:::You're right, I'm a bit in over my head here, but I do believe that the article should not be so heavily reliant on "indeterminate"; though the exact reason has changed. This started by trying to clarify the [[Indeterminate (variable)]] artice. I talked to the professors in my university's math department, and they (apparently) did not know a formal definition either (many of them were very adiment that indeterminates could not be substituded), but they eventually agreed that a formal definition was a “variable with an empty domain”. So this was I focused the article on that, with the idea of finding more sources later, coming up with this version: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Indeterminate_(variable)&oldid=1241754252
:::But this was (rightly) reverted citing WP:Original Research, as I could not find sources in time. Then, in my attempt to find formal definitions, I could only find three books which attempt to formally define the term which define it (very surprisingly) as I describe in this version: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Indeterminate_(variable)&oldid=1241888326
:::(You may see the books in this version of the article) Almost word-for-word, and all of them agreed on this definition. (please read the sections of the books before you just tell me it is wrong). And be causebecause it was so different from how it is usually presented, I started a discussion in the talk page, here: [[Talk:Indeterminate (variable)#Disparity between definition and usage|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Indeterminate_(variable)#Disparity_between_definition_and_usage]]
:::Which also has links to more specific page numbers. However this version was also reverted, and is currently under discussion in the Talk page over there. [[User:Farkle Griffen|Farkle Griffen]] ([[User talk:Farkle Griffen|talk]]) 19:43, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
I think this is already explained in the article. [[User:Tito Omburo|Tito Omburo]] ([[User talk:Tito Omburo|talk]]) 02:35, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
