31Metric tensor — In the mathematical field of differential geometry, a metric tensor is a type of function defined on a manifold (such as a surface in space) which takes as input a pair of tangent vectors v and w and produces a real number (scalar) g(v,w) in a… …
32Indexed family — In mathematics, an indexed family of sets is defined in stages, beginning with the more general concept of an indexed family of elements, which is really just an alternative way of conceptualizing a function or a mapping.First, a mapping f from a …
33Legendre transformation — f(x) . The function is shown in red, and the tangent line at point (x 0, f(x 0)) is shown in blue. The tangent line intersects the vertical axis at (0, f^star) and f^star is the value of the Legendre transform f^star(p 0) , where p 0=dot{f}(x 0) …
34Decomposition of spectrum (functional analysis) — In mathematics, especially functional analysis, the spectrum of an operator generalizes the notion of eigenvalues. Given an operator, it is sometimes useful to break up the spectrum into various parts. This article discusses a few examples of… …
35Möbius transformation — Not to be confused with Möbius transform or Möbius function. In geometry, a Möbius transformation of the plane is a rational function of the form of one complex variable z; here the coefficients a, b, c, d are complex numbers satisfying ad − …
36Banach algebra — In mathematics, especially functional analysis, a Banach algebra, named after Stefan Banach, is an associative algebra A over the real or complex numbers which at the same time is also a Banach space. The algebra multiplication and the Banach… …
37Bijection, injection and surjection — In mathematics, injections, surjections and bijections are classes of functions distinguished by the manner in which arguments (input expressions from the domain) and images (output expressions from the codomain) are related or mapped to each… …
382 × 2 real matrices — The set of 2 × 2 real matrices is denoted by M(2, R). Two matrices p and q in M(2, R) have a sum p + q given by matrix addition. The product matrix p q is formed from the dot product of the rows and columns of its factors… …
39Split-complex number — A portion of the split complex number plane showing subsets with modulus zero (red), one (blue), and minus one (green). In abstract algebra, the split complex numbers (or hyperbolic numbers) are a two dimensional commutative algebra over the real …
40Monoid — This article is about the mathematical concept. For the alien creatures in the Doctor Who adventure, see The Ark (Doctor Who). Coherence law for monoid unit In abstract algebra, a branch of mathematics, a monoid is an algebraic structure with a… …
