## Function (mathematics)

Called the domain of the function and the set Y is called the codomain of the function.

Called the domain of the function and the set Y is called the codomain of the function.

Typically, this occurs in mathematical analysis, where "a function from X to Y " often refers to a function that may have a proper subset of X as domain.

## Calculus

Mathematical study of continuous change, in the same way that geometry is the study of shape, and algebra is the study of generalizations of arithmetic operations.

Mathematical study of continuous change, in the same way that geometry is the study of shape, and algebra is the study of generalizations of arithmetic operations.

In mathematics education, calculus denotes courses of elementary mathematical analysis, which are mainly devoted to the study of functions and limits.

## Measure (mathematics)

Generalization and formalization of geometrical measures and other common notions, such as mass and probability of events.

Generalization and formalization of geometrical measures and other common notions, such as mass and probability of events.

Most measures met in practice in analysis (and in many cases also in probability theory) are Radon measures.

## Mathematics

Mathematics is an area of knowledge that includes such topics as numbers (arithmetic and number theory), formulas and related structures (algebra), shapes and the spaces in which they are contained (geometry), and quantities and their changes (calculus and analysis).

## Archimedes

Approximation of pi; defining and investigating the spiral that now bears his name; and devising a system using exponentiation for expressing very large numbers.

Approximation of pi; defining and investigating the spiral that now bears his name; and devising a system using exponentiation for expressing very large numbers.

Archimedes anticipated modern calculus and analysis by applying the concept of the infinitely small and the method of exhaustion to derive and rigorously prove a range of geometrical theorems, including: the area of a circle; the surface area and volume of a sphere; area of an ellipse; the area under a parabola; the volume of a segment of a paraboloid of revolution; the volume of a segment of a hyperboloid of revolution; and the area of a spiral.

## Calculus of variations

The calculus of variations is a field of mathematical analysis that uses variations, which are small changes in functions

## Limit (mathematics)

Value that a function approaches as the input (or index) approaches some value.

Value that a function approaches as the input (or index) approaches some value.

Limits are essential to calculus and mathematical analysis, and are used to define continuity, derivatives, and integrals.

## Series (mathematics)

In mathematics, a series is, roughly speaking, a description of the operation of adding infinitely many quantities, one after the other, to a given starting quantity.

In mathematics, a series is, roughly speaking, a description of the operation of adding infinitely many quantities, one after the other, to a given starting quantity.

The study of series is a major part of calculus and its generalization, mathematical analysis.

## Continuous function

Function such that a continuous variation of the argument induces a continuous variation of the value of the function.

Function such that a continuous variation of the argument induces a continuous variation of the value of the function.

Continuity is one of the core concepts of calculus and mathematical analysis, where arguments and values of functions are real and complex numbers.

## Augustin-Louis Cauchy

Baron Augustin-Louis Cauchy (, ; ; 21 August 1789 – 23 May 1857) was a French mathematician, engineer, and physicist who made pioneering contributions to several branches of mathematics, including mathematical analysis and continuum mechanics.
