Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Nonreducing

👉 In mathematics, a non-reducing symbol is one that cannot be reduced to another symbol in a language or system. It is used when there are symbols that can represent different values but cannot be represented with any other value. For example, in the set of real numbers $\mathbb{R}$, $-3$ and 5 both represent negative integers, but neither can be expressed as a single number without loss of information.
