111Quadruple-precision floating-point format — In computing, quadruple precision (also commonly shortened to quad precision) is a binary floating point computer number format that occupies 16 bytes (128 bits) in computer memory. In IEEE 754 2008 the 128 bit base 2 format is officially… …
112Constructivism (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,… …
113Interval (mathematics) — This article is about intervals of real numbers. For intervals in general mathematics, see Partially ordered set. For other uses, see Interval. In mathematics, a (real) interval is a set of real numbers with the property that any number that lies …
114Timeline of Islamic science and engineering — This timeline of Islamic science and engineering covers the general development of science and technology in the Islamic world during the Islamic Golden Age, usually dated from the 7th to 16th centuries.From the 17th century onwards, the advances …
115Exact sciences (The) in Hellenistic times: texts and issues — The exact sciences in Hellenistic times: Texts and issues1 Alan C.Bowen Modern scholars often rely on the history of Greco Latin science2 as a backdrop and support for interpreting past philosophical thought. Their warrant is the practice… …
116Generalized mean — In mathematics, a generalized mean, also known as power mean or Hölder mean (named after Otto Hölder), is an abstraction of the Pythagorean means including arithmetic, geometric, and harmonic means. Contents 1 Definition 2 Properties 2.1 …
117NaN — For other uses, see Nan. In computing, NaN (Not a Number) is a value of the numeric data type representing an undefined or unrepresentable value, especially in floating point calculations. Systematic use of NaNs was introduced by the IEEE 754… …
118Algebraic number field — In mathematics, an algebraic number field (or simply number field) F is a finite (and hence algebraic) field extension of the field of rational numbers Q. Thus F is a field that contains Q and has finite dimension when considered as a vector… …
119Algebra — This article is about the branch of mathematics. For other uses, see Algebra (disambiguation). Algebra is the branch of mathematics concerning the study of the rules of operations and relations, and the constructions and concepts arising from… …
120List of mathematical symbols — This is a listing of common symbols found within all branches of mathematics. Each symbol is listed in both HTML, which depends on appropriate fonts being installed, and in TeX, as an image. This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.… …
