WordDefinition
gaussian primenoun(mathematics) A Gaussian integer a + bi such that either one of a, b is zero and the absolute value of the other is a prime number of the form 4n + 3 (with n a nonnegative integer); or both are nonzero and a² + b² is a prime number (which will never be of the form 4n + 3).
imaginary numbernoun(complex analysis, broad sense) A number of the form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers and b is nonzero.
imaginary partnoun(complex analysis) Of a complex number a + bi, where a and b are real numbers, the value b.
complex numbernoun(complex analysis) A number of the form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers and i denotes the imaginary unit.
affixnoun(linguistic morphology) A bound morpheme added to a word’s stem, such as a prefix or suffix.
gaussian functionnoun(mathematics) A function of the form f(x)=a· exp (-((x-b)²)/(2c²)) for arbitrary real-number constants a, b and non-zero c; used in statistics, signal processing, etc.
real partnoun(complex analysis) Of a complex number a + bi, the value a.
algebraic integernoun(algebra, number theory) A real or complex number (more generally, an element of a number field) which is a root of a monic polynomial whose coefficients are integers; equivalently, an algebraic number whose minimal polynomial (lowest-degree polynomial of which it is a root and whose leading coefficient is 1) has integer coefficients.

algebraic numbernoun(algebra, number theory) A complex number (more generally, an element of a number field) that is a root of a polynomial whose coefficients are integers; equivalently, a complex number (or element of a number field) that is a root of a monic polynomial whose coefficients are rational numbers.
jacobi symbolnoun(number theory) A mathematical function of integer a and odd positive integer b, generally written (a/b), based on, for each of the prime factors pᵢ of b, whether a is a quadratic residue or nonresidue modulo pᵢ.
gaussianizationnoun(mathematics) Conversion to Gaussian form.

imaginary unitnoun(number theory, complex analysis, quaternion theory) An imaginary number (in the case of complex numbers, usually denoted i) that is defined as a solution to the equation x²=-1.
absolute valuenoun(mathematics) For a complex number a+bi, the principal square root of the sum of the squares of its real and imaginary parts, √. Denoted by vertical bars |,|.
