Not to be confused with the formation of si… deformation-theory× 73 The study of how mathematical objects (complex manifolds, associative algebras, Lie algebras) can be deformed into similar mathematical objects, at least infinitesimally. galois-representations× 72 Questions relating to the representations of the absolute Galois group $\mathrm{Gal}(\overline K/K)$ of a number field or of a local field. function-fields× 71 arc-length× 71 Given $t\in I$, the arc length of a regular parametrized curve $\alpha : I \rightarrow {\bf R}^3$, from the point $t_0$, is by definition $$s(t)=\int_{t_0}^t |\alpha'(t)| dt,$$ where |\alpha'(t)| … cauchy-principal-value× 71 Computation of Cauchy principal values of integrals. May be tied in with contour integration, but should be separate from definite-integrals. metric-geometry× 71 The study of geometry of manifolds without appealing to differential calculus. It includes studies of length spaces, Alexandrov spaces, and CAT(k) spaces. The techniques are often applicable to Rieman… integration-by-parts× 71 To be used when the technique of Integration By Parts is the dominant topic of the question. stokes-theorem× 71 a result about integration of differential forms. lagrange-interpolation× 70 A method of generating a polynomial that crosses through a set of data. The degree of this polynomial is equal to the size of the data. mobius-function× 70 Questions on the Möbius function μ(n), an arithmetic function used in number theory. profinite-groups× 70 For questions regarding profinite groups and their properties. fuzzy-logic× 70 a form of many-valued logic that deals with approximate, rather than fixed and exact reasoning.

The "hyperoperation" tag may be appropriate, too. quadratic-variation× 69 Questions on quadratic variations of stochastic processes. (Not to be confused with functions of bounded variation.) quantum-computation× 69 Quantum Computation deals with considering computation as fundamentally physical, as well as replacing the classical binary digit (bit) with the quantum binary digit (qubit). While the classical bit i… lie-derivative× 69 The Lie derivative gives a way to define the derivative of a tensor field in the direction of a vector field. groupoids× 69 A groupoid (in the sense of category theory) is a small category in which every morphism is an isomorphism. Groupoids arise throughout mathematics, e.g. in guise of fundamental groupoids in the theory… monomial-ideals× 68 mathematicians× 67 Questions about mathematicians and their lives. provability× 67 chemistry× 67 Questions related to mathematical chemistry which include application of mathematics to problems in chemistry and the development of mathematical methods suitable for such applications and for the for… centroid× 66 "The centroid or geometric center of a plane figure is the arithmetic mean ("average") position of all the points in the shape.
