Matrix (pl.: matrices). A rectangular array of numbers,
letters, or other entities arranged in rows and columns.
Maximum/minimum (of a graph). The highest/lowest point
on a graph. A relative maximum/minimum is higher/lower than any
other point in its immediate vicinity.
Mean. The arithmetic average of a set of numerical data.
Median. The middle value of an ordered set of numerical
data. For example, the median value of the set {5, 8, 9, 10, 11,
11,13} is 10.
Mode. The most frequently occurring value in a set of data.
For example, the mode of the set {13, 5, 9, 11, 11, 8, 10} is
11.
Model (mathematical). A [verb] and a noun. [Generate] a
mathematical representation (e.g., number, graph, matrix, equation(s),
geometric figure) for real world or mathematical objects, properties,
actions, or relationships.
(Non)-Linear functional relationship.(See definition of
Function above.) Many functions can be represented by pairs of
numbers. When the graph of those pairs results in points lying
on a straight line, a function is said to be linear. When not
on a line, the function is nonlinear.
Outlier.For a set of numerical data, any value that is
markedly smaller or larger than other values. For example, in
the data set {3, 5, 4, 4, 6, 2, 25, 5, 6, 2} the value of 25 is
an outlier.
