introduced the idea of representing known and unknown numbers by letters, nowadays called variables, and the idea of computing with them as if they were numbers—in order to obtain the result by a simple replacement. Viète's convention was to use consonants for known values, and vowels for unknowns.
1476:, the spatial position, ..., and all these quantities vary when the system evolves, that is, they are function of the time. In the formulas describing the system, these quantities are represented by variables which are dependent on the time, and thus considered implicitly as functions of the time. 2182: 664: 1709: 2444: 720: 2024: 2265: 1136: 2187:
However, in an experiment, in order to determine the dependence of pressure on a single one of the independent variables, it is necessary to fix all but one of the variables, say

It is common for variables to play different roles in the same mathematical formula, and names or qualifiers have been introduced to distinguish them. For example, the general

The property of a variable to be dependent or independent depends often of the point of view and is not intrinsic. For example, in the notation

One could approach this function more formally and think about its domain and range: in function notation, here 334:. These two notions are used almost identically, therefore one usually must be told whether a given symbol denotes a variable or a constant. 4060: 5127: 4450: 3326:.

This illustrates how independent variables and constants are largely dependent on the point of view taken. One could even regard
