2. Quantity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantity

   Quantities can be used as being infinitesimal, arguments of a function, variables in an expression (independent or dependent), or probabilistic as in random and stochastic quantities. In mathematics, magnitudes and multitudes are also not only two distinct kinds of quantity but furthermore relatable to each other.

3. Non-numerical words for quantities - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-numerical_words_for...

   The English language has a number of words that denote specific or approximate quantities that are themselves not numbers. [1] Along with numerals, and special-purpose words like some, any, much, more, every, and all, they are quantifiers. Quantifiers are a kind of determiner and occur in many constructions with other determiners, like articles ...

4. Quotient - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotient

   It has two definitions: either the integer part of a division (in the case of Euclidean division) [2] or a fraction or ratio (in the case of a general division). For example, when dividing 20 (the dividend ) by 3 (the divisor ), the quotient is 6 (with a remainder of 2) in the first sense and 6 2 3 = 6.66... {\displaystyle 6{\tfrac {2}{3}}=6.66 ...

5. Formula - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula

   In mathematics, a formula generally refers to an equation or inequality relating one mathematical expression to another, with the most important ones being mathematical theorems. For example, determining the volume of a sphere requires a significant amount of integral calculus or its geometrical analogue, the method of exhaustion . [ 3 ]

   In Aristotle's classification of the sciences, discrete quantities were studied by arithmetic, continuous quantities by geometry. [4] Aristotle also thought that quantity alone does not distinguish mathematics from sciences like physics; in his view, abstraction and studying quantity as a property "separable in thought" from real instances set ...

8. Physical quantity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_quantity

   A systems of quantities relates physical quantities, and due to this dependence, a limited number of quantities can serve as a basis in terms of which the dimensions of all the remaining quantities of the system can be defined. A set of mutually independent quantities may be chosen by convention to act as such a set, and are called base quantities.

9. Mathematics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics

   The word mathematics comes from the Ancient Greek word máthēma (μάθημα), meaning ' something learned, knowledge, mathematics ', and the derived expression mathēmatikḗ tékhnē (μαθηματικὴ τέχνη), meaning ' mathematical science '. It entered the English language during the Late Middle English period through French and ...
