Property (mathematics)

In mathematics, a property is any characteristic that applies to a given set. Rigorously, a property p defined for all elements of a set X is usually defined as a function p: X → {true, false}, that is true whenever the property holds; or equivalently, as the subset of X for which p holds; i.e. the set {x | p(x) = true}; p is its indicator function. However, it may be objected that the rigorous definition defines merely the extension of a property, and says nothing about what causes the property to hold for exactly those values. Examples of properties include: Parity is the property of an integer of whether it is even or odd. There is the commutative property of real and complex numbers and the distributive property.

The Distributive Property for Arithmetic

We know about the commutative property and the associative property, but there are more to learn! This next one, the distributive property, is very important in algebra, so let's introduce it now so that when we get there we already have this covered. Watch the whole Mathematics playlist:

The problem with `functions' | Arithmetic and Geometry Math Foundations 42a

[First of two parts] Here we address a core logical problem with modern mathematics--the usual definition of a `function' does not contain precise enough bounds on the nature of the rules or procedures (or computer programs) allowed. Here we discuss the difficulty in the context of funct

Teach Astronomy - Symmetry

http://www.teachastronomy.com/ A lot of fundamental concepts in physics are based on the idea of symmetry. Symmetry is familiar to us in an aesthetic sense. It often means things that have pleasing proportion, or look the same from every direction, or have a harmonious nature about them.

Max Tegmark - Is Mathematics Eternal?

Mathematics is like nothing else. The truths of math seem to be unrelated to anything else—independent of human beings, independent of the universe. The sum of 2 + 3 = 5 cannot be untrue; this means that 2 + 3 = 5 would be true even if there were never any human beings, even if there were
