Earliest Uses of Function Symbols: Until recently [x] has been the standard symbol for the greatest integer function. According to Grinstein (1970), "The use of the bracket notation, which has led some authors to term this the bracket function, stems back to the work of Gauss (1808) in number theory. The function is also referred to by Legendre who used the now obsolete notation E(x)." The Gauss reference is to Theorematis arithmetici demonstratio nova. Werke Volume: Bd. 2 p. 5. (aufgerufen am 25. Juli 2009).
Earliest Known Uses of Some of the Words of Mathematics (C): The terms Ceiling Function and
appear in Kenneth E. Iverson’s A Programming Language (1962, p. 12): “Two functions are defined: 1. the floor of x (or integral part of x) denoted by and defined as the largest integer not exceeding x, 2. the ceiling of x denoted by and defined as the smallest integer not exceeded by x.” This was the first appearance of the terms and symbols, according to R. L. Graham, D. E. Knuth & O. PatashnikConcrete Mathematics: A Foundation for Computer Science (1989, p. 67). (aufgerufen am 25. Juli 2009).
