    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difference_quotient

    The difference quotient is a measure of the average rate of change of the function over an interval (in this case, an interval of length h).: 237 The limit of the difference quotient (i.e., the derivative) is thus the instantaneous rate of change.

    This follows from the difference-quotient definition of the derivative. The last equality follows from the continuity of the derivatives at c. The limit in the conclusion is not indeterminate because ′ (). The proof of a more general version of L'Hôpital's rule is given below. General proof

    An intelligence quotient ( IQ) is a total score derived from a set of standardised tests or subtests designed to assess human intelligence. [1] The abbreviation "IQ" was coined by the psychologist William Stern for the German term Intelligenzquotient, his term for a scoring method for intelligence tests at University of Breslau he advocated in ...

  6. Second derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_derivative

    In calculus, the second derivative, or the second-order derivative, of a function f is the derivative of the derivative of f. Informally, the second derivative can be phrased as "the rate of change of the rate of change"; for example, the second derivative of the position of an object with respect to time is the instantaneous acceleration of ...

  7. Modular arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_arithmetic

    Time-keeping on this clock uses arithmetic modulo 12. Adding 4 hours to 9 o'clock gives 1 o'clock, since 13 is congruent to 1 modulo 12. In mathematics, modular arithmetic is a system of arithmetic for integers, where numbers "wrap around" when reaching a certain value, called the modulus. The modern approach to modular arithmetic was developed ...

  8. Quotient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotient

    In arithmetic, a quotient (from Latin: quotiens 'how many times', pronounced / ˈkwoʊʃənt /) is a quantity produced by the division of two numbers. [1] The quotient has widespread use throughout mathematics. It has two definitions: either the integer part of a division (in the case of Euclidean division) [2] or a fraction or ratio (in the ...
