transcendental number
41Dual number — For dual grammatical number found in some languages, see Dual (grammatical number). In linear algebra, the dual numbers extend the real numbers by adjoining one new element ε with the property ε2 = 0 (ε is nilpotent). The collection of dual… …
42Period (number) — In mathematics, a period is a number that can be expressed as an integral of an algebraic function over an algebraic domain. The concept has been promoted by Maxim Kontsevich and Don Zagier.In elementary mathematics each group of three digits in… …
43algebraic number — Math. 1. a root of an algebraic equation with integral coefficients. 2. root1 (def. 10b). [1930 35] * * * real number for which there exists a polynomial equation with integer coefficients such that the given real number is a solution.… …
44Complex number — A complex number can be visually represented as a pair of numbers forming a vector on a diagram called an Argand diagram, representing the complex plane. Re is the real axis, Im is the imaginary axis, and i is the square root of –1. A complex… …
45Surreal number — In mathematics, the surreal number system is an arithmetic continuum containing the real numbers as well as infinite and infinitesimal numbers, respectively larger or smaller in absolute value than any positive real number. The surreals share… …
46Natural number — Natural numbers can be used for counting (one apple, two apples, three apples, ...) from top to bottom. In mathematics, the natural numbers are the ordinary whole numbers used for counting ( there are 6 coins on the table ) and ordering ( this is …
47Prime number theorem — PNT redirects here. For other uses, see PNT (disambiguation). In number theory, the prime number theorem (PNT) describes the asymptotic distribution of the prime numbers. The prime number theorem gives a general description of how the primes are… …
48Negative number — This thermometer is indicating a slightly negative …
49p-adic number — In mathematics, and chiefly number theory, the p adic number system for any prime number p extends the ordinary arithmetic of the rational numbers in a way different from the extension of the rational number system to the real and complex number… …
50Condition number — In the field of numerical analysis, the condition number of a function with respect to an argument measures the asymptotically worst case of how much the function can change in proportion to small changes in the argument. The function is the… …
