Frequentative verbs are formed with the suffix –gat (–get after a front vowel; see vowel harmony). Also there is a so-called Template rule, which forces another vowel in between the base verb and the affix resulting in a word containing at least three syllables.

def – define or definition. deg – degree of a polynomial, or other recursively-defined objects such as well-formed formulas. (Also written as ∂.) del – del, a differential operator. (Also written as.) det – determinant of a matrix or linear transformation. DFT – discrete Fourier transform.
Mathematics is the science that draws necessary conclusions. [10] Benjamin Peirce 1870. All Mathematics is Symbolic Logic. [8] Bertrand Russell 1903. Peirce did not think that mathematics is the same as logic, since he thought mathematics makes only hypothetical assertions, not categorical ones. [11]
The phrase "formal definition" may help to flag the actual definition of a concept for readers unfamiliar with academic terminology, in which "definition" means formal definition, and a "proof" is always a formal proof. When the topic is a theorem, the article should provide a precise statement of the theorem.
A great many professional mathematicians take no interest in a definition of mathematics, or consider it undefinable. There is not even consensus on whether mathematics is an art or a science. Some just say, "mathematics is what mathematicians do". [166] [167] A common approach is to define mathematics by its object of study. [168] [169] [170 ...
Examples of the exact sciences are mathematics, optics, astronomy, [3] and physics, which many philosophers from Descartes, Leibniz, and Kant to the logical positivists took as paradigms of rational and objective knowledge. [4] These sciences have been practiced in many cultures from antiquity [5] [6] to modern times.
Let S be a statement of the form P implies Q (P → Q). Then the converse of S is the statement Q implies P (Q → P). In general, the truth of S says nothing about the truth of its converse, [2] unless the antecedent P and the consequent Q are logically equivalent. For example, consider the true statement "If I am a human, then I am mortal."
