2. Rational function - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_function

   In mathematics, a rational function is any function that can be defined by a rational fraction, which is an algebraic fraction such that both the numerator and the denominator are polynomials. The coefficients of the polynomials need not be rational numbers ; they may be taken in any field K .

3. List of mathematical functions - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_functions

   In mathematics, some functions or groups of functions are important enough to deserve their own names. This is a listing of articles which explain some of these functions in more detail. There is a large theory of special functions which developed out of statistics and mathematical physics.

4. Function (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

   The above definition of a function is essentially that of the founders of calculus, Leibniz, Newton and Euler. However, it cannot be formalized, since there is no mathematical definition of an "assignment". It is only at the end of the 19th century that the first formal definition of a function could be provided, in terms of set theory.

5. Fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction

   In a fraction, the number of equal parts being described is the numerator (from Latin: numerātor, "counter" or "numberer"), and the type or variety of the parts is the denominator (from Latin: dēnōminātor, "thing that names or designates").

6. Continued fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continued_fraction

   Another meaning for generalized continued fraction is a generalization to higher dimensions. For example, there is a close relationship between the simple continued fraction in canonical form for the irrational real number α, and the way lattice points in two dimensions lie to either side of the line y = αx. Generalizing this idea, one might ...

7. Undefined (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

   In mathematics, the term undefined refers to a value, function, or other expression that cannot be assigned a meaning within a specific formal system. [1] Attempting to assign or use an undefined value within a particular formal system, may produce contradictory or meaningless results within that system.

8. Algebraic fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_fraction

   A complex fraction is a fraction whose numerator or denominator, or both, contains a fraction. A simple fraction contains no fraction either in its numerator or its denominator. A fraction is in lowest terms if the only factor common to the numerator and the denominator is 1. An expression which is not in fractional form is an integral ...

9. Rate (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

   In mathematics, a rate is the quotient of two quantities, often represented as a fraction. [1] If the divisor (or fraction denominator) in the rate is equal to one expressed as a single unit, and if it is assumed that this quantity can be changed systematically (i.e., is an independent variable), then the dividend (the fraction numerator) of the rate expresses the corresponding rate of change ...
