Topic: Correspondence (mathematics)


In the News (Wed 30 Dec 09)

  
  Correspondence - LoveToKnow Watches
The " doctrine of correspondence or correspondences," one of the leading tenets of Swedenborgianism, is that every natural object corresponds to and typifies some spiritual principle or truth, this being the only key to the true interpretation of Scripture.
In mathematics, the term " correspondence " implies the existence of some relation between the members of two groups of objects.
If each object of the first group corresponds to fi objects of the second group, and each object of the second group corresponds to a objects of the first group, then an a to (3 correspondence exists between the two groups.

 Chapter 2: The Nature of Mathematics
Mathematics relies on both logic and creativity, and it is pursued both for a variety of practical purposes and for its intrinsic interest.
Theoretical mathematics, unlike the other sciences, is not constrained by the real world, but in the long run it contributes to a better understanding of that world.
As far as mathematics is concerned, it does not matter whether a triangle represents the surface area of a sail or the convergence of two lines of sight on a star; mathematicians can work with either concept in the same way.

 Fundamental theorem of Galois theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, the fundamental theorem of Galois theory is a result that describes the structure of certain types of field extensions.
For example, the topmost field E corresponds to the trivial subgroup of Gal(E/F), and the base field F corresponds to the whole group Gal(E/F).
As usual, the entire group G corresponds to the base field Q, and the trivial group {1} corresponds to the whole field K.

 Mathematics of Correspondence Analysis
Correspondence matrix is defined as the original table (or matrix) N divided by the grand total n.
The matrix of row profiles can also be defined as the rows of the correspondence matrix P divided by their respective row sums (i.e.
The correspondence analysis problem is to find a low-dimensional approximation to the original data matrix that represents both the row and column profiles

 Schroder-Bernstein Theorem
Two sets A and B have the same cardinality if there is a 1-1 and onto mapping or correspondence from A to B. Often, it is easier to find a 1-1 mapping rather than one that is 1-1 and onto.
If there is a 1-1 correspondence from A to B and a 1-1 corespondence from B to A, then there is a bijection between A and B. The proof is given elsewhere on these pages.
That is, if A and B are finite sets and if there is correspondence from A onto B and also a correspondence from B onto A, then there exists a 1-1 and onto correspondence from A to B (and hence from B to A).

 Archives of American Mathematics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The Archives of American Mathematics (AAM) is dedicated to preserving the records of American mathematics for use by mathematicians and historians and sociologists of science and mathematics.
Although mathematics has had an immense influence on American culture, science, and technology, the materials available for the study of its history are meager, highly dispersed, and often in danger of destruction.
The Archives of American Mathematics thus serves as a national repository for the papers of mathematicians and the records of mathematical organizations for which appropriate local preservation is not available.

While I was passing this morning I gave its ON button a small tap and with that it sprang into action.
At the time, I had contacted several mathematicians for the writing of my chapter on groupoids, including Saunders Mac Lane, who told me that they didn't feature at all in the early days of category theory.
During my time as a PhD student I had loved the story of maths he had told about in The scope and history of commutative and noncommutative harmonic analysis, so I asked him how he saw groupoids fitting into the picture.
