mathematical operation
- Noun:
- A procedure or calculation performed according to mathematical rules: A "mathematical operation" is a specific step or process in mathematics that combines numbers or expressions to produce a result. It refers to the fundamental actions of arithmetic and more advanced procedures.
- Noun:
- Addition and subtraction are basic mathematical operations.
- The software can perform complex mathematical operations in milliseconds.
- Understanding the order of mathematical operations is essential for solving equations correctly.
"To perform a mathematical operation": To carry out or execute a specific calculation.
- The computer performs billions of mathematical operations per second.
"Binary operation": An operation that combines two elements (like two numbers) to produce another element.
- In set theory, union and intersection are examples of binary mathematical operations.
Operation (n): In a general mathematical context, often used synonymously with "mathematical operation."
- The four basic arithmetic operations are addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Operator (n): A symbol (like +, −, ×, ÷) that denotes a specific mathematical operation.
- The plus sign is the operator for the addition operation.
- Arithmetic operation: Specifically refers to operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
- Calculation: The process of performing a mathematical operation.
- Mathematical process: A series of mathematical operations or a procedure.
Order of operations: The set of rules that dictate the sequence in which multiple mathematical operations should be performed in an expression (often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction).
- You must follow the order of operations to get the correct answer.
Inverse operation: An operation that reverses the effect of another operation (e.g., subtraction is the inverse operation of addition).
- To check your work, you can use the inverse mathematical operation.
