    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Mathematical...

    Domain-specific terms must be recategorized into the corresponding mathematical domain. If the domain is unclear, but reasonably believed to exist, it is better to put the page into the root category:mathematics, where it will have a better chance of spotting and classification.

    Also confidence coefficient. A number indicating the probability that the confidence interval (range) captures the true population mean. For example, a confidence interval with a 95% confidence level has a 95% chance of capturing the population mean. Technically, this means that, if the experiment were repeated many times, 95% of the CIs computed at this level would contain the true population ...

    A function f is cofunction of a function g if f(A) = g(B) whenever A and B are complementary angles. [10] This definition typically applies to trigonometric functions. [11] [12] The prefix "co-" can be found already in Edmund Gunter's Canon triangulorum (1620). [13] [14] concave function Is the negative of a convex function.

    Word problems are problems which need a phase of situation understanding / translation to equations / however you may call it, prior to mechanical calculus. Word problems are problems stated in words instead of using mathematical notation. The first definition is a subset of the second, and hence the misunderstanding between both sides.
