title: Identity (mathematics)
text: In mathematics, an identity is an equality relating one mathematical expression A to another mathematical expression B, such that A and B produce the same value for all values of the variables within a certain domain of discourse. In other words, A = B is an identity if A and B define the same functions, and an identity is an equality between functions that are differently defined. For example, 2 = a 2 + 2 a b + b 2 and cos 2 ⁡ θ + sin 2 ⁡ θ = 1 are identities. Identities are sometimes indicated
