Add :: Add (v. t.) To join or unite, as one thing to another, or as several particulars, so as to increase the number, augment the quantity, enlarge the magnitude, or so as to form into one aggregate. Hence: To sum up; to put together mentally; as, to add numbers; to add up a column..

Procyon :: Procyon (n.) A star of the first magnitude in the constellation Canis Minor, or the Little Dog..

Equivalent :: Equivalent (a.) Equal in measure but not admitting of superposition; -- applied to magnitudes; as, a square may be equivalent to a triangle..

Rigel :: Rigel (n.) A fixed star of the first magnitude in the left foot of the constellation Orion.

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..

Screw :: Screw (n.) A straight line in space with which a definite linear magnitude termed the pitch is associated (cf. 5th Pitch, 10 (b)). It is used to express the displacement of a rigid body, which may always be made to consist of a rotation about an axis combined with a translation parallel to that axis..

Viaduct :: Viaduct (n.) A structure of considerable magnitude, usually with arches or supported on trestles, for carrying a road, as a railroad, high above the ground or water; a bridge; especially, one for crossing a valley or a gorge. Cf. Trestlework..

Canopus :: Canopus (n.) A star of the first magnitude in the southern constellation Argo.

Manifoldness :: Manifoldness (n.) A generalized concept of magnitude.

Scalar :: Scalar (n.) In the quaternion analysis, a quantity that has magnitude, but not direction; -- distinguished from a vector, which has both magnitude and direction..

Magnitude :: Magnitude (n.) Greatness; grandeur.

Generatrix :: Generatrix (n.) That which generates; the point, or the mathematical magnitude, which, by its motion, generates another magnitude, as a line, surface, or solid; -- called also describent..

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..

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

Fraction :: Fraction (n.) One or more aliquot parts of a unit or whole number; an expression for a definite portion of a unit or magnitude.

Circumscription :: Circumscription (n.) The exterior line which determines the form or magnitude of a body; outline; periphery.

Arcturus :: Arcturus (n.) A fixed star of the first magnitude in the constellation Bootes.

Vector :: Vector (n.) A directed quantity, as a straight line, a force, or a velocity. Vectors are said to be equal when their directions are the same their magnitudes equal. Cf. Scalar..

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

Mathematics :: Mathematics (n.) That science, or class of sciences, which treats of the exact relations existing between quantities or magnitudes, and of the methods by which, in accordance with these relations, quantities sought are deducible from other quantities known or supposed; the science of spatial and quantitative relations..
