Items

• member

  In mathematics, an element, or member, of a set is any one of the distinct objects that make up that set.
• minimum

  In mathematical analysis, the maxima and minima of a function, known collectively as extrema, are the largest and smallest value of the function, either within a given range or on the entire domain of a function
• minor arc

  A minor arc (left figure) is an arc of a circle having measure less than or equal to (radians). SEE ALSO: Arc, Major Arc, Semicircle.
• minor axis

  The major axis is the longest diameter and the minor axis the shortest. If they are equal in length, then the ellipse is a circle.
• minute

  There are 60 minutes in one degree.
• minutes (angle)

  The measurement of an angle in degrees, minutes and seconds would be, for example. It would be read as: an angle of degrees, minutes and seconds. Let's see the exact value of minutes and seconds. One minute is the result of taking a degree and dividing it into equal parts
• modulus (of a number)

  The remainder after a division operation (also known as modulo operation), or the absolute value of a number.
• monomial

  An algebraic expression consisting of one term.
• monotone function

  In mathematics, a monotonic function is a function between ordered sets that preserves or reverses the given order.
• monotone sequence

  If a sequence is either increasing or decreasing, we call it monotonic.
• multiple

  Multiples are what we get after multiplying the number by an integer.
• multiplication

  A binary operation in which the two entities, which can both be numbers, matrices, vectors etc. Or can be two entities of different types, are combined by a specified rule to form a product.
• multiplicity

  The multiplicity of a member of a multiset is the number of times it appears in the multiset. For example, the number of times a given polynomial equation has a root at a given point is the multiplicity of that root.
• mutually exclusive

  In logic and probability theory, two events are mutually exclusive or disjoint if they cannot both occur at the same time.
• natural exponential function

  The natural exponential function, is an increasing function with domain Rand range (0, ∞).
• natural logarithm

  The natural logarithm of a number is its logarithm to the base of the mathematical constant e, where e is an irrational and transcendental number approximately equal to 2.718281828459.
• natural numbers

  In mathematics, the natural numbers are those used for counting and ordering. In common mathematical terminology, words colloquially used for counting are "cardinal numbers" and words connected to ordering represent "ordinal numbers".
• negative

  A negative number is a real number that is less than zero. Negative numbers represent opposites. If positive represents a movement to the right, negative represents a movement to the left. If positive represents above sea level, then negative represents below sea level.
• negative direction

  The number line is usually drawn with positive numbers to the right, and negative numbers to the left: As a result, when discussing linear motion, displacement or velocity to the right is usually thought of as being positive, while similar motion to the left is thought of as being negative.
• nonagon

  Is a nine-sided polygon.
• non-negative number

  Nonnegative number. A number that is either 0 or positive.
• non-zero

  As quantity which does not equal zero is said to be nonzero.
• norm

  A norm is a function that assigns a strictly positive length or size to each vector in a vector space—except for the zero vector, which is assigned a length of zero.
• normal

  A normal is an object such as a line or vector that is perpendicular to a given object. For example, in the two-dimensional case, the normal line to a curve at a given point is the line perpendicular to the tangent line to the curve at the point.
• normal line

  The normal line is defined as the line that is perpendicular to the tangent line at the point of tangency. Because the slopes of perpendicular lines (neither of which is vertical) are negative reciprocals of one another, the slope of the normal line to the graph of f(x) is −1 / f′(x).
