Constant (mathematics)
text:
In mathematics, the word constant conveys multiple meanings. As an adjective, it refers to non-variance; as a noun, it has two different meanings:
- A fixed and well-defined number or other non-changing mathematical object, or the symbol denoting it. The terms mathematical constant or physical constant are sometimes used to distinguish this meaning.
- A function whose value remains unchanged. Such a constant is commonly represented by a variable which does not depend on the main variable(s)
