👉 In mathematics, an incitation is a function that maps one variable to another. The term "incitation" was first used in the 17th century by Isaac Newton and his student James Gregory. It refers to a mathematical operation or transformation where the output of one function is multiplied by a factor proportional to the input of another function. For example, consider two functions f(x) and g(x): f(x) = x^2 g(x) = 3x + 1
