Certainly! Here are explanations for some fundamental math terms:
1. **Number:** A mathematical object used to count, measure, and label.
Examples include integers (whole numbers), fractions, and decimals.
2. **Variable:** A symbol (often a letter) that represents an unknown or
changing quantity in mathematical expressions or equations.
3. **Equation:** A mathematical statement that asserts the equality of two
expressions, typically separated by an equals sign.
4. **Function:** A relation between a set of inputs (domain) and a set of
possible outputs (range), where each input is related to exactly one output.
5. **Fraction:** A representation of a part of a whole, expressed as a ratio of
two numbers (numerator over denominator).
6. **Derivative:** A measure of how a function changes as its input changes,
often interpreted as the slope of the tangent line to a curve.
7. **Integral:** A mathematical concept representing the accumulation or
summation of quantities, often interpreted as the area under a curve.
8. **Geometry:** The branch of mathematics dealing with the properties,
measurement, and relationships of points, lines, angles, surfaces, and solids.
9. **Algebra:** A branch of mathematics that deals with symbols and the
rules for manipulating those symbols to solve equations and understand
relationships.
