- 3. the trigonometric function that is equal to the ratio of the side adjacent to an acute angle (in a right-angled triangle) to the hypotenuse.
- 4. a particular ordering of a set of objects, e.g. given the set {1, 2, 3}, there are six permutations: {1, 2, 3}, {1, 3, 2}, {2, 1, 3}, {2, 3, 1}, {3, 1, 2}, and {3, 2, 1}
- 7. an ordered set whose elements are usually determined based on some function of the counting numbers, e.g. a geometric sequence is a set where each element is a multiple of the previous element; an arithmetic sequence is a set where each element is the previous element plus or minus a number
- 8. Mrs. Maclean’s favorite class drink
- 12. junior year coffee assistant
- 15. The mean is the same as the average. Add up a series of numbers and divide the sum by the total number of values.
- 16. Mrs. Maclean's favorite method of punishment
- 17. a flat two-dimensional surface (physical or theoretical) with infinite width and length, zero thickness and zero curvature
- 19. an algebraic equation with 3 terms
- 20. subject that Mrs.Maclean loves
- 22. the ratio of a circumference of a circle to its diameter, an irrational (and transcendental) number approximately equal to 3.141593…
- 23. a physical quantity having magnitude and direction, represented by a directed arrow indicating its orientation in space
- 25. The longest side of a right-angled triangle, always opposite to the right angle itself
- 26. A value that does not change
- 28. whole numbers, both positive (natural numbers) and negative, including zero
- 32. best math teacher
- 33. the operation in calculus (inverse to the operation of differentiation) of finding the integral of a function or equation
- 37. math tool that people forget to bring in class
Down
- 1. a smooth symmetrical curve with two branches produced by the section of a conical surface
- 2. circle on the math class wall that everyone everyone uses in geometry
- 5. the trigonometric function that for an acute angle is the ratio between the leg opposite the angle when it is considered part of a right triangle and the hypotenuse
- 6. the operation in calculus (inverse to the operation of integration) of finding the derivative of a function or equation
- 7. a collection of distinct objects or numbers, without regard to their order, considered as an object in its own right
- 9. a one-to-one comparison or correspondence of the members of two sets, so that there are no unmapped elements in either set, which are therefore of the same size and cardinality
- 10. (Freshman and Sophmore Year) Coffee Assistant
- 11. a proposition that is not actually proved or demonstrated, but is considered to be self-evident and universally accepted as a starting point for deducing and inferring other truths and theorems, without any need of proof
- 13. the inverse operation to exponentiation, the exponent of a power to which a base (usually 10 or e for natural logarithms) must be raised to produce a given number, e.g. because 1,000 = 103, the log10 100 = 3
- 14. a number which, when multiplied by x yields the multiplicative identity 1, and can therefore be thought of as the inverse of multiplication, e.g. the reciprocal of x is 1⁄x, the reciprocal of 3⁄5 is 5⁄3
- 18. Ms. Maclean’s favorite color
- 21. a quantity or set of numbers without bound, limit or end, whether countably infinite like the set of integers, or uncountably infinite like the set of real numbers (represented by the symbol ∞)
- 24. a mathematical statement or hypothesis which has been proved on the basis of previously established theorems and previously accepted axioms, effectively the proof of the truth of a statement or expression
- 27. a step by step procedure by which an operation can be carried out
- 29. the mirror image of a shape or object, obtained from flipping the shape on an axis
- 30. the point towards which a series or function converges, e.g. as x becomes closer and closer to zero, (sin x)⁄x becomes closer and closer to the limit of 1
- 31. the branch of mathematics that studies the relationships between the sides and the angles of right triangles, and deals with and with the trigonometric functions (sine, cosine, tangent and their reciprocals)
- 34. A distance found by measuring a line segment extending from the center of a circle to any point on the circle; the line extending from the center of a sphere to any point on the outside edge of the sphere
- 35. a polynomial algebraic expression or equation with just two terms, e.g. 2x3 – 3y = 7; x2 + 4x; etc
- 36. a straight line or plane that touches a curve or curved surface at a point, but if extended does not cross it at that point.
