Identity (mathematics)
In mathematics, an identity is an equality relating one mathematical expression A to another mathematical expression B, such that A and B (which might contain some variables) produce the same value for all values of the variables within a certain domain of discourse.12 In other words, A = B is an identity if A and B define the same functions, and an identity is an equality between functions that are differently defined. For example, and are identities.3 Identities are sometimes indicated by the triple bar symbol ≡ instead of =, the equals sign.4 Formally, an identity is a universally quantified equality.
