👉 A dominating term in mathematics refers to a term that is used as an example or as an alternative to another term. It can be defined as a term that is more important than the other terms it replaces, and it is often used in contexts where one of the terms has already been used before. For example, "the dominant species" might be defined as "the most numerous species," which is considered a dominating term because it is more specific than the generic term "species."
