Domanda English Risposta English
the area of modern mathematics that considers algebraic structures to be sets with operations defined on them, and extends algebraic concepts...
... usually associated with the real number system to other more general systems, such as groups, rings, fields, modules and vector spaces

abstract algebra
pairs of numbers for which the sum of the divisors of one number equals the other number, e.g. 220 and 284, 1184 and 1210
inizia ad imparare
amicable numbers
the study of geometry using a coordinate system and the principles of algebra and analysis, thus defining geometrical shapes in a numerical way and extracting numerical information from that representation
inizia ad imparare
analytic (Cartesian) geometry
grounded in the rigorous formulation of calculus, analysis is the branch of pure mathematics concerned with the notion of a limit (whether of a sequence or of a function)
inizia ad imparare
analysis (mathematical analysis)
the part of mathematics that studies quantity, especially as the result of combining numbers (as opposed to variables) using the traditional operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division
inizia ad imparare
arithmetic
property (which applies both to multiplication and addition) by which numbers can be added or multiplied in any order and still yield the same value, e.g. (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) or (ab)c = a(bc)
inizia ad imparare
associative property
a line that the curve of a function tends towards as the independent variable of the curve approaches some limit (usually infinity) i.e. the distance between the curve and the line approaches zero
inizia ad imparare
asymptote
a proposition that is not actually proved or demonstrated, but is considered to be self-evident and universally accepted as a starting point for deducing and inferring other truths and theorems, without any need of proof
inizia ad imparare
axiom
the number of unique digits (including zero) that a positional numeral system uses to represent numbers, e.g. base 10 (decimal) uses 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 in each place value position
base 2 (binary) uses just 0 and 1; base 60 (sexagesimal, as used in ancient Mesopotamia) uses all the numbers from 0 to 59

base n
etc
a popular interpretation of probability which evaluates the probability of a hypothesis by specifying some prior probability, and then updating in the light of new relevant data
inizia ad imparare
Bayesian probability
a one-to-one comparison or correspondence of the members of two sets, so that there are no unmapped elements in either set, which are therefore of the same size and cardinality
inizia ad imparare
bijection
bijective function
a polynomial algebraic expression or equation with just two terms
inizia ad imparare
binomial
a type of algebra which can be applied to the solution of logical problems and mathematical functions, in which the variables are logical rather than numerical, and in which the only operators are AND, OR and NOT
inizia ad imparare
logic / boolean algebra
