No, I didn’t think you would be able to figure out my math symbol. I just thought it was funny.
Math symbol for undefined is one of those things that is used more for humor than anything else. Since we’re all so obsessed with math, it’s become the one and only thing you can find on the internet that you use to refer to something without even thinking about it. It’s a shame because most of the other things that are used for math are far more difficult to spell. Like I said, I just thought it was funny.
I’m really glad I found this site. The math symbol for undefined comes from the first book I ever read as a kid. It’s sort of the equivalent of the Latin word for “unknown,” which is “nihil quod sint.” (Nihil, which is Latin for “nothing,” is the root of the word “nothing.”) The word is used very informally in mathematics, most commonly as a symbol for something that you don’t know.
Math symbols are used in mathematics to represent things that you dont know. But the way the word is used in the English language is more like, I dunno, you don’t know what this thing is, but it’s the only way I can spell it! And sometimes the word is used in a more formal way, like in the first book I read, when we’re talking about something that is neither known nor unknown which is how I know I should use it in this case.
In math, it is much more common to write “the symbol for an undefined thing” than “an undefined thing”. This is because the word “undefined” in English is often used as a negative word, like saying “there’s something I cant define, but I know there’s something else I can’t define”, which is much more formal. In math, we often use the word “undefined” as a positive word instead, as in, “there is no undefined thing”.
So, undefined is a good thing in math, but in real life I’d say that there is no undefined thing.
Well, I’m not sure if that word is a good thing in math either. So here are some other words I’d like to see used, but in math, a word means what it says. I know what they are, but still I’d like to have them in my vocabulary.
The word undefined is actually a word for negative. So, I think I’d use that as the first letter of a word that means “not defined”. In math however, it is a positive word. I think I’d just use it as a word for nothing.
So, the first letter of undefined is the negative, so that is the word I use. It is also an interesting word because it doesn’t mean any particular thing, so Im not sure if anyone cares or thinks it is. I think Id say it meant nothing in its original context.
It could also be a word for zero. I think Id say it means zero in its original context.
