Every submodule of a finite-rank free module over a principal ideal domain is free. Induction on rank splits off a generator of the image under one coordinate projection and applies the result to the kernel.

If distinct points on a smooth projective curve satisfy , then is a finite morphism of degree one. Such a morphism between smooth projective curves is an isomorphism, so has genus zero. Hence no divisor on a curve of positive genus is principal.
Every degree-zero divisor on the projective line is principal. Indeed, if and is a homogeneous linear form vanishing at , then makesa degree-zero rational function with . Consequently, two divisors on are linearly equivalent exactly when they have the same degree.
Over a UFD, products of primitive polynomials are primitive and factorization over the fraction field descends after content is removed.
The Möbius function stays far in pretentious distance from every Archimedean character. One useful uniform form isThis follows by estimating the prime sum .
Halász's theorem bounds the mean of a bounded multiplicative arithmetic function in terms of its least pretentious distance from an Archimedean character. A large mean can occur only when this distance is small.
An Archimedean character on the positive integers is the completely multiplicative function for a real parameter .
The pretentious distance obeys

For , equilibrium outer radius , and a bubble gas obeying , the linearization isThe bubble therefore undergoes simple harmonic motion with
Order source probabilities as , putand take the first binary digits of as the codeword for symbol . Since for , two cumulative probabilities cannot lie in the same dyadic interval selected by the earlier codeword. The resulting code is prefix-free.
Shannon-Fano coding comprises two related prefix code constructions. Shannon coding assigns lengths to symbols of probability ; Fano coding recursively partitions the ordered symbols into groups of nearly equal total probability and assigns a bit at each partition.

For a single traveling vacuum plane electromagnetic wave, gives equal electric and magnetic contributions to electromagnetic energy:For the fields with linear polarization along and magnetic orientation along specified above,Angle brackets mean an average over one period at fixed position. The factor comes from averaging squared cosine; is the peak amplitude, whereas the root mean square field is . The equal energy contributions oscillate together, rather than trading energy as in an RLC circuit. [ref]

.Suppose an analytic function near is not identically zero there. Its Taylor series has a first nonzero coefficient , andThe term is its leading Taylor term. Dividing by gives a limit of as , so this term determines the leading local magnitude and angular behaviour. The remainder uses big O notation; it is smaller by one power near the centre.
For a real-valued analytic function of a real variable, an even integer gives the same nearby sign on both sides of , while an odd integer gives opposite signs. For example, has leading Taylor term and is positive on both sides of zero sufficiently nearby; has leading Taylor term and changes sign there. The finite factor stays positive for . The ordinary constant term is the leading one when .
