Mathematical Abbreviations

Look through 169 acronyms and abbreviations related to Mathematical:

ARSINH — inverse hyperbolic sine function
WRT — "With respect to", especially in fields such as Mathematics.
WALOG — Without Any Loss of Generality
W^5 — which was what we wanted
ARG MIN — argument of the minimum
A.E. — almost everywhere
ARG MAX — argument of the maximum
IID — independent and identically distributed random variables
SUPP — Support
IFF — If and Only If
MIN — Minimum
WLOG — Without Loss Of Generality. Mathematical term, and applicable more generally, to justify the use of an isolated case in proving an issue, when the need for wider evidence is not required or is irrelevant and would be a waste of time. (Thanks E Key)
