also, the mark used to indicate an approximate valueTILING: tessellation, a covering of an infinite geometric plane without gaps or overlaps by congruent plane figures of one type or a few types; also: a generalization of this to fill Euclidean space of three or higher dimensions using geometric objects of the same dimension as the space filledTOOK: to subtract (take two from four); also, to reckon, accept (taking a stride at 30 inches)TOPOLOGY: a branch of mathematics concerned with those properties of geometric configurations (such as point sets) which are unaltered by elastic deformations (such as a stretching or a twisting) that are homeomorphisms; also, the set of all open subsets of a topological spaceTORI: plural of torus, a doughnut-shaped surface generated by a circle rotated about an axis in its plane that does not intersect the circle; broadly: toroid, a surface generated by a closed plane curve rotated about a line that lies in the same plane as the curve but does not intersect it, or a body whose surface has the form of a toroidTORIC: of, relating to, or shaped like a torus or segment of a torus, a doughnut-shaped surface generated by a circle rotated about an axis in its plane that does not intersect the circle; broadly: toroid, a surface generated by a closed plane curve rotated about a line that lies in the same plane as the curve but does not intersect it, or a body whose surface has the form of a toroidTOROID: a surface generated by a closed plane curve rotated about a line that lies in the same plane as the curve but does not intersect it; also, a body whose surface has the form of a toroidTOTAL: a product of addition a sum; also, to add up; to compute; an entire quantity: amount; also, to amount to, to numberTOTALITY: an aggregate amount: sum, whole (the totality of human knowledge)TOTE: to add, to total —usually used with upTOTED: to add, to total —usually used with upTOTING: to add, to total —usually used with upTRIG: trigonometry, the study of the properties of triangles and trigonometric functions and of their applicationsTRIVIAL: relating to or being the mathematically simplest case, specifically: characterized by having all variables equal to zero (a trivial solution to a linear equation)UNEQUAL: not of the same measurement, quantity, or number as another (boards of unequal length)UNEVEN: odd: being any of the integers (such as −3, −1, +1, and +3) that are not divisible by two without leaving a remainderUNION: the set of all elements belonging to one or more of a given collection of two or more sets ( called also join, sum)UNIT: a single quantity regarded as a whole in calculation; also, (adj) being, relating to, or measuring one unitUNITY: a definite amount taken as one or for which 1 is made to stand in calculation (in a table of natural sines the radius of the circle is regarded as unity); also, an identity element, an element (such as 0 in the set of all integers under addition or 1 in the set of positive integers under multiplication) that leaves any element of the set to which it belongs unchanged when combined with it by a specified operationUNKNOWN: a symbol (such as x, y, or z) in a mathematical equation representing an unknown quantityVALUE: mathematics: a numerical quantity that is assigned or is determined by calculation or measurement (let x take on positive values)VARY: to take on successive values (y varies inversely with x)WEIGHT: a numerical coefficient assigned to an item to express its relative importance in a frequency distribution;
