Piecewise function, an Uncommon card
In mathematics, a piecewise function is a function whose domain is partitioned into several intervals on which the function may be defined differently.

- Uncommon

- Science
- ATK
- 55
- DEF
- 36
- Power
- 91

Power 91 (ATK + DEF): stronger than 35 % of WikiCards cards.

Which of these cards hits hardest (highest ATK)?
Answer

In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Piecewise definition is actually a way of specifying the function, rather than a characteristic of the resulting function itself, as every function whose domain contains at least two points can be rewritten as a piecewise function.
- The first three paragraphs of this article only deal with this first meaning of "piecewise".
- Terms like piecewise linear, piecewise smooth, piecewise continuous, and others are also very common.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Piecewise function article was read about 38,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 55 and blocks with 36: each hit it takes is cut by 14 %.
How to get Piecewise function
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
