Mathematics

Items

• inner product

  An operation that combines two vectors to form a scalar.
• inscribe

  Draw (a figure) within another so that their boundaries touch but do not intersect.
• instantaneous acceleration

  Instantaneous acceleration is the acceleration of an object at a specific moment of time.
• instantaneous speed

  When the speed of an object is constantly changing, the instantaneous speed is the speed of an object at a particular moment (instant) in time.
• instantaneous velocity

  Instantaneous velocity is the velocity of an object in motion at a specific point in time
• integer

  Is a whole number (not a fractional number) that can be positive, negative, or zero
• integral (see anti-derivative)

  A function of which a given function is the derivative, i.e. Which yields that function when differentiated, and which may express the area under the curve of a graph of the function
• integral test

  In mathematics, the integral test for convergence is a method used to test infinite series of non-negative terms for convergence
• integrand

  A function that is to be integrated.
• integration (see anti-differentiation)

  The process of finding an integral or integrals.
• integration by parts

  Integration by parts or partial integration is a process that finds the integral of a product of functions in terms of the integral of their derivative and antiderivative
• integration formula

  The algebraic method to find the integral for a function at any point on the graph.
• intercept

  Every straight line can be represented by an equation: y = mx + b. The equation of any straight line, called a linear equation, can be written as: y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept of this line is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis.
• intermediate-value theorem

  In mathematical analysis, the intermediate value theorem states that if a continuous function, f, with an interval, [a, b], as its domain, takes values f and f at each end of the interval, then it also takes any value between f and f at some point within the interval.
• interpolating

  In the mathematical field of numerical analysis, interpolation is a method of constructing new data points within the range of a discrete set of known data points.
• interpolation

  In the mathematical field of numerical analysis, interpolation is a method of constructing new data points within the range of a discrete set of known data points.
• intersection

  In mathematics, the intersection A ∩ B of two sets A and B is the set that contains all elements of A that also belong to B (or equivalently, all elements of B that also belong to A), but no other elements. For explanation of the symbols used in this article, refer to the table of mathematical symbols.
• interval

  A (real) interval is a set of real numbers with the property that any number that lies between two numbers in the set is also included in the set
• interval of convergence

  The interval of convergence is the set of all values of x for which a power series converges.
• inverse

  A reciprocal quantity, mathematical expression, geometric figure, etc. Which is the result of inversion.
• inverse function

  An inverse function is a function that undoes the action of another function
• inverse proportion

  A relationship between two variables in which the product is a constant. When one variable increases the other decreases in proportion so that the product is unchanged. If b is inversely proportional to a, the equation is of the form b = k / a (where k is a constant).
• invertible

  If y = f (x), then the inverse relation is written as y = f-1 (x). If the inverse is also a function, then we say that the function f is invertible
• invertible function

  This means that the only values allowed within the domain are those that have a unique one-to-one mapping with a value in the range.
• irrational number

  In mathematics, the irrational numbers are all the real numbers which not rational numbers are, the latter being the numbers constructed from ratios of integers.
