Variable (mathematics)

In mathematics, a variable (from Latin variabilis, "changeable") is a symbol and placeholder for any mathematical object. In particular, a variable may represent a number, a vector, a matrix, a function, the argument of a function, a set, or an element of a set. Algebraic computations with variables as if they were explicit numbers solve a range of problems in a single computation. For example, the quadratic formula solves any quadratic equation by substituting the numeric values of the coefficients of that equation for the variables that represent them in the quadratic formula. In mathematical logic, a variable is either a symbol representing an unspecified term of the theory (a meta-variable), or a basic object of the theory that is manipulated without referring to its possible intuitive interpretation. (Wikipedia).

Discovering Variables – Combining Numbers for More Powerful Statistics (1-4)

Combining numbers creates variables – values that can vary or take on more than one value. If a value can be measured among a group and that value will be different for at least some of the group members, then you are measuring a variable. You will learn about qualitative (categorical) and
