Preferred term

linear function  

Definition

  • In mathematics, the term linear function refers to two distinct but related notions :
    - In calculus and related areas, a linear function is a function whose graph is a straight line, that is, a polynomial function of degree zero or one. For distinguishing such a linear function from the other concept, the term affine function is often used.
    - In linear algebra, mathematical analysis, and functional analysis, a linear function is a linear map.
