Definition

First 1. “ Absolute Value : The distance a number is from zero on the number line. For example, -5 is 5 units away from zero. It would be written as |-5|” 2. “In probability, an event is an occurrence or the possibility of an occurrence that is being investigated ” 3. “A function f of a variable x is a rule that assigns to each number x in the function's domain a single number f(x). The word "single" in this definition is very important” 4. “ Fractal : Term coined by Benoit Mandelbrot in 1975, referring to objects built using recursion, where some aspect of the limiting object is infinite and another is finite, and where at any iteration, some piece of the object is a scaled down version of the previous iteration ” 5. “ Isosceles Triangle : A triangle that has at least two congruent sides ” 6. “ Linear Function : A function of the form f(x) = mx + b where m and b are some fixed numbers. The names "m" and "b" are traditional. Functions of this kind are called "linear" because their graphs are straight lines 7. “ Algorithm : Step-by-step procedure by which an operation can be carried out ” 8. “ Ratio : A rational number of the form a/b where a is called the numerator and b is called the denominator” 9. “In mathematics, superscripts are numbers or letters written above and to the right of other numbers or letters or symbols indicating how many times the latter is to be used as a factor. When typing, one can represent a superscript by using the ^ symbol to indicate raising the number. For example, x3 is the same as x^3, which equals x * x * x” 10. “A set is a collection of things, without regard to their order ”

1. In mathematics, a number n is said to divide another number m __iff__ there exists a number q so that n*q=m. We write n|m. 2. A prime number is a number greater than 1 that is only divided by 1 and itself. 3. A number n is said to be a pair number if it is divided by 2. 4. In mathematics, an operator º is said to be symmetric iff aºb=bºa. 5. The infimum of a set is the greatest of the lower bounds of the set.
