Cauchy's Inequality: Also known as

Cauchy's Inequality is also known as the Cauchy-Schwarz Inequality.

However, that name is also given to the more general Cauchy-Bunyakovsky-Schwarz Inequality, and so will not be used in this context on $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$.

Some sources refer to this as the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality for sums.
