Terminology: Inequalities

[Niles]

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
Hi all

What is a ">" called in English, and likewise, what is ">=" called in English?

[Mark44]

> - "greater than"
>= "greater than or equal to"

[Niles]

I mean what are the symbols called? Translating what we call it here, in English it would be something like a "sharp inequality" and a "soft inequality" respectively (these are not the correct English terms, according to Google).

[Mark44]

Maybe "strictly greater than" for >, and "strictly less than" for <. I don't think there is corresponding terminology for >= and <=.

The symbol > is sometimes called "right angle bracket", and < is called "left angle bracket."
