Discrepancy (algebraic geometry)

In algebraic geometry, given a pair (X, D) consisting of a normal variety X and a -divisor D on X (e.g., canonical divisor), the discrepancy of the pair (X, D) measures the degree of the singularity of the pair. (Wikipedia).

Duality, polarity and projective linear algebra | Differential Geometry 10 | NJ Wildberger

Projective geometry is a fundamental subject in mathematics, which remarkably is little studied by undergraduates these days. But this situation is about to change---there are just too many places where a projective point of view illuminates mathematics. We will see that differential geome

How To Determine The Discriminant of a Quadratic Equation

This algebra video tutorial explains how to determine the discriminant of a quadratic equation. If the discriminant is greater than zero or positive, then there are 2 real solutions. If the discriminant is equal to zero, then there is one real solution. If the discriminant is negative o

Maxima and Minima for Quadratic and Cubics | Algebraic Calculus One | Wild Egg

Tangents of algebraic curves are best defined purely algebraically, without recourse to limiting arguments! We apply our techniques for finding such tangents to derive some familiar results for quadratic and cubic polynomial functions and their maxima and minima. We compare also with the c

Why Pythagorean scales can't be perfect: cycles of 5ths and 4ths | Maths and Music | N J Wildberger

We look at the relationships between octaves (2:1), perfect fifths (3:2) and perfect fourths (4:3) as the Pythagoreans envisioned musical intervals, and demonstrate on the piano why there is a fundamental mathematical discrepancy here. Arithmetically it comes down to the fact that a power
