Correct Functions name

[ValeryOchkov]

Same Mathcad-functions have not correct names.

For example root(y(x), x)

Must be root(y(x)=0, x) or zero(y(x),x)

But it is not so important.

Second and important example.

If I use the function regress I think that Mathcad creators do not know what is it regression. Regression is not a fitting!

It will be very good to correct some names of Mathcad-functions in Mathcad Prime!

Help me please to write the list of same functions with not correct names!

[ValeryOchkov]

The function interp (interpolation?) has not correct name too!

In one case it solves the task of interpolation.

But in other case it solves the task of approximation!

Are you referring to Extrapolation?

[ValeryOchkov]

No, for Extrapolation we have predict function (see below).

One my friend use this function for prediction a ratio $ / Ruble for a game on the Russian stock exchange.

But he is

[MikeArmstrong]

Oh right I see.

Nice example by the way.
