(January 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) In mathematics, value may refer to several, strongly related notions.- The value of a variable or a constant is any number or other mathematical object assigned to it.- The value of a mathematical expression is the result of the computation described by this expression when the variables and constants in it are assigned values.- The value of a function, given the value(s) assigned to its argument(s), is the value assumed by the function for these argument values. For example, if the function f is defined by f(x) = 2x2 – 3x + 1, then assigning the value 3 to its argument x yields the function value 10, since f(3) = 2·32 – 3·3 + 1 = 10.
