Topic: List of mathematical examples


  
  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Symmetry of second derivatives
Mathematics, often abbreviated maths in Commonwealth English and math in American English, is the study of abstraction.
In mathematics, a partial derivative of a function of several variables is its derivative with respect to one of those variables with the others held constant.
In mathematics, a function space is a set of functions of a given kind from a set X to a set Y. It is called a space because in most applications, it is a topological space or/and a vector space.

  List of mathematical examples - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Usually a definition of an abstract concept, a theorem, or a proof would not be an "example" as the term should be understood here (an elegant proof of an isolated but particularly striking fact, as opposed to a proof of a general theorem, could perhaps be considered an "example").
The discussion page for list of mathematical topics has some comments on this.
The concrete example within the article titled Rao-Blackwell theorem is perhaps one of the best ways for a probabilist ignorant of statistical inference to get a quick impression of the flavor of that subject.

 Research Sampler 5: Examples in Learning Mathematics
Students who initially employed example generation as their learning strategy came up with a variety of discontinuous, periodic continuous, and non-periodic continuous examples and were able to use these in their explanations.
There was also a strong tendency to (directly) check the correctness of examples, e.g., some students who had created a number divisible by 17 by choosing a multiplier and performing the multiplication, verified the correctness of their example by division.
Furthermore, when students are allowed to discuss mathematical ideas and propose conjectures in class, teachers need to be able to evaluate student-generated examples, as well as to be able to propose counterexamples for their students' consideration.

 Glossary of Mathematical Mistakes
This is a list of mathematical mistakes made over and over by advertisers, the media, reporters, politicians, activists, and in general many non-math people.
Example: For decades it was thought that the normal body temperature was 98.6°F. This number was calculated from a study in Germany which reported normal at 37°C. What was not known was that this number was an average rounded to the nearest degree.
Example: During the 1992 presidential race, the Democrats pointed to how the economy was not doing as well as it was five years ago (1987 was an unusually good year economically), while Republicans pointed out that the economy was better than it was 11 years ago (1981 was an unusually bad year economically).

 Appendix F
For example the declare construct is used to reset the default attribute values, or to associate a name with a specific instance of an object.
For example, the lambda element is actually a constructor which constructs a function definition from a list of variables and an expression, while the fn element is a constructor that, in effect, sets the type of an object to function and if necessary, provides an external definition.
For example V may be a name delcared to be a vector, or V may be a name which stands for a particular vector.

She realized that the most remarkable growth of mathematical knowledge occurs between the pre-kindergarten and grade 2 levels and that it was especially important at this stage to focus on guiding children's development of fundamental mathematical concepts.
She also became aware that young children express their mathematical knowledge in a variety of contexts that are not necessarily related to "math activities." As a result, she could plan individually appropriate learning experiences for them as well as joint experiences where they could learn from each other.
