  2. Universal property - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_property

    Universal property. The typical diagram of the definition of a universal morphism. In mathematics, more specifically in category theory, a universal property is a property that characterizes up to an isomorphism the result of some constructions. Thus, universal properties can be used for defining some objects independently from the method ...

  3. Mathematical notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_notation

    Mathematical notation consists of using symbols for representing operations, unspecified numbers, relations, and any other mathematical objects and assembling them into expressions and formulas. Mathematical notation is widely used in mathematics, science, and engineering for representing complex concepts and properties in a concise ...

  4. Number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number

    More universally, individual numbers can be represented by symbols, called numerals; for example, "5" is a numeral that represents the number five. As only a relatively small number of symbols can be memorized, basic numerals are commonly organized in a numeral system, which is an organized way to

  5. Natural number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_number

    A natural number can be used to express the size of a finite set; more precisely, a cardinal number is a measure for the size of a set, which is even suitable for infinite sets. The numbering of cardinals usually begins at zero, to accommodate the empty set. ∅ {\displaystyle \emptyset }

  6. Exterior algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exterior_algebra

    Formal definition. The exterior algebra Λ ( V) of a vector space V over a field K is defined as the quotient algebra of the tensor algebra by the two-sided ideal I generated by all elements of the form x ⊗ x such that x ∈ V. [6] Symbolically, The exterior product ∧ of two elements of Λ ( V) is defined by.

  7. Universal quantification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_quantification

    In mathematical logic, a universal quantification is a type of quantifier, a logical constant which is interpreted as " given any ", " for all ", or " for any ". It expresses that a predicate can be satisfied by every member of a domain of discourse. In other words, it is the predication of a property or relation to every member of the domain.

  8. Kernel (category theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_(category_theory)

    As mentioned above, a kernel is a type of binary equaliser, or difference kernel . Conversely, in a preadditive category, every binary equaliser can be constructed as a kernel. To be specific, the equaliser of the morphisms f and g is the kernel of the difference g − f . In symbols: eq ( f , g) = ker ( g − f ).

  9. Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_Alphanumeric...

    Without proper rendering support, you may see question marks, boxes, or other symbols. Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols is a Unicode block comprising styled forms of Latin and Greek letters and decimal digits that enable mathematicians to denote different notions with different letter styles. The letters in various fonts often have specific ...
