81Hamiltonian vector field — In mathematics and physics, a Hamiltonian vector field on a symplectic manifold is a vector field, defined for any energy function or Hamiltonian. Named after the physicist and mathematician Sir William Rowan Hamilton, a Hamiltonian vector field… …
82Jet (mathematics) — In mathematics, the jet is an operation which takes a differentiable function f and produces a polynomial, the truncated Taylor polynomial of f , at each point of its domain. Although this is the definition of a jet, the theory of jets regards… …

84Ordered vector space — A point x in R2 and the set of all y such that x≤y (in red). The order here is x≤y if and only if x1 ≤ y1 and x2 ≤ y2. In mathematics an ordered vector space or partially ordered vector space is a vector space equi …
85Module (mathematics) — For other uses, see Module (disambiguation). In abstract algebra, the concept of a module over a ring is a generalization of the notion of vector space, wherein the corresponding scalars are allowed to lie in an arbitrary ring. Modules also… …
86History of mathematics — A proof from Euclid s Elements, widely considered the most influential textbook of all time.[1] …
87Metric (mathematics) — In mathematics, a metric or distance function is a function which defines a distance between elements of a set. A set with a metric is called a metric space. A metric induces a topology on a set but not all topologies can be generated by a metric …
88Roman letters used in mathematics — NOTOC Many Roman letters, both capital and small, are used in mathematics, science and engineering to denote by convention specific or abstracted constants, variables of a certain type, units, multipliers, physical entities. Certain letters, when …
89Operation (mathematics) — The general operation as explained on this page should not be confused with the more specific operators on vector spaces. For a notion in elementary mathematics, see arithmetic operation. In its simplest meaning in mathematics and logic, an… …
90Germ (mathematics) — In mathematics, the notion of a germ of an object in/on a topological space captures the local properties of the object. In particular, the objects in question are mostly functions (or maps) and subsets. In specific implementations of this idea,… …
