Math Terminalogy

Introduction to math terminology:

Mathematics use a lot of terms. Mathematics term contains some symbol representation. Symbolic representation is easy to remain. Mathematics can be divided into many branches. Every branch contains many terminals to represent the mathematical word. Now we see some terms only.

Example for mathematics operation:

  • Addition
  • Subtraction
  • Multiplication
  • Division

Math Terminology in Various Branches of Maths:


Now we see mathematical terms in various branches. They are

  • Math terminology in number system
  • Math terminology in arithmetic
  • Math terminology in measurements
  • Math terminology in complex numbers
  • Math terminology in geometry
  • Math terminology in algebraic geometry
  • Math terminology in trigonometry
  • Math terminology in sets and functions
  • Math terminology in analytical geometry
  • Math terminology in probability

I have recently faced lot of problem while learning Binary Hexadecimal, But thank to online resources of math which helped me to learn myself easily on net.

Math Terminology:


Math terminology in number system:

The following terms are involved or used in number system. Now we see the math term with symbolic representation.

Real numbers =R
Whole number =W
Natural numbers =N
Greatest common divisor =GCD
Least common multiple=LCM
Arithmetic Progression =A.P
Geometric progression=G.P
Math terminology in arithmetic:

  • Ratio
  • Proportion
  • Percentage
  • Profit
  • Loss
  • Square root
  • Cube root
  • Time and work
  • Simple interest
Ratio: Ratio means contrast of two related quantities by division.

Proportion: Proportion is a sameness of two ratios.

Percentage: A percentage is a portion whose denominator is 100.

Profit: Profit= selling price- cost price

Loss: Loss=cost price-selling price
