Form - Mathematics

Mathematics

  • Algebraic form (homogeneous polynomial), which generalises quadratic forms to degrees 3 and more, also known as quantics or simply forms
  • Bilinear form, on a vector space V over a field F is a mapping V × VF that is linear in both arguments
  • Differential form, a concept from differential topology that combines multilinear forms and smooth functions
  • Indeterminate form, an algebraic expression that cannot be used to evaluate a limit
  • Modular form, a (complex) analytic function on the upper half plane satisfying a certain kind of functional equation and growth condition
  • Multilinear form, which generalises bilinear forms to mappings VNF
  • Quadratic form, a homogeneous polynomial of degree two in a number of variables

Famous quotes containing the word mathematics:

    I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.
    John Adams (1735–1826)

    It is a monstrous thing to force a child to learn Latin or Greek or mathematics on the ground that they are an indispensable gymnastic for the mental powers. It would be monstrous even if it were true.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
