Depending on authors, the term "maps" or the term "functions" may be reserved for specific kinds of functions or morphisms (e.g., function as an analytic term and map as a general term). mathematics See mathematics. multivalued A "multivalued function” from a set A to a set B is a function from A to the subsets of B.
According to Florian Cajori in A History of Mathematical Notations, Johann Rahn used both the therefore and because signs to mean "therefore"; in the German edition of Teutsche Algebra (1659) the therefore sign was prevalent with the modern meaning, but in the 1668 English edition Rahn used the because sign more often to mean "therefore".
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.
[5] lg – common logarithm (log 10) or binary logarithm (log 2). LHS – left-hand side of an equation. Li – offset logarithmic integral function. li – logarithmic integral function or linearly independent. lim – limit of a sequence, or of a function. lim inf – limit inferior. lim sup – limit superior. LLN – law of large numbers.
Computing can be restated in terms of an infinite table. We place the numbers 2 b {\displaystyle 2^{b}} in the top row, and fill the left column with values 2. To determine a number in the table, take the number immediately to the left, then look up the required number in the previous row, at the position given by the number just taken.

For example, 3 5 = 3 · 3 · 3 · 3 · 3 = 243. The base 3 appears 5 times in the multiplication, because the exponent is 5. Here, 243 is the 5th power of 3, or 3 raised to the 5th power. The word "raised" is usually omitted, and sometimes "power" as well, so 3 5 can be simply read "3 to the 5th", or "3 to the 5".
