My math teacher used to say that in this inequality 5 is smaller than 3 but 3 is less than 5.

Only greater than and less than are uniformly understood as and > relations > respectively; the other words (e.g., numbers) are irrelevant. (Latin). the use of smaller, lower (and smaller) are more ambiguous and should be avoided when writing mathematics.

Is it

worth it to argue with Google NGram for Google

I would generally say that ‘bigger’ refers to magnitude (distance from zero) whereas ‘higher’ refers to value (distance from negative infinity), but in context whatever is possible. We don’t tend to use small in maths very much, like in previous times. What is the correct translation of ‘greater’ and ‘less’? On Quora, the sign “Nearest” and > “Fantastic” are read ‘Is Greater than’ respectively. In fact, the signs and > are read’is less than”, ‘is greater than’ if respectively.

In http://oi 56.tinypic.com/2lieama. A note by: B.E. Mishra. At #adeiaa. jpg 5 is smaller and lower than 3, but still greater.,

if I use the word jpg wwe image wwe image wwe jpg5 I don’t know how to use it..

You can’t argue with the whole English-speaking world, and the fact of the matter is they overwhelmingly prefer smaller to lesser or lower.

I believe that 1 is a bigger number. If asked if you agree with me, would you agree? Because negative numbers don’t have real-world correlates, so we all tend to be a bit vague on that one. (If nobody knows or is interested in that one, why does this happen)

Is i smaller than 2i faster. Is there any evidence for this? Or are the two examples the same?

Both men are ok to use but they’re not great to play with. Both specific usages will be asked about but on average people prefer to use the former. I got my first one more years teaching later. Below is a better NGram for those who still want to dispute that point…

As a PhD mathematician, I’ve always guessed that 9 is smaller than 8, but not less than 8. So I did too. Why?

What is technically correct terminology if there is unspecified context to it? If you are talking about integer numbers then I would prefer to say that -9 is lower than -8. If you are talking about the magnitude of the numbers, rather than their place on the integer number line, then -8 is smaller and lower than -9 (although I would prefer to say smaller). As there is no technically correct answer to the questions, these phrases are often used interchangeably in practice. What is mathematical notation like 9?

“Less than” is another good alternative phrase. It is the words intended by the sign of the letters.

I would say that a small number is close to 0 and, in a context where negative numbers make sense, a low number is close to minus infinity. The simplest way to explain a business number is to give an example.

I believe that my Calculus 2 prof used such terms as “more negative”, “more positive”, and “closer to zero”, in case that’s helpful. There’s like no answer to my question if there’s a question about which the answer doesn’t answer the question properly. Do you answer my question? What is “smaller” and that answer is “slight”? org/wiki/Small_number points out; and I would suggest that “lower” is the same as “less than” but not popular for this particular phrase, getting more in such general comparisons as “lower temperature”.

What is the result of semantic conflation? Pour negative numbers the magnitude of an equation covaries with the value given and is equal to less than. This is not valid? Negative numbers at a greater distance from zero are less than those at a smaller distance. But they are not greater. One can solve a math problem in less than 2 generations. If mathematicians agree with this, then clarification in math texts and care on the part of math teachers may

enable the problem to be solved in no more than a generation.
