👉 Ruts in mathematics refer to a set of points on a graph or curve that are so close together that they appear as if they were drawn from the same point. These points, when plotted on a graph, can be considered as the "ruts" of a function. The term "rut" is derived from Latin and refers to the Greek word for "wheel," which is used in the context of geometry to describe the shape of a wheel or a rim that is rolled over without slipping.
