    The same term can also be used more informally to refer to something "standard" or "classic". For example, one might say that Euclid's proof is the "canonical proof" of the infinitude of primes. There are two canonical proofs that are always used to show non-mathematicians what a mathematical proof is like:

  3. Term algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Term_algebra

    In universal algebra and mathematical logic, a term algebra is a freely generated algebraic structure over a given signature. [1] [2] For example, in a signature consisting of a single binary operation, the term algebra over a set X of variables is exactly the free magma generated by X.

    For example, 2+2 is a ground term and hence also a linear term, x⋅(n+1) is a linear term, n⋅(n+1) is a non-linear term. These properties are important in, for example, term rewriting. Given a signature for the function symbols, the set of all terms forms the free term algebra. The set of all ground terms forms the initial term algebra.

    As this example shows, when like terms exist in an expression, they may be combined by adding or subtracting (whatever the expression indicates) the coefficients, and maintaining the common factor of both terms. Such combination is called combining like terms, and it is an important tool used for solving equations.

  6. Expression (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    A term is a constant or the product of a constant and one or more variables. Some examples include ,,, The constant of the product is called the coefficient. Terms that are either constants or have the same variables raised to the same powers are called like terms. If there are like terms in an expression, one can simplify the expression by ...

  7. Algebraic structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_structure

    An algebraic structure in a variety may be understood as the quotient algebra of term algebra (also called "absolutely free algebra") divided by the equivalence relations generated by a set of identities. So, a collection of functions with given signatures generate a free algebra, the term algebra T.
