Algebraic geometry quiz: 3 questions
Three questions on the Algebraic geometry card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.
Find the missing word
Classically, it studies zeros of ______ polynomials, the modern approach generalizes this in a few different aspects.
Answer
multivariate. Classically, it studies zeros of multivariate polynomials, the modern approach generalizes this in a few different aspects. From the Algebraic geometry article on Wikipedia.
Which of these cards hits hardest (highest ATK)?
Answer
Lambda calculus. Lambda calculus 82 · Algebraic geometry 79 · Electronics 71 · Chemical engineering 67 ATK in WikiCards.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Classically, it studies zeros of multivariate polynomials, the modern approach generalizes this in a few different aspects.
- The fundamental objects of study in algebraic geometry are algebraic varieties, which are geometric manifestations of solutions of systems of polynomial equations.
- Examples of the most studied classes of algebraic varieties are lines, circles, parabolas, ellipses, hyperbolas, cubic curves like elliptic curves, and quartic curves like lemniscates and Cassini ovals.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Algebraic geometry article was read about 110,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 79 and blocks with 57: each hit it takes is cut by 23 %.
How to get Algebraic geometry
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
