IEVref: 103-01-06 ID: Language: en Status: Standard Term: function of n variables Synonym1: Synonym2: Synonym3: Symbol: Definition: function for which the argument is an ordered set of n numbers or scalar quantitiesNote 1 to entry: The value of the function f of n variables ${x}_{1},\text{\hspace{0.17em}}{x}_{2},\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\dots ,\text{\hspace{0.17em}}{x}_{n}$ is denoted by $f\left({x}_{1},\text{\hspace{0.17em}}{x}_{2},\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\dots ,\text{\hspace{0.17em}}{x}_{n}\right)$. Note 2 to entry: In many practical applications in electrotechnology, functions of one variable are used. This variable is often the duration and the function is then called "function of time" and denoted by f(t). But the variables may also be space variables (e.g. coordinates), frequency, etc. Publication date: 2009-12 Source: Replaces: Internal notes: 2017-02-20: Editorial revisions in accordance with the information provided in C00020 (IEV 103) - evaluation.
