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:

    In mathematics he was greater
    Than Tycho Brahe, or Erra Pater:
    For he, by geometric scale,
    Could take the size of pots of ale;
    Resolve, by sines and tangents straight,
    If bread and butter wanted weight;
    And wisely tell what hour o’ th’ day
    The clock doth strike, by algebra.
    Samuel Butler (1612–1680)

    Why does man freeze to death trying to reach the North Pole? Why does man drive himself to suffer the steam and heat of the Amazon? Why does he stagger his mind with the mathematics of the sky? Once the question mark has arisen in the human brain the answer must be found, if it takes a hundred years. A thousand years.
    Walter Reisch (1903–1963)
