  1. 2. algebra or logic: a type of algebra which can be applied to the solution of logical problems and mathematical functions, in which the variables are logical rather than numerical, and in which the only operators are AND, OR and NOT
  2. 5. curve: the shape of the graph that indicates a normal distribution in probability and statistics
  3. 6. equation: a combination of numbers and letters equivalent to a sentence in language, e.g. y = x2 + 3x - 4
  4. 7. function: A function based on an infinite series of reciprocals of exponents (Riemann’s zeta function is the extension of Euler’s simple zeta function into the domain of complex numbers)
  5. 8. a step by step procedure by which an operation can be carried out

  1. 1. set theory: the standard form of set theory and the most common foundation of modern mathematics, based on a list of nine axioms (usually modified by a tenth, the axiom of choice) about what kinds of sets exist, commonly abbreviated together as ZFC
  2. 3. algebra:the area of modern mathematics that considers algebraic structures to be sets with operations defined on them, and extends algebraic concepts usually associated with the real number system to other more general systems, such as groups, rings, fields, modules and vector spaces
  3. 4. a branch of mathematics that uses symbols or letters to represent variables, values or numbers, which can then be used to express operations and relationships and to solve equations
