3 days ago · In mathematics, exponentiation is an operation involving two numbers: the base and the exponent or power. Exponentiation is written as b n, where b is the base and n is the power; this is pronounced as "b (raised) to the (power of) n ".
6 days ago · In mathematics, the concept of a measure is a generalization and formalization of geometrical measures ( length, area, volume) and other common notions, such as magnitude, mass, and probability of events.
4 days ago · Various mathematicians and organizations have published and promoted lists of unsolved mathematical problems. In some cases, the lists have been associated with prizes for the discoverers of solutions.
4 days ago · Number theory is the study of properties of the integers. Because of the fundamental nature of the integers in mathematics, and the fundamental nature of mathematics in science, the famous mathematician and physicist Gauss wrote: "Mathematics is the queen of the sciences, and number theory is the queen of mathematics."
2 days ago · Quantum mechanics [QM] is a branch of physics which describes physical systems so that properties like the energy or angular momentum are discrete quantities that are multiples of a smallest unit or quantum. A famous physicist named Erwin Schrödinger made an example of quantum mechanics, often called Schrödinger's cat.
4 days ago · Discrete mathematics is the study of mathematical structures that are countable or otherwise distinct and separable. Examples of structures that are discrete are combinations, graphs, and logical statements.
6 days ago · LaTeX needs to know when the text is mathematical. This is because LaTeX typesets math notation differently from normal text. Therefore, special environments have been declared for this purpose. They can be distinguished into two categories depending on how they are presented:
5 days ago · The number π (/ p aɪ /; spelled out as "pi") is a mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, approximately equal to 3.14159. The number π appears in many formulae across mathematics and physics.
6 days ago · A service of the NDSU Department of Mathematics, in association with the American Mathematical Society.
3 days ago · What does Mathematics Do? We propose to collect on this page links to sites describing the amazing breadth and power of mathematics. To start with, two good examples come from the American Mathematical Society. They are both accessible to non-mathematicians.
