Mathematics terms
mathematics -
a science (or group of related sciences) dealing with the logic of quantity and shape and arrangement.
≡math, maths
↔rounding, rounding error - (mathematics)
a miscalculation that results from rounding off numbers to a convenient number of decimals; "the error in the calculation was attributable to rounding"; "taxes are rounded off to the nearest dollar but the rounding error is surprisingly small".
↔truncation error - (mathematics)
a miscalculation that results from cutting off a numerical calculation before it is finished.
↔mathematical operation, mathematical process, operation - (mathematics)
calculation by mathematical methods; "the problems at the end of the chapter demonstrated the mathematical processes involved in the derivation"; "they were learning the basic operations of arithmetic".
↔rationalisation, rationalization - (mathematics)
the simplification of an expression or equation by eliminating radicals without changing the value of the expression or the roots of the equation.
↔invariance -
the nature of a quantity or property or function that remains unchanged when a given transformation is applied to it; "the invariance of the configuration under translation".
↔accuracy - (mathematics)
the number of significant figures given in a number; "the atomic clock enabled scientists to measure time with much greater accuracy".
↔symmetricalness, symmetry, correspondence, balance - (mathematics)
an attribute of a shape or relation; exact reflection of form on opposite sides of a dividing line or plane.
↔asymmetry, dissymmetry, imbalance - (mathematics)
a lack of symmetry.
↔factoring, factorisation, factorization - (mathematics)
the resolution of an entity into factors such that when multiplied together they give the original entity.
↔extrapolation - (mathematics)
calculation of the value of a function outside the range of known values.
↔interpolation - (mathematics)
calculation of the value of a function between the values already known.
↔formula, rule - (mathematics)
a standard procedure for solving a class of mathematical problems; "he determined the upper bound with Descartes' rule of signs"; "he gave us a general formula for attacking polynomials".
↔recursion - (mathematics)
an expression such that each term is generated by repeating a particular mathematical operation.
↔invariant -
a feature (quantity or property or function) that remains unchanged when a particular transformation is applied to it
↔multinomial, polynomial - a mathematical function that is the sum of a number of terms.
↔series - (mathematics)
the sum of a finite or infinite sequence of expressions.
↔infinitesimal - (mathematics)
a variable that has zero as its limit.
↔fractal - (mathematics)
a geometric pattern that is repeated at every scale and so cannot be represented by classical geometry.
↔science, scientific discipline -
a particular branch of scientific knowledge; "the science of genetics".
↔pure mathematics -
the branches of mathematics that study and develop the principles of mathematics for their own sake rather than for their immediate usefulness.
↔arithmetic -
the branch of pure mathematics dealing with the theory of numerical calculations.
↔geometry -
the pure mathematics of points and lines and curves and surfaces.
↔affine geometry -
the geometry of affine transformations.
↔elementary geometry, Euclidean geometry, parabolic geometry - (mathematics)
geometry based on Euclid's axioms.
↔Euclidean axiom, Euclid's axiom, Euclid's postulate - (mathematics)
any of five axioms that are generally recognized as the basis for Euclidean geometry.
↔fractal geometry - (mathematics)
the geometry of fractals; "Benoit Mandelbrot pioneered fractal geometry".
↔non-Euclidean geometry - (mathematics)
geometry based on axioms different from Euclid's; "non-Euclidean geometries discard or replace one or more of the Euclidean axioms".
↔hyperbolic geometry - (mathematics)
a non-Euclidean geometry in which the parallel axiom is replaced by the assumption that through any point in a plane there are two or more lines that do not intersect a given line in the plane; "Karl Gauss pioneered hyperbolic geometry".
↔elliptic geometry, Riemannian geometry - (mathematics)
a non-Euclidean geometry that regards space as like a sphere and a line as like a great circle; "Bernhard Riemann pioneered elliptic geometry".
↔numerical analysis - (mathematics)
the branch of mathematics that studies algorithms for approximating solutions to problems in the infinitesimal calculus.
↔spherical geometry - (mathematics)
the geometry of figures on the surface of a sphere.
↔spherical trigonometry - (mathematics)
the trigonometry of spherical triangles.
↔analytic geometry, analytical geometry, coordinate geometry -
the use of algebra to study geometric properties; operates on symbols defined in a coordinate system.
↔plane geometry -
the geometry of 2-dimensional figures.
↔solid geometry -
the geometry of 3-dimensional space.
