definition in math terms
(Redirected from Term (mathematics)) In analogy to natural language, where a noun phrase refers to an object and a whole sentence refers to a fact, in mathematical logic, a term denotes a mathematical object and a formula denotes a mathematical fact. In particular, terms appear as components of a formula.
Mathematics may be defined as the study of relationships among quantities, magnitudes and properties, and also of the logical operations by which unknown quantities, magnitudes, and properties may be deduced (Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia) or the study of quantity, structure, space and change (Wikipedia).
