2. Greater-than sign - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater-than_sign

   The greater-than sign is a mathematical symbol that denotes an inequality between two values. The widely adopted form of two equal-length strokes connecting in an acute angle at the right, >, has been found in documents dated as far back as 1631. [1] In mathematical writing, the greater-than sign is typically placed between two values being ...

3. Inequality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inequality_(mathematics)

   In mathematics, an inequality is a relation which makes a non-equal comparison between two numbers or other mathematical expressions. [1] It is used most often to compare two numbers on the number line by their size. The main types of inequality are less than and greater than .

4. Glossary of mathematical symbols - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_mathematical...

   Glossary of mathematical symbols. A mathematical symbol is a figure or a combination of figures that is used to represent a mathematical object, an action on mathematical objects, a relation between mathematical objects, or for structuring the other symbols that occur in a formula. As formulas are entirely constituted with symbols of various ...

5. Sign (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sign_(mathematics)

   This attribute of a number, being exclusively either zero (0), positive (+), or negative (−), is called its sign, and is often encoded to the real numbers 0, 1, and −1, respectively (similar to the way the sign function is defined). [1] Since rational and real numbers are also ordered rings (in fact ordered fields ), the sign attribute also ...

   integral sign. : colon (for division ) 1684 (deriving from use of colon to denote fractions, dating back to 1633) ·. middle dot (for multiplication ) 1698 (perhaps deriving from a much earlier use of middle dot to separate juxtaposed numbers) ⁄. division slash (a.k.a. solidus )

7. Mathematical operators and symbols in Unicode - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_operators_and...

   Mathematical operators and symbols are in multiple Unicode blocks. Some of these blocks are dedicated to, or primarily contain, mathematical characters while others are a mix of mathematical and non-mathematical characters. This article covers all Unicode characters with a derived property of "Math". [2] [3]

8. Order of operations - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

   Order of operations. In mathematics and computer programming, the order of operations is a collection of rules that reflect conventions about which operations to perform first in order to evaluate a given mathematical expression . These rules are formalized with a ranking of the operations. The rank of an operation is called its precedence, and ...

9. Real number - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_number

   Real number. In mathematics, a real number is a number that can be used to measure a continuous one- dimensional quantity such as a distance, duration or temperature. Here, continuous means that pairs of values can have arbitrarily small differences.
