SUMMARY

The mathematical term for an angle changing by 0 is "stationary." In the context of calculus, a stationary point refers to a point where the derivative is zero, indicating no change in the angle. While some may refer to it as "unchanged," the term "stationary" is more precise and widely accepted in mathematical discussions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic calculus concepts, specifically derivatives.
  • Familiarity with the terminology of stationary points in mathematics.
  • Knowledge of angle measurement and its significance in geometry.
  • Basic comprehension of mathematical change and its representation.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the concept of stationary points in calculus.
  • Learn about derivatives and their role in determining changes in functions.
  • Explore geometric interpretations of angles and their changes.
  • Study the applications of stationary points in optimization problems.
USEFUL FOR

Students of mathematics, educators teaching calculus, and anyone interested in the concepts of change and stability in mathematical functions.

Hi,

Does anyone know if there is a Mathematical term used to state that the angle of change of some point is 0?

"stationary" ? :confused:
 
I suppose there is no actual scientific term, but thanks. I decided to stick with "unchanged" ;).
