A6 Quadratic equations
... If Jenny’s average speed on the way to work was 8 miles per hour her average speed on the way home would be –12 miles per hour, a negative number. We can therefore ignore the second solution. When practical problems lead to quadratic equations it is very often the case that only one of the solution ...

THE CHARNEY-DAVIS QUANTITY FOR CERTAIN GRADED POSETS
... For this reason, we call this conjecturally non-negative quantity the Charney-Davis quantity for any graded poset P . It is an easy consequence (see [4, Lemma 7.5] or [14, Proposition 1.4]) of the symmetry of W (P, t) that whenever the Neggers-Stanley Conjecture holds for P , the above Charney-Davis ...

... vertices by precisely R(r − 1, s) − 1 red edges and R(r, s − 1) − 1 blue edges. This is because if a vertex v has R(r − 1, s) − 1 red edges, then the set of vertices that is connected to v by red edges, call it V , has |V | = R(r − 1, s) − 1. Therefore, we can nd a graph for which V has no Kr−1 mon ...

... So if each factor in the standard form of a number is representable, then the number itself is representable. Once again, let us examine the standard form of a number N ; here, however, N is completely arbitrary. Trivially, 2 = 12 + 12 + 02 + 02 , so any power of 2 is representable. It immediately f ...

... In the first evaluation shown above, for instance, 3 is substituted for x in the expression –3x + 5. There are four arithmetic operations with real numbers: addition, multiplication, subtraction, and division, denoted by the symbols +, or , –, and or /. Of these, addition and multiplication are ...

List of important publications in mathematics
This is a list of important publications in mathematics, organized by field.Some reasons why a particular publication might be regarded as important:Topic creator – A publication that created a new topicBreakthrough – A publication that changed scientific knowledge significantlyInfluence – A publication which has significantly influenced the world or has had a massive impact on the teaching of mathematics. Among published compilations of important publications in mathematics are Landmark writings in Western mathematics 1640–1940 by Ivor Grattan-Guinness and A Source Book in Mathematics by David Eugene Smith.
