n
The quality of being mathematical.
n
(Canada, US) The act of performing quick mathematics often as a means of estimation, as if done on the back of a napkin (or in one's head).
adj
(mathematics) Of a number: less than zero
n
(mathematics, obsolete) A term in an algebraic expression.
adj
(mathematics) Of or pertaining to an operator
n
(set theory) The cardinality, or number of elements in a set, group, or other structure regardable as a set.
n
A value kept constant during an experiment, equation, calculation, or similar, but varied over other versions of the experiment, equation, calculation, etc.
n
(statistics) A unit, derived from a standard distribution, used in measuring the responses to doses
adj
(mathematics) At a constant ratio (to). Two magnitudes (numbers) are said to be proportional if the second varies in a direct relation arithmetically to the first. Symbol: ∝.
n
(mathematics) An approximation where the error of approximation is greater than ε because calculation of a true approximation is not feasible.
n
(mathematics, statistics) A number added to a number of observations so as to change a generated probability to one obtained by prior knowledge.
n
(mathematics) Indicates that the entire preceding expression is henceforth considered a single object.
n
(statistics) The length of the smallest interval which contains all the data in a sample; the difference between the largest and smallest observations in the sample.
v
(transitive, statistics) To apply the Rao–Blackwell theorem to an estimator.
n
(arithmetic) The relative magnitudes of two quantities (usually expressed as a quotient).
adj
(mathematics) Fulfilling a relation.
n
(mathematics) The absolute value of the ratio of the absolute error to the actual value.
adj

adj
(computer science) Consisting of a single value (e.g. integer or string) rather than multiple values (e.g. array).
n
(statistics) The symbol σ, used to indicate one standard deviation from the mean, particularly in a normal distribution.
