Tags

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Using the right tags makes it easier for others to find and answer your question.

Consider first if (elementary-number-theory) might be a more appropriate tag before adding this tag. functional-analysis× 7687 the study of infinite-dimensional vector spaces, often with additional structures (inner product, norm, topology), with typical examples given by function spaces. The subject al… elementary-number-theory× 6811 Questions on congruences, linear diophantine equations, greatest common divisor, divisibility, etc. statistics× 6403 the study of statistics from a mathematical standpoint, using probability theory as well as other branches of mathematics such as linear algebra and analysis. differential-equations× 6278 Questions on (ordinary) differential equations.
