  2. Less-than sign - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Less-than_sign

    The less-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 left, <, has been found in documents dated as far back as the 1560s.

  3. Inequality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Later in 1734, ≦ and ≧, known as "less than (greater-than) over equal to" or "less than (greater than) or equal to with double horizontal bars", first appeared in Pierre Bouguer's work . [3] After that, mathematicians simplified Bouguer's symbol to "less than (greater than) or equal to with one horizontal bar" (≤), or "less than (greater ...

  4. ≤ - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E2%89%A4

    Inequality (mathematics), relation between values; a ≤ b means "a is less than or equal to b" Subgroup , a subset of a given group in group theory; H ≤ G is read as " H is a subgroup of G " Topics referred to by the same term

  5. Relation (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    As an example, "is less than" is a relation on the set of natural numbers; it holds, for instance, between the values 1 and 3 (denoted as 1 < 3), and likewise between 3 and 4 (denoted as 3 < 4), but not between the values 3 and 1 nor between 4 and 4, that is, 3 < 1 and 4 < 4 both evaluate to false.

  6. Linear inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_inequality

    < less than > greater than; ≤ less than or equal to; ≥ greater than or equal to; ≠ not equal to; A linear inequality looks exactly like a linear equation, with the inequality sign replacing the equality sign.

  7. Interval (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    All numbers greater than x and less than x + a fall within that open interval. In mathematics , a real interval is the set of all real numbers lying between two fixed endpoints with no "gaps". Each endpoint is either a real number or positive or negative infinity , indicating the interval extends without a bound .

    1. Means "less than or equal to". That is, whatever A and B are, A ≤ B is equivalent to A < B or A = B. 2. Between two groups, may mean that the first one is a subgroup of the second one. ≥ 1. Means "greater than or equal to". That is, whatever A and B are, A ≥ B is equivalent to A > B or A = B. 2.

  9. Upper and lower bounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_and_lower_bounds

    In mathematics, particularly in order theory, an upper bound or majorant [1] of a subset S of some preordered set (K, ≤) is an element of K that is greater than or equal to every element of S. [2] [3] Dually, a lower bound or minorant of S is defined to be an element of K that is less than or equal to every element of S.
