Prick :: Prick (v.) A mathematical point; -- regularly used in old English translations of Euclid.

Temperament :: Temperament (v. t.) A system of compromises in the tuning of organs, pianofortes, and the like, whereby the tones generated with the vibrations of a ground tone are mutually modified and in part canceled, until their number reduced to the actual practicable scale of twelve tones to the octave. This scale, although in so far artificial, is yet closely suggestive of its origin in nature, and this system of tuning, although not mathematically true, yet satisfies the ear, while it has the convenienc

Degree :: Degree (n.) A division, space, or interval, marked on a mathematical or other instrument, as on a thermometer..

Cone :: Cone (n.) Anything shaped more or less like a mathematical cone; as, a volcanic cone, a collection of scoriae around the crater of a volcano, usually heaped up in a conical form..

Cipher :: Cipher (v. i.) To use figures in a mathematical process; to do sums in arithmetic.

Base :: Base (n.) The number from which a mathematical table is constructed; as, the base of a system of logarithms..

Monochord :: Monochord (n.) An instrument for experimenting upon the mathematical relations of musical sounds. It consists of a single string stretched between two bridges, one or both of which are movable, and which stand upon a graduated rule for the purpose of readily changing and measuring the length of the part of the string between them..

Blackboard :: Blackboard (n.) A broad board painted black, or any black surface on which writing, drawing, or the working of mathematical problems can be done with chalk or crayons. It is much used in schools..

Cursor :: Cursor (n.) Any part of a mathematical instrument that moves or slides backward and forward upon another part.

Diesis :: Diesis (n.) A small interval, less than any in actual practice, but used in the mathematical calculation of intervals..

Box :: Box (n.) A tree or shrub, flourishing in different parts of the world. The common box (Buxus sempervirens) has two varieties, one of which, the dwarf box (B. suffruticosa), is much used for borders in gardens. The wood of the tree varieties, being very hard and smooth, is extensively used in the arts, as by turners, engravers, mathematical instrument makers, etc..

Vary :: Vary (v. i.) To alter or change in succession; to alternate; as, one mathematical quantity varies inversely as another..

Diagram :: Diagram (n.) Any simple drawing made for mathematical or scientific purposes, or to assist a verbal explanation which refers to it; a mechanical drawing, as distinguished from an artistical one..

Result :: Result (n.) That which results; the conclusion or end to which any course or condition of things leads, or which is obtained by any process or operation; consequence or effect; as, the result of a course of action; the result of a mathematical operation..

Represent :: Represent (v. t.) To serve as a sign or symbol of; as, mathematical symbols represent quantities or relations; words represent ideas or things..

Calculating :: Calculating (n.) The act or process of making mathematical computations or of estimating results.

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..

Spiral :: Spiral (a.) A plane curve, not reentrant, described by a point, called the generatrix, moving along a straight line according to a mathematical law, while the line is revolving about a fixed point called the pole. Cf. Helix..

Operand :: Operand (n.) The symbol, quantity, or thing upon which a mathematical operation is performed; -- called also faciend..
