The World of Mathematics: Mathematical Objects

number
class
(unordered collection of objects, mathematical or not)
  • set
  • An arrangement of mathematical(!) objects (possible: several occurances of the same object):

    finite:
    matrix
  • vector, tuple, ...
  • infinite:
    sequence
    -> represented by mappings

    On one set or between two sets: connects objects pair-wise (possible: same object can be connected multiply):

    graph
  • directed - cf. relation
  • labeled, ...
  • relation
  • order, equivalence, ...
  • congruence (equivalence on algebra's set unseparable by algebra's operations)
  • mapping/function
    (maps objects in set A to objects in set B)
  • injection, surjection, bijection, ...
  • continuous, ...
  • functor (between the objects and arrows of two categories)
  • -> represented by tuple sets

    A family of math.(?) objects ('arrows', 'morphisms') connecting a group of math.(?) objects ('objects'):

    closed under combinator o (kind of transitive):
    category
  • function-composition closure of an algebra
  • some categories of relations [>]
  • some categories of algebras [>]
  • set(s) with operations:
    algebra
    (family of functions, 'operations', on one set, or between/on several sets)

    geometrical object
  • 2-d: point, line, triangle, square, polygon, circle, ellipse, segment, ...
  • 3-d: cube, cylinder, ...
  • space
  • metric, Hilbert, ...
  •  
    Related symbolic objects:
    formula

    (as in "symbolic" integration)
  • polynomes, (in)equations, eq. systems
  • signature
    (groups of function symbols and set symbols)
