A graph that is not finite is called infinite.

An infinitesimal is some quantity that is explicitly nonzero and yet smaller in absolute value than any real quantity. The understanding of infinitesimals was a major ...

Let B, A, and e be square matrices with e small, and define B=A(I+e), (1) where I is the identity matrix. Then the inverse of B is approximately B^(-1)=(I-e)A^(-1). (2) This ...

Conditions at an initial time t=t_0 from which a given set of mathematical equations or physical system evolves. A system with initial conditions specified is known as an ...

In a category C, an initial object is an object I in Ob(C) such that for any other object X in Ob(C), there is one and only one morphism from I to X.

An injective patch is a patch such that x(u_1,v_1)=x(u_2,v_2) implies that u_1=u_2 and v_1=v_2. An example of a patch which is injective but not regular is the function ...

An inner automorphism of a group G is an automorphism of the form phi(g)=h^(-1)gh, where h is a fixed element of G. The automorphism of the symmetric group S_3 that maps the ...

A particular type of automorphism group which exists only for groups. For a group G, the inner automorphism group is defined by Inn(G)={sigma_a:a in G} subset Aut(G) where ...

Externally erect a square on the side BC. Now join the new vertices S_(AB) and S_AC of this square with the vertex A, marking the points of intersection Q_(A,BC) and ...

An inner product space is a vector space together with an inner product on it. If the inner product defines a complete metric, then the inner product space is called a ...
