Jordan's Totient Function
In number theory, Jordan's totient function, denoted as J_k(n), where k is a positive integer, is a function of a positive integer, n, that equals the number of k-tuples of positive integers that are less than or equal to n and that together with n form a coprime set of k+1 integers. Jordan's totient function is a generalization of Euler's totient function, which is the same as J_1(n). The function is named after Camille Jordan. Definition For each positive integer k, Jordan's totient function J_k is multiplicative and may be evaluated as :J_k(n)=n^k \prod_\left(1-\frac\right) \,, where p ranges through the prime divisors of n. Properties * \sum_ J_k(d) = n^k. \, :which may be written in the language of Dirichlet convolutions as :: J_k(n) \star 1 = n^k\, :and via Möbius inversion as ::J_k(n) = \mu(n) \star n^k. :Since the Dirichlet generating function of \mu is 1/\zeta(s) and the Dirichlet generating function of n^k is \zeta(s-k), the series for J_k becomes ::\sum_\frac = ...

Number Theory
Number theory is a branch of pure mathematics devoted primarily to the study of the integers and arithmetic functions. Number theorists study prime numbers as well as the properties of mathematical objects constructed from integers (for example, rational numbers), or defined as generalizations of the integers (for example, algebraic integers). Integers can be considered either in themselves or as solutions to equations (Diophantine geometry). Questions in number theory can often be understood through the study of Complex analysis, analytical objects, such as the Riemann zeta function, that encode properties of the integers, primes or other number-theoretic objects in some fashion (analytic number theory). One may also study real numbers in relation to rational numbers, as for instance how irrational numbers can be approximated by fractions (Diophantine approximation). Number theory is one of the oldest branches of mathematics alongside geometry. One quirk of number theory is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |
General Linear Group
In mathematics, the general linear group of degree n is the set of n\times n invertible matrices, together with the operation of ordinary matrix multiplication. This forms a group, because the product of two invertible matrices is again invertible, and the inverse of an invertible matrix is invertible, with the identity matrix as the identity element of the group. The group is so named because the columns (and also the rows) of an invertible matrix are linearly independent, hence the vectors/points they define are in general linear position, and matrices in the general linear group take points in general linear position to points in general linear position. To be more precise, it is necessary to specify what kind of objects may appear in the entries of the matrix. For example, the general linear group over \R (the set of real numbers) is the group of n\times n invertible matrices of real numbers, and is denoted by \operatorname_n(\R) or \operatorname(n,\R).

Graduate Texts In Mathematics
Graduate Texts in Mathematics (GTM) () is a series of graduate-level textbooks in mathematics published by Springer-Verlag. The books in this series, like the other Springer-Verlag mathematics series, are yellow books of a standard size (with variable numbers of pages). The GTM series is easily identified by a white band at the top of the book. The books in this series tend to be written at a more advanced level than the similar Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics series, although there is a fair amount of overlap between the two series in terms of material covered and difficulty level. List of books #''Introduction to Axiomatic Set Theory'', Gaisi Takeuti, Wilson M. Zaring (1982, 2nd ed., ) #''Measure and Category – A Survey of the Analogies between Topological and Measure Spaces'', John C. Oxtoby (1980, 2nd ed., ) #''Topological Vector Spaces'', H. H.

Chelsea Publishing
The Chelsea Publishing Company was a publisher of mathematical books, based in New York City New York, often called New York City (NYC), is the most populous city in the United States, located at the southern tip of New York State on one of the world's largest natural harbors. The city comprises five boroughs, each coextensive w ..., founded in 1944 by Aaron Galuten while he was still a graduate student at Columbia. Its initial focus was to republish important European works that were unavailable in the United States because of wartime restrictions, such as Hausdorff's Mengenlehre, or because the works were out of print. This soon expanded to include translations of such works into English, as well as original works by American authors. As of 1985, the company's catalog included more than 200 titles. After Galuten's death in 1994, the company was acquired in 1997 by the AMS, which continues to publish a portion of the company's original catalog under the AMS Chelse ...

History Of The Theory Of Numbers
''History of the Theory of Numbers'' is a three-volume work by Leonard Eugene Dickson summarizing work in number theory up to about 1920. The style is unusual in that Dickson mostly just lists results by various authors, with little further discussion. The central topic of quadratic reciprocity and higher reciprocity laws is barely mentioned; this was apparently going to be the topic of a fourth volume that was never written . Volumes * Volume 1 - Divisibility In mathematics, a divisor of an integer n, also called a factor of n, is an integer m that may be multiplied by some integer to produce n.

OEIS
The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS) is an online database of integer sequences. It was created and maintained by Neil Sloane while researching at AT&T Labs. He transferred the intellectual property and hosting of the OEIS to the OEIS Foundation in 2009, and is its chairman. OEIS records information on integer sequences of interest to both professional and amateur mathematicians, and is widely cited. , it contains over 370,000 sequences, and is growing by approximately 30 entries per day. Each entry contains the leading terms of the sequence, keywords, mathematical motivations, literature links, and more, including the option to generate a graph or play a musical representation of the sequence. The database is searchable by keyword, by subsequence, or by any of 16 fields. There is also an advanced search function called SuperSeeker which runs a large number of different algorithms to identify sequences related to the input. History Neil Sloane started coll ...

Symplectic Group
In mathematics, the name symplectic group can refer to two different, but closely related, collections of mathematical groups, denoted and for positive integer ''n'' and field F (usually C or R). The latter is called the compact symplectic group and is also denoted by \mathrm(n). Many authors prefer slightly different notations, usually differing by factors of . The notation used here is consistent with the size of the most common matrices which represent the groups. In Cartan's classification of the simple Lie algebras, the Lie algebra of the complex group is denoted , and is the compact real form of . Note that when we refer to ''the'' (compact) symplectic group it is implied that we are talking about the collection of (compact) symplectic groups, indexed by their dimension . The name " symplectic group" was coined by Hermann Weyl as a replacement for the previous confusing names (line) complex group and Abelian linear group, and is the Greek analog of "complex". The ...

Special Linear Group
In mathematics, the special linear group \operatorname(n,R) of degree n over a commutative ring R is the set of n\times n Matrix (mathematics), matrices with determinant 1, with the group operations of ordinary matrix multiplication and matrix inversion. This is the normal subgroup of the general linear group given by the kernel (algebra), kernel of the determinant :\det\colon \operatorname(n, R) \to R^\times. where R^\times is the multiplicative group of R (that is, R excluding 0 when R is a field). These elements are "special" in that they form an Algebraic variety, algebraic subvariety of the general linear group – they satisfy a polynomial equation (since the determinant is polynomial in the entries). When R is the finite field of order q, the notation \operatorname(n,q) is sometimes used. Geometric interpretation The special linear group \operatorname(n,\R) can be characterized as the group of ''volume and orientation (mathematics), orientation preserving'' linear tra ...

External Links
An internal link is a type of hyperlink on a web page to another page or resource, such as an image or document, on the same website or domain. It is the opposite of an external link, a link that directs a user to content that is outside its domain. Hyperlinks are considered either "external" or "internal" depending on their target or destination. Generally, a link to a page outside the same domain or website is considered external, whereas one that points at another section of the same web page or to another page of the same website or domain is considered internal. Both internal and external links allow users of the website to navigate to another web page or resource. These definitions become clouded, however, when the same organization operates multiple domains functioning as a single web experience, e.g. when a secure commerce website is used for purchasing things displayed on a non-secure website. In these cases, links that are "external" by the above definition can conce ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |
Dedekind Psi Function
In number theory, the Dedekind psi function is the multiplicative function on the positive integers defined by : \psi(n) = n \prod_\left(1+\frac\right), where the product is taken over all primes p dividing n. (By convention, \psi(1), which is the empty product, has value 1.) The function was introduced by Richard Dedekind in connection with modular functions. The value of \psi(n) for the first few integers n is: :1, 3, 4, 6, 6, 12, 8, 12, 12, 18, 12, 24, ... . The function \psi(n) is greater than n for all n greater than 1, and is even for all n greater than 2. If n is a square-free number then \psi(n) = \sigma(n), where \sigma(n) is the sum-of-divisors function. The \psi function can also be defined by setting \psi(p^n) = (p+1)p^ for powers of any prime p, and then extending the definition to all integers by multiplicativity. This also leads to a proof of the generating function in terms of the Riemann zeta function, which is :\sum \frac = \frac. This is also a conseque ...

Positive Integer
In mathematics, the natural numbers are the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on, possibly excluding 0. Some start counting with 0, defining the natural numbers as the non-negative integers , while others start with 1, defining them as the positive integers Some authors acknowledge both definitions whenever convenient. Sometimes, the whole numbers are the natural numbers as well as zero. In other cases, the ''whole numbers'' refer to all of the integers, including negative integers. The counting numbers are another term for the natural numbers, particularly in primary education, and are ambiguous as well although typically start at 1. The natural numbers are used for counting things, like "there are ''six'' coins on the table", in which case they are called ''cardinal numbers''. They are also used to put things in order, like "this is the ''third'' largest city in the country", which are called ''ordinal numbers''. Natural numbers are also used as labels, like jersey numbers on a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |
