  • In mathematics, a unary operation is an operation with only one operand, i.e. an operation with a single input, or in other words, a function of one variable (for the terminology see also operators versus functions).
  • Common notations are prefix notation (+, −, not), postfix notation (factorial: n!), and functional notation (sin x or sin (x)). In the case of the square root a horizontal bar over the argument extending the square root sign can indicate the extent of the argument, so that parentheses can be dispensed with.
