  2. Degree of a polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_of_a_polynomial

    The degree of the sum (or difference) of two polynomials is less than or equal to the greater of their degrees; that is, and . For example, the degree of is 2, and 2 ≤ max {3, 3}. The equality always holds when the degrees of the polynomials are different. For example, the degree of is 3, and 3 = max {3, 2}.

  3. British undergraduate degree classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_undergraduate...

    The upper division is commonly abbreviated to "2:1" or "II.i" (pronounced two-one). The 2:1 is a minimum requirement for entry to many postgraduate courses in the UK. It is also required for the award of a research council postgraduate studentship in the UK, although a combination of qualifications and experience equal to a 2:1 is also acceptable.

    It equals 6°, so a whole turn was divided into 60 hexacontades. pechus: 144 to 180: 2° to ⁠2 + 1 / 2 ⁠ ° The pechus was a Babylonian unit equal to about 2° or ⁠2 + 1 / 2 ⁠ °. diameter part: ≈376.991: ≈0.95493° The diameter part (occasionally used in Islamic mathematics) is ⁠ 1 / 60 ⁠ radian. One "diameter part" is ...

  5. Degree (angle) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_(angle)

    10. A degree (in full, a degree of arc, arc degree, or arcdegree ), usually denoted by ° (the degree symbol ), is a measurement of a plane angle in which one full rotation is 360 degrees. [ 4] It is not an SI unit —the SI unit of angular measure is the radian —but it is mentioned in the SI brochure as an accepted unit. [ 5]

    If the degree is less than 2, this may be called a "degenerate case". Usually the context will establish which of the two is meant. Sometimes the word "order" is used with the meaning of "degree", e.g. a second-order polynomial. However, where the "degree of a polynomial" refers to the largest degree of a non-zero term of the polynomial, more ...

  7. Quadratic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_equation

    Because (a + 1) 2 = a, a + 1 is the unique solution of the quadratic equation x 2 + a = 0. On the other hand, the polynomial x 2 + ax + 1 is irreducible over F 4, but it splits over F 16, where it has the two roots ab and ab + a, where b is a root of x 2 + x + a in F 16. This is a special case of Artin–Schreier theory.

  8. Radian - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radian

    A similar calculation using the area of a circular sector θ = 2A/r 2 gives 1 SI radian as 1 m 2 /m 2 = 1. [10] The key fact is that the SI radian is a dimensionless unit equal to 1. In SI 2019, the SI radian is defined accordingly as 1 rad = 1. [11] It is a long-established practice in mathematics and across all areas of science to make use of ...

    A minute of arc is ⁠π 10 800⁠ of a radian . A second of arc, arcsecond (arcsec), or arc second, denoted by the symbol ″, [ 2] is ⁠ 1 60 ⁠ of an arcminute, ⁠ 1 3600⁠ of a degree, [ 1] ⁠ 1 1 296 000⁠ of a turn, and ⁠π 648 000⁠ (about ⁠ 1 206 264.8⁠) of a radian. These units originated in Babylonian astronomy as ...
