Essay about one mathematical function in three volumes? (7)
I believe the answer is:
trilogy
'function in three volumes?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both groups as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'essay about one mathematical' is the wordplay.
'essay' becomes 'try' (synonyms).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'mathematical' becomes 'log' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'i'+'log'='ilog'
'try' placed around 'ilog' is 'TRILOGY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for trilogy that I've seen before include "Set of three literary or dramatic works" , "Group of three novels, films, etc" , "Work in three parts" , "collected works" , "Three-volume work" .)
