Bulk :: Bulk (n.) Magnitude of material substance; dimensions; mass; size; as, an ox or ship of great bulk..

Fluxion :: Fluxion (n.) A method of analysis developed by Newton, and based on the conception of all magnitudes as generated by motion, and involving in their changes the notion of velocity or rate of change. Its results are the same as those of the differential and integral calculus, from which it differs little except in notation and logical method..

Cepheus :: Cepheus (n.) A northern constellation near the pole. Its head, which is in the Milky Way, is marked by a triangle formed by three stars of the fourth magnitude. See Cassiopeia..

Surface :: Surface (n.) A magnitude that has length and breadth without thickness; superficies; as, a plane surface; a spherical surface..

Axis :: Axis (n.) A straight line with respect to which the different parts of a magnitude are symmetrically arranged; as, the axis of a cylinder, i. e., the axis of a cone, that is, the straight line joining the vertex and the center of the base; the axis of a circle, any straight line passing through the center..

Generation :: Generation (n.) The formation or production of any geometrical magnitude, as a line, a surface, a solid, by the motion, in accordance with a mathematical law, of a point or a magnitude; as, the generation of a line or curve by the motion of a point, of a surface by a line, a sphere by a semicircle, etc..

Bisegment :: Bisegment (n.) One of tow equal parts of a line, or other magnitude..

Astrometry :: Astrometry (n.) The art of making measurements among the stars, or of determining their relative magnitudes..

Affair :: Affair (n.) An action or engagement not of sufficient magnitude to be called a battle.

Algebra :: Algebra (n.) That branch of mathematics which treats of the relations and properties of quantity by means of letters and other symbols. It is applicable to those relations that are true of every kind of magnitude.

Big :: Big (superl.) Having largeness of size; of much bulk or magnitude; of great size; large.

Magnitude :: Magnitude (n.) That which has one or more of the three dimensions, length, breadth, and thickness..

Degrade :: Degrade (v. t.) To reduce in altitude or magnitude, as hills and mountains; to wear down..

Sized :: Sized (a.) Having a particular size or magnitude; -- chiefly used in compounds; as, large-sized; common-sized..

Gradient :: Gradient (n.) The rate of increase or decrease of a variable magnitude, or the curve which represents it; as, a thermometric gradient..

Point :: Point (n.) An indefinitely small space; a mere spot indicated or supposed. Specifically: (Geom.) That which has neither parts nor magnitude; that which has position, but has neither length, breadth, nor thickness, -- sometimes conceived of as the limit of a line; that by the motion of which a line is conceived to be produced..

Tremendous :: Tremendous (a.) Fitted to excite fear or terror; such as may astonish or terrify by its magnitude, force, or violence; terrible; dreadful; as, a tremendous wind; a tremendous shower; a tremendous shock or fall..

Lessen :: Lessen (v. i.) To become less; to shrink; to contract; to decrease; to be diminished; as, the apparent magnitude of objects lessens as we recede from them; his care, or his wealth, lessened..

Magnitude :: Magnitude (n.) Anything of which greater or less can be predicated, as time, weight, force, and the like..

Aldebaran :: Aldebaran (n.) A red star of the first magnitude, situated in the eye of Taurus; the Bull's Eye. It is the bright star in the group called the Hyades..
