Hadamard may refer to:

• Jacques Hadamard (1865–1963), a French mathematician, whose name is associated with the following topics in mathematics:

Differential geometry

• Hadamard space, a geodesically complete metric space of non-positive curvature
• Cartan-Hadamard theorem, a result on the topology of non-positively curved manifolds

Differential equations and dynamical systems

• Hadamard's method of descent, a method of solving partial differential equations by reducing dimensions
• Hadamard parametrix construction, a method of solving second order partial differential equations
• Hadamard's dynamical system, a type of chaotic dynamical system

Complex analysis and convexity

• Hadamard three-circle theorem, an inequality for complex analytic functions
• Hadamard factorization theorem, a method of factorizing an entire function
• Ostrowski–Hadamard gap theorem, a result on the analytic continuation of lacunary power series
• Hermite–Hadamard inequality, bounding the integral of convex functions.

Transform calculus

• Hadamard transform, an example of a generalized class of Fourier transforms
• Fast Walsh–Hadamard transform, an efficient algorithm to compute the Hadamard transform

Theory of matrices

• Hadamard matrix, a square matrix whose entries are either +1 or −1 and whose rows are mutually orthogonal
• Hadamard code, a system used for signal error detection and correction based on Hadamard matrices
• Hadamard's inequality, a bound on the determinants of matrices.
