👉 The term "contoured" in mathematics refers to a mathematical object or function that has an overall shape, appearance, or quality. It is often used in geometry and analysis to describe functions where certain properties are not immediately apparent from their simpler representations. For example: 1) The function f(x) = x^2 + 3x + 4 is defined everywhere on the real line but it does not have a simple representation as a single equation like y = ax + b. Instead, it
