sandwich theorem
Mathematics; Calculus
A theorem which allows the computation of the limit of an expression by trapping the expression between two other expressions which have limits that are easier to compute.
improper fraction
Mathematics; Calculus
A fraction in which the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator, such as 3/2.
instantaneous velocity
Mathematics; Calculus
One way of interpreting the derivative of a function s(t ) is to understand it as the velocity at a given moment t of an object whose position is given by the function s(t ).
instantaneous rate of change
Mathematics; Calculus
One way of interpreting the derivative of a function is to understand it as the instantaneous rate of change of that function, the limit of the average rates of change between a fixed point and other ...
empty set
Mathematics; Calculus
A set that has no members. A set consisting of the number 0 is not empty because it has one member.
axis of rotation
Mathematics; Calculus
A line about which a plane figure rotates in three dimensional space to create a solid or surface.
