Reciprocity - Mathematics

Mathematics

  • Reciprocity law in mathematics, including
    • Quadratic reciprocity, a fundamental result in number theory
    • Cubic reciprocity, theorems that state conditions under which the congruence x3 ≡ p (mod q) is solvable
    • Quartic reciprocity, a collection of theorems in elementary and algebraic number theory that state conditions under which the congruence x4 ≡ p (mod q) is solvable
    • Artin reciprocity law, a general theorem in number theory that provided a partial solution to Hilbert's ninth problem
    • Reciprocity relation or exact differential, a mathematical differential of the form dQ, for some differentiable function Q
  • Weil reciprocity for algebraic curves
  • Reciprocal polynomials, the coefficients of the remainder polynomial are the bits of the CRC
  • Reciprocal square root
  • Reciprocity (projective geometry), a collineation from a projective space onto its dual space, taking points to hyperplanes (and vice versa) and preserving incidence
  • Frobenius reciprocity, from group representation theory
  • Reciprocity law for Dedekind sums
  • Stanley's reciprocity theorem, states that a certain functional equation is satisfied by the generating function of any rational cone and the generating function of the cone's interior

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)

    ... though mathematics may teach a man how to build a bridge, it is what the Scotch Universities call the humanities, that teach him to be civil and sweet-tempered.
    Amelia E. Barr (1831–1919)
