Matematikte Bilinmeyen Sembolü Neden X’TirMatematikte bilinmeyen sembolü neden X’tir ![]() Neden “x” ? Merak etmiş miydiniz, matematikte bilinemeyene neden x deriz, neden k degil? Şöyle ki: http://www answers com/topic/xIn mathematics: * x commonly represents an unknown variable Even though any letter can be used, x is the most common by far This usage can be traced back to the Arabic word šay’ شيء = “thing”, which in translated algebra texts and similar was taken into Old Spanish with the pronunciation “šei”, which was written xei, which was soon habitually abbreviated to x (Spanish pronunciation of “x” has changed since ) But some sources say that this x is an abbreviation of Latin causa which was a translation of Arabic شيء That started the habit of using letters to represent quantities in algebra![]() Yani diyor ki: Bir İslam bilimcisi cebir kitabı yazarken bilinmeyeni “şey” olarak belirtmiş Kitap İspanyolca’ya çevrilirken (Endülüs’te yani) “şey”i “xay” olarak çevirmişler Sonra kısalıp x kalmış![]() |
