Sum :: Sum (n.) The aggregate of two or more numbers, magnitudes, quantities, or particulars; the amount or whole of any number of individuals or particulars added together; as, the sum of 5 and 7 is 12..

Pollux :: Pollux (n.) A fixed star of the second magnitude, in the constellation Gemini. Cf. 3d Castor..

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..

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..

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

Lineal :: Lineal (a.) In the direction of a line; of or pertaining to a line; measured on, or ascertained by, a line; linear; as, lineal magnitude..

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

Vega :: Vega (n.) A brilliant star of the first magnitude, the brightest of those constituting the constellation Lyra..

Intensity :: Intensity (n.) The magnitude of a distributed force, as pressure, stress, weight, etc., per unit of surface, or of volume, as the case may be; as, the measure of the intensity of a total stress of forty pounds which is distributed uniformly over a surface of four square inches area is ten pounds per square inch..

Shear :: Shear (v. t.) A strain, or change of shape, of an elastic body, consisting of an extension in one direction, an equal compression in a perpendicular direction, with an unchanged magnitude in the third direction..

Equality :: Equality (n.) Exact agreement between two expressions or magnitudes with respect to quantity; -- denoted by the symbol =; thus, a = x signifies that a contains the same number and kind of units of measure that x does..

Its results are the same as those of the differential and integral calculus, from which it differs little except in notation and logical method..
