AlgebraAlgebra is a branch of mathematics that uses symbols or letters to represent variables, values or numbers, which can then be used to express operations and relationships and to solve equations. |
Algebraic equationAlgebraic equation is a combination of numbers and letters equivalent to a sentence in language |
Algebraic expressionAlgebraic expression is a combination of numbers and letters equivalent to a phrase in language |
AlgorithmAlgorithm is a step by step procedure by which an operation can be carried out. |
Associative propertyAssociative property is a property (which applies both to multiplication and addition) by which numbers can be added or multiplied in any order and still yield the same value |
AsymptoteAsymptote is a line that the curve of a function tends towards as the independent variable of the curve approaches some limit (usually infinity) i.e. The distance between the curve and the line approaches zero. |
AxiomAxiom is a proposition that is not actually proved or demonstrated, but is considered to be self-evident and universally accepted as a starting point for deducing and inferring other truths and theorems, without any need of proof. |
Base nBase n is the number of unique digits (including zero) that a positional numeral system uses to represent numbers, e.g. Base 10 (decimal) uses 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 in each place value position; base 2 (binary) uses just 0 and 1; base 60 (sexagesimal, as used in ancient mesopotamia) uses all the numbers from 0 to 59; etc. |
BinomialBinomial is a polynomial algebraic expression or equation with just two terms |
CalculusCalculus is a branch of mathematics involving derivatives and integrals, used to study motion and changing values. |
