Numerical :: Numerical (n.) Belonging to number; denoting number; consisting in numbers; expressed by numbers, and not letters; as, numerical characters; a numerical equation; a numerical statement..

Equation :: Equation (n.) A quantity to be applied in computing the mean place or other element of a celestial body; that is, any one of the several quantities to be added to, or taken from, its position as calculated on the hypothesis of a mean uniform motion, in order to find its true position as resulting from its actual and unequal motion..

Lima/on :: Lima/on (n.) A curve of the fourth degree, invented by Pascal. Its polar equation is r = a cos / + b..

Eliminant :: Eliminant (n.) The result of eliminating n variables between n homogeneous equations of any degree; -- called also resultant.

Quadratics :: Quadratics (n.) That branch of algebra which treats of quadratic equations.

Elimination :: Elimination (n.) Act of causing a quantity to disappear from an equation; especially, in the operation of deducing from several equations containing several unknown quantities a less number of equations containing a less number of unknown quantities..

Order :: Order (n.) Rank; degree; thus, the order of a curve or surface is the same as the degree of its equation..

Approximation :: Approximation (n.) A continual approach or coming nearer to a result; as, to solve an equation by approximation..

Degree :: Degree (n.) State as indicated by sum of exponents; more particularly, the degree of a term is indicated by the sum of the exponents of its literal factors; thus, a2b3c is a term of the sixth degree. The degree of a power, or radical, is denoted by its index, that of an equation by the greatest sum of the exponents of the unknown quantities in any term; thus, ax4 + bx2 = c, and mx2y2 + nyx = p, are both equations of the fourth degree..

Inadequation :: Inadequation (n.) Want of exact correspondence.

Exegesis :: Exegesis (n.) The process of finding the roots of an equation.

Depress :: Depress (v. t.) To reduce (an equation) in a lower degree.

Conversion :: Conversion (n.) A change or reduction of the form or value of a proposition; as, the conversion of equations; the conversion of proportions..

Plexus :: Plexus (n.) The system of equations required for the complete expression of the relations which exist between a set of quantities.

Adequation :: Adequation (n.) The act of equalizing; act or result of making adequate; an equivalent.

Affected :: Affected (p. p. & a.) Made up of terms involving different powers of the unknown quantity; adfected; as, an affected equation..

Transpose :: Transpose (v. t.) To bring, as any term of an equation, from one side over to the other, without destroying the equation; thus, if a + b = c, and we make a = c - b, then b is said to be transposed..

Quadric :: Quadric (n.) A surface whose equation in three variables is of the second degree. Spheres, spheroids, ellipsoids, paraboloids, hyperboloids, also cones and cylinders with circular bases, are quadrics..

Acnode :: Acnode (n.) An isolated point not upon a curve, but whose coordinates satisfy the equation of the curve so that it is considered as belonging to the curve..

Auxiliary :: Auxiliary (sing.) A quantity introduced for the purpose of simplifying or facilitating some operation, as in equations or trigonometrical formulae..
