From a programmers background, i know what i need to accomplish, and how i should, but i don't know if there's a mathematical name for what i'm doing here...
For examle, i have the number 5 in a range from 0 to 100. I need to calculate the equivalent value in a new range, let's say from 0 to 500.
This new value is obviously 25, and i know how to calculate it.
The question is, is there a mathematical name for this type of conversion??
