Ratio :: Ratio (n.) The relation which one quantity or magnitude has to another of the same kind. It is expressed by the quotient of the division of the first by the second; thus, the ratio of 3 to 6 is expressed by / or /; of a to b by a/b; or (less commonly) the second term is made the dividend; as, a:b = b/a..

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..

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

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

Mass :: Mass (n.) Bulk; magnitude; body; size.

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..

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

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..

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..

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..

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.

Magnitude :: Magnitude (n.) Greatness, in reference to influence or effect; importance; as, an affair of magnitude..

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

Eagle :: Eagle (n.) A northern constellation, containing Altair, a star of the first magnitude. See Aquila..

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

Spica :: Spica (n.) A star of the first magnitude situated in the constellation Virgo.

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..

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

Spherics :: Spherics (n.) The doctrine of the sphere; the science of the properties and relations of the circles, figures, and other magnitudes of a sphere, produced by planes intersecting it; spherical geometry and trigonometry..

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