    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, an identity is an equality relating one mathematical expression A to another mathematical expression B, such that A and B (which might contain some variables) produce the same value for all values of the variables within a certain range of validity. [1] In other words, A = B is an identity if A and B define the same functions ...
