Definition df-ceil 10227

Description: The ceiling (least integer greater than or equal to) function. Defined in ISO 80000-2:2009(E) operation 2-9.18 and the "NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions" , front introduction, "Common Notations and Definitions" section at http://dlmf.nist.gov/front/introduction#Sx4. See ceilqval 10262 for its value, ceilqge 10266 and ceilqm1lt 10268 for its basic properties, and ceilqcl 10264 for its closure. For example, (⌈‘(3 / 2)) = 2 while (⌈‘-(3 / 2)) = -1 (ex-ceil 13761).

As described in df-fl 10226 most theorems are only for rationals, not reals.

The symbol ⌈ is inspired by the gamma shaped left bracket of the usual notation. (Contributed by David A. Wheeler, 19-May-2015.)
