Is there such a thing as a highly nonlinear function?
As professional mathematician I can confirm that “highly nonlinear” is not a mathematical precisely defined term. 🙂 And none of “highly anything” I can think of. Nonlinear is precise and opposite of linear (obviously). To emphasize the difference and presence of the constant term, the first function ( a x + b) is also called affine
