1Large countable ordinal — In the mathematical discipline of set theory, there are many ways of describing specific countable ordinals. The smallest ones can be usefully and non circularly expressed in terms of their Cantor normal forms. Beyond that, many ordinals of… …
2Ordinal number — This article is about the mathematical concept. For number words denoting a position in a sequence ( first , second , third , etc.), see Ordinal number (linguistics). Representation of the ordinal numbers up to ωω. Each turn of the spiral… …
3Constructivism (mathematics) — In the philosophy of mathematics, constructivism asserts that it is necessary to find (or construct ) a mathematical object to prove that it exists. When one assumes that an object does not exist and derives a contradiction from that assumption,… …
4Von Neumann algebra — In mathematics, a von Neumann algebra or W* algebra is a * algebra of bounded operators on a Hilbert space that is closed in the weak operator topology and contains the identity operator. They were originally introduced by John von Neumann,… …
5Ordinal collapsing function — In mathematical logic and set theory, an ordinal collapsing function (or projection function) is a technique for defining (notations for) certain recursive large countable ordinals, whose principle is to give names to certain ordinals much larger …
6probability theory — Math., Statistics. the theory of analyzing and making statements concerning the probability of the occurrence of uncertain events. Cf. probability (def. 4). [1830 40] * * * Branch of mathematics that deals with analysis of random events.… …
7metalogic — /met euh loj ik/, n. the logical analysis of the fundamental concepts of logic. [1835 45; META + LOGIC] * * * Study of the syntax and the semantics of formal languages and formal systems. It is related to, but does not include, the formal… …
8Banach–Tarski paradox — The Banach–Tarski paradox is a theorem in set theoretic geometry which states that a solid ball in 3 dimensional space can be split into several non overlapping pieces, which can then be put back together in a different way to yield two identical …
9Morley's categoricity theorem — Vaught s test redirects here. Not to be confused with the Tarski–Vaught test. Categorical theory redirects here. Not to be confused with Category Theory. In model theory, a branch of mathematical logic, a theory is κ categorical (or categorical… …
10Boolean-valued model — In mathematical logic, a Boolean valued model is a generalization of the ordinary Tarskian notion of structure or model, in which the truth values of propositions are not limited to true and false , but take values in some fixed complete Boolean… …
