| | | | | | table of mathematical symbols: Encyclopedia II - Mathematical notation - Precise semantic meaning Precision is necessary so that we can know what we are investigating. Suppose that we have statements, denoted by some formal sequence of symbols, about some objects (for example, numbers, shapes, patterns). Until the statements can be shown to be valid, their meaning is not yet resolved. While reasoning, we might let the denoted symbols refer to those objects, perhaps in a model. The semantics of that object has a heuristic side and a d ...

| | | | | table of mathematical symbols: Encyclopedia II - Mean - Weighted mean The weighted mean is used, if one wants to combine average values from samples of the same population with different sample sizes:
The weights wi represent the bounds of the partial sample. In other applications they represent a measure for the reliability of the influence upon the mean by respective values.

x is an element of A ∩ B if and only if
x is an element of A and
x is an element of B.
For example, the intersection of the sets {1, 2, 3} and {2, 3, 4} is {2, 3}. The number 9 is not contained in the intersection of the set of prime numbers

| | | | | table of mathematical symbols: Encyclopedia II - Mean - Mean of a function In calculus, and especially multivariable calculus, the mean of a function is loosely defined as the average value of the function over its domain. In one variable, the mean of a function f(x) over the interval (a,b) is defined by
(See also mean value theorem.) In several variables, the mean over a relatively compact domain U in a Euclidean space is defined by
This generalizes the arithmetic mean. On the other hand, it is also possible to generalize the geometric mean to functions by defining the geometric ...

| | | | | | table of mathematical symbols: Encyclopedia II - Mathematics - History The evolution of mathematics might be seen to be an ever-increasing series of abstractions, or alternatively an expansion of subject matter. The first abstraction was probably that of numbers. The realization that two apples and two oranges do have something in common, namely that they fill the hands of exactly one person, was a breakthrough in human thought. In addition to recognizing how to count concrete objects, prehistoric peoples also recognized how to count abstract quantities, like time -- days, seasons, years. Arithmetic (e.g. addition, subtraction, mul ...

| | | | | table of mathematical symbols: Encyclopedia II - Mathematics - Inspiration pure and applied mathematics and aesthetics Mathematics arises wherever there are difficult problems that involve quantity, structure, space, or change. At first these were found in commerce, land measurement and later astronomy; nowadays, all sciences suggest problems studied by mathematicians, and many problems arise within mathematics itself. Newton invented infinitesimal calculus and Feynman his Feynman path integral using a combination of reasoning and physical insight, and today's string theory also inspires new mathematics. Some mathematics is only relevant in the area that ins ...

| | | | | table of mathematical symbols: Encyclopedia II - Mean - Generalized mean The generalized mean, also known as the power mean or Hölder mean, is an abstraction of the Arithmetic, Geometric and Harmonic Means.
By choosing the appropriate value for the parameter m we can get the arithmetic mean (m = 1), the geometric mean (m -> 0) or the harmonic mean (m = -1)
This could be generalised further as
and again a suitable choice of an invertible f(x) will give the arithmetic mean with f(x)=x, the geometric mean with f(x)=log(x), and the h ...

| | | | | table of mathematical symbols: Encyclopedia II - Mathematics - Common misconceptions Mathematics is not a closed intellectual system, in which everything has already been worked out. There is no shortage of open problems.
Pseudomathematics is a form of mathematics-like activity undertaken outside academia, and occasionally by mathematicians themselves. It often consists of determined attacks on famous questions, consisting of proof-attempts made in an isolated way (that is, long papers not supported by previously published theory). The relationship to generally-accepted mathematics is similar to that between pseudosci ...

| | | | | table of mathematical symbols: Encyclopedia II - Mathematics - Overview of fields of mathematics As noted above, the major disciplines within mathematics first arose out of the need to do calculations in commerce, to understand the relationships between numbers, to measure land, and to predict astronomical events. These four needs can be roughly related to the broad subdivision of mathematics into the study of quantity, structure, space, and change (i.e. arithmetic, algebra, geometry and analysis). In addition to these main concerns, there are also subdivisions dedicated to exploring links from the heart of mathematics to other fields: to logic, to set theory (foundations) and to the emp ...

| | | | | table of mathematical symbols: Encyclopedia II - Mathematics - Is mathematics a science? Carl Friedrich Gauss referred to mathematics as the Queen of the Sciences.
If one considers science to be strictly about the physical world, then mathematics, or at least pure mathematics, is not a science. An alternative view is that certain scientific fields (such as theoretical physics) are mathematics with axioms that are intended to correspond to reality. In fact, the theoretical physicist, J. M. Ziman, proposed that science is < ...

| | | | | table of mathematical symbols: Encyclopedia II - Average - Other averages The geometric mean, harmonic mean, generalized mean, weighted mean, truncated mean, and interquartile mean are described in their own articles and in the Mean article.
Other more sophisticated averages, usually more representative of the whole dataset are: trimean, trimedian, and normalised mean, to name a few. One can create one's own average metric using the generic formula y = f -1((f(x1)+f(x2)+...+f(xn))/n) where f is any invertible function. For example, expmean (exponential mean) is a mean using the function f(x) = e^x and due to its natur ...
