  Transcendence degree - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In abstract algebra, the transcendence degree of a field extension L / K is a certain rather coarse measure of the "size" of the extension.
Specifically, it is defined as the largest cardinality of an algebraically independent subset of L over K.
The dictionary matches algebraically independent sets with linearly independent sets; sets S such that L is algebraic over K(S) with spanning sets; transcendence bases with bases; and transcendence degree with dimension.

 Algebraic independence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
In abstract algebra, a subset S of a field L is algebraically independent over a subfield K if the elements of S do not satisfy any non-trivial polynomial equation with coefficients in K.
In general, all the elements of an algebraically independent set over K are by necessity transcendental over K, but that is far from being a sufficient condition.
Further, all the maximal algebraically independent subsets have the same cardinality, known as the transcendence degree of the extension.

The algebraic closure of Q(S), cl(Q(S)), must contain R, so it is C. What's the size of S? Since C has cardinality 2^(aleph_0) and the cardinality of an infinite field is the same as the cardinality of its algebraic closure, Q(S) must have cardinality 2^(aleph_0).
If a field f(R) is obtained by the extension of a bijection between Q(S) and Q(T) where S is a maximal algebraically independent subset of R and T is an algebraically independent subset of R, then the field Q(T) is in f(R) intersect R, so that f(R) intersect R is of cardinality 2^aleph_0.
Suppose that r is in the intersection and r is not algebraic.

 The Transcendent Space of an Extension
In an earlier section we saw that an element v is algebraic over the base field K if it satisfies a polynomial (in one variable) with coefficients drawn from K. Failing this, v is transcendental.
Algebraic and integral are synonymous when K is a field, since one can always divide p through by its lead coefficient to make it monic.

 Transcendental number -   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
In mathematics, a transcendental number is any complex number that is not algebraic, that is, not the solution of a non-zero polynomial equation with integer (or, equivalently, rational) coefficients.
However, an algebraic function of several variables may yield an algebraic value when applied to transcendental numbers if these numbers are not algebraically independent: π and 1−π are both transcendental, but π+(1−π)=1 is obviously not.
Because algebraic numbers form an algebraically closed field, this would imply that the roots of the polynomial, which happen to be a and b, must be algebraic.

In any Lorentzian manifold, the fourth rank Riemann curvature tensor R^a_(bcd) (20 algebraically independent components at each event) decomposes into the second rank Ricci curvature tensor R_(ab) (10 algebraically independent components at each event) and the fourth rank Weyl conformal curvature tensor C^a_(bcd) (10 algebraically independent components at each event).
Petrov classified the algebraic symmetries which the Weyl tensor can have like this: I II D III N O The type I situation is the most generic: the Weyl tensor has no "extra algebraic symmetries".

A well-known conjecture states that linearly independent logarithms of algebraic numbers are algebraically independent over the field of rational numbers.
So far, it is not yet known that there exist two algebraically independent logarithms of algebraic numbers.
From this point of view, half of the conjecture is known: the actual rank of such a matrix is at least half the conjectural rank.

 [FOM] FOM: Zilber's Program
A key part of their proof was the observation that in a strongly minimal set algebraic closure satisfies exchange (if x in acl(A,b) and x not in acl(A), then b is in acl(A,x)).
This means that strongly minimal sets with algebraic closure determine a pregeometry and there is a well defined dimension theory (special cases are the usual dimension in linear algebra or transcendence degree in algebraically closed fields).
In addition to Shannuel's conjecture (SC) there are axioms asserting algebraic closedness (ACF) the kernel of exponentiation is free on one generator (ker), subsets of the line defined as solutions to systems of equations are countable (CC), and an axiom asserting that certain non-overdetermined systems of equations have solutions (EC).

 RR-3345 : Algebraic Relations among Matching Constraints of Multiple Images
The exact algebraic relations among these multi-linear constraints have not been elucidated by previous authors.
The key result that will be established is that for generic view configurations and generic points, all multi-linear constraints may algebraically be reduced to the algebraically independent bilinear constraints-.
As a consequence, $2n-3$ algebraically independent bilinearities from pairs of views completely describe the algebraic/geometric structure of $n$ uncalibrated views for generic views and points.

 Pi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1789, the Slovene mathematician Jurij Vega improved John Machin's formula from 1706 and calculated the first 140 decimal places for π of which the first 126 were correct [1] and held the world record for 52 years until 1841, when William Rutherford calculated 208 decimal places of which the first 152 were correct.
The English amateur mathematician William Shanks, a man of independent means, spent over 20 years calculating π to 707 decimal places (accomplished in 1873).
In 1944, D. Ferguson found (with the aid of a mechanical desk calculator) that Shanks had made a mistake in the 528th decimal place, and that all succeeding digits were fallacious.

 How does matter couple to space-time so that space-time becomes curved?
Furthermore, the curvature of space-time at each event is completely described by a multilinear operator (a generalization of a linear operator) called the Riemann curvature tensor, which has 20 algebraically independent components at each event.
The components of the Riemann tensor identically satisfy a differential equation (the Bianchi identity), which is why the metric tensor (ten algebraically independent components at each event) can and does completely determine the Riemann curvature tensor (20 algebraically independent components at each event).
Physics enters via the stress-energy tensor T_(ab), which you can think of as a 4x4 symmetric matrix (so it has 10 algebraically independent components at each event); this tensor completely describes the amount of (non-gravitational) mass-energy at each event, and also any momentum (mass-energy flow) and stresses (such as the pressures in a fluid).

 The linear 4-point algorithm
This can effectively be done with any computer algebra system and will directly give the unique solution of the problem for general configurations of the points.
However this algebraic method is almost useless for practical situations as the successive elimination will ultimately give complicated coefficients for the final linear polynomial which compromise the numerical stability of the solution.
Instead of doing it algebraically, our goal is to develope a numerical linear method which indeed gives the unique solution if it does exist.

Of course, there must be other symmetries so that the number of algebraically independent components of *R_(abcd) is 20, the same as for R_(abcd).
Together, ER(X) and BR(X) account for 6+8=14 of the 20 algebraically independent components of the Riemann tensor R. There is a third tensor, the Bel tensor LR(X), which accounts for the other 6 components, and has the same symmetries as ER(X).
Recall that in contrast, the conformal curvature or Weyl tensor, the completely traceless part of the Riemann tensor, has 10 algebraically independent components at each event, and splits into electro-Weyl tensors EW(X) and magneto-Weyl tensors BW(X), each of which can be thought of as symmetric traceless three by three matrices (five algebraically independent components each).

Use Of Algebraically Independent Numbers For Zero Recognition, J.
We attempt to decide whether or not such a tree represents the zero polynomial by substituting algebraically independent real numbers for the variables and attempting to decide whether or not the resulting constant is zero.
The result is that if a polynomial term has s(T) nodes, then the bit complexity of deterministic zero recognition is bounded by O(s(T)M(s(T) length(T))), where length(T) measures the length of the term T, and M(n) is the bit complexity of multiplication of two n-digit natural numbers.
