In mathematics , an argument of a function mathematics function is a specific input in the function, also known as an Dependent and independent variables independent variable . When it is clear from the context which argument is meant, the argument is often denoted by arg . A mathematical function has one or more arguments in the form of Dependent and independent variables independent variables designated in the function s definition, which can also contain parameter s. The independent variables are mentioned in the list of arguments that the function takes, whereas the parameters are not. For example, in the logarithmic function math f x log b x math , the Base exponentiation base b is considered a parameter. A function that takes a single argument as input such as math f x x 2 math is called a unary function . A function of two or more variables is considered to have a domain mathematics domain consisting of ordered pair s or tuple s of argument values. For example, the binary function math f x,y x 2 y 2 math has two arguments, x and y , in an ordered pair math x, y math . The hypergeometric function is an example of a four argument function. The number of arguments that a function takes is called the arity of the function.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Orphan date November 2006 Argument The lazy argument is an attempt at undermining doctrines of destiny fate . The argument relies on a deterministic system such as of the Stoics . It runs as such why should we bother making decisions if the outcome is already fixed? For instance, when we feel sick, why should we call the doctor or do anything at all? The outcome is already fated. We will either recover or die and in a deterministic system one of these options has already been chosen. We can subsequently conclude that we ought not do anything. For, whether we act in one way or another will do little to undermine the force of fate. Refutation The Stoic philosopher Chrysippus refutation of the lazy argument is given in Cicero s On Fate De fato . The argument presented by Cicero calls upon the idea that an event is co fated with other events. As in the example above, if it is fated to recover from an illness, then the necessary steps to reach recovery are fated as well, and can be said to be co fated along with this final event. So while recovery will occur, the steps to reach recovery must also occur and will occur if it truly is one s fate . The lazy argument seems to hold only if one neglects to consider the necessity of the occurrence of intermediate events related to a final and fated event. Yet this is unsound and the lazy argument must be rejected. Consider this hypothetical argument. Say at a time T sub 1 sub it is fated that I will pass my test at a time T sub 2 sub . The lazy argument would suggest that I would be just as justified to not study as I would be to study because I will pass the test at T sub 2 sub no matter what after all, it is fated . But while my passing of the test is fated, it is also dependent on my completion of a series of events between T sub 1 sub and T sub 2 sub . If I do not complete these intermediate events, then I will not pass my test at T sub 2 sub . DEFAULTSORT Lazy Argument Category Philosophical ... more details
See Diodorus Cronus for the classical Master Argument related to the problem of future contingents . The Master Argument refers to George Berkeley s argument that mind independent objects do not exist because it is impossible to conceive of them. ref George Berkeley, A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge , 22 to 23. ref The argument is against intuition and has been widely challenged. The term Berkeley s master argument was introduced by Andre Gallois in 1974. ref Gallois, Andre. Berkeley s Master Argument. Philosophical Review 83 1974 55 69. ref His term has firmly become currency of contemporary Berkeley scholarship. TOC left In order to determine whether it is possible for a tree to exist outside of the mind, we need to be able to think of an unconceived tree. But as soon as we try to think about this tree, we have conceived it. So we have failed and there is no good reason to believe that trees exist outside of the mind. The Master Argument has been seen by several prominent philosophers as having a crucial mistake see Idealism Criticism criticisms of idealism .

Specifically, is the angle between the orbit s apsis periapsis the point of closest approach to the central point and the orbit s ascending node the point where the body crosses the plane of reference from South to North . The angle is measured in the orbital plane astronomy orbital plane and in the direction of motion. For specific types of orbits, words such as perihelion for Sun centered orbits , perigee for Earth centered orbits , periastron for orbits around stars and so on may replace the word periapsis . See apsis for more information. An argument of periapsis of 0 means that the orbiting body will be at its closest approach to the central body at the same moment that it crosses the plane of reference from South to North. An argument of periapsis of 90 means that the orbiting body will reach periapsis at its northmost distance from the plane of reference.

Unreferenced date January 2009 For the racehorse Closing Argument horse A closing argument , summation , or summing up is the concluding statement of each party s counsel often called an attorney in the United States reiterating the important Logical argument arguments for the trier of fact , often the jury, in a court case . A closing argument occurs after the presentation of evidence law evidence . A closing argument may not contain any new information and may only use evidence law evidence introduced at trial. It is not customary to raise objection law objection s during closing arguments, except for egregious behavior. However, such objections, when made, can prove critical later in order to preserve appellate issues. In the United States, the plaintiff is generally entitled to open the argument. The defendant usually goes second. The plaintiff or prosecution is usually then permitted a final rebuttal argument. In some jurisdictions, however, this form is condensed, and the prosecution or plaintiff goes second, after the defense, with no rebuttals. Either party may waive their opportunity to present a closing argument. During closing arguments, counsel may not among other restrictions vouch for the credibility of witnesses, indicate their personal opinions of the case, comment on the absence of evidence that they themselves have caused to be excluded, or attempt to exhort the jury to irrational, emotional behavior. In some countries e.g. France or Germany , in criminal cases, the defendant s counsel always makes his closing argument last, after the public prosecutor or any other party. Sometimes the defendant himself is allowed to address the court directly after his or her counsel s closing argument.

Whether or not it is true is often a subject of heated debate. The term itself comes from the phrase as European as the color green , which was used in the defense of Esperanto during the early nineties on a constructed language mailing list. The intention was to note that Esperanto s vocabulary list, despite being of European origins, describe ideas and necessary concepts found everywhere, regardless of linguistic background. The phrase eventually changed into as biased as the color green, and stuck. See distinguishing blue from green in language . Nowadays, the term color argument is used to describe a discussion about constructed languages which centers solely on the sources of the vocabulary and or grammar, as opposed to any other merits or flaws of the language.

For whatever bounds, it that thing must itself be bounded likewise and to this bounding thing there must be a bound again, and so on for ever and ever throughout all immensity. Suppose, however, for a moment, all existing space to be bounded, and that a man runs forward to the uttermost borders, and stands upon the last verge of things, and then hurls forward a winged javelin,&mdash suppose you that the dart, when hurled by the vivid force, shall take its way to the point the darter aimed at, or that something will take its stand in the path of its flight, and arrest it?
