Plexus :: Plexus (n.) The system of equations required for the complete expression of the relations which exist between a set of quantities.

Resolution :: Resolution (n.) The act or process of solving; solution; as, the resolution of an equation or problem..

Numerical :: Numerical (n.) Belonging to number; denoting number; consisting in numbers; expressed by numbers, and not letters; as, numerical characters; a numerical equation; a numerical statement..

Degree :: Degree (n.) State as indicated by sum of exponents; more particularly, the degree of a term is indicated by the sum of the exponents of its literal factors; thus, a2b3c is a term of the sixth degree. The degree of a power, or radical, is denoted by its index, that of an equation by the greatest sum of the exponents of the unknown quantities in any term; thus, ax4 + bx2 = c, and mx2y2 + nyx = p, are both equations of the fourth degree..

Evection :: Evection () An inequality of the moon's motion is its orbit to the attraction of the sun, by which the equation of the center is diminished at the syzygies, and increased at the quadratures by about 1� 20'..

Biquadratic :: Biquadratic (n.) A biquadratic equation.

Transpose :: Transpose (v. t.) To bring, as any term of an equation, from one side over to the other, without destroying the equation; thus, if a + b = c, and we make a = c - b, then b is said to be transposed..

Equation :: Equation (n.) A quantity to be applied in computing the mean place or other element of a celestial body; that is, any one of the several quantities to be added to, or taken from, its position as calculated on the hypothesis of a mean uniform motion, in order to find its true position as resulting from its actual and unequal motion..

Eliminant :: Eliminant (n.) The result of eliminating n variables between n homogeneous equations of any degree; -- called also resultant.

Eliminate :: Eliminate (v. t.) To cause to disappear from an equation; as, to eliminate an unknown quantity..

Depression :: Depression (n.) The operation of reducing to a lower degree; -- said of equations.

Affected :: Affected (p. p. & a.) Made up of terms involving different powers of the unknown quantity; adfected; as, an affected equation..

Quadratics :: Quadratics (n.) That branch of algebra which treats of quadratic equations.

Folium :: Folium (n.) A curve of the third order, consisting of two infinite branches, which have a common asymptote. The curve has a double point, and a leaf-shaped loop; whence the name. Its equation is x3 + y3 = axy..

Inadequation :: Inadequation (n.) Want of exact correspondence.

Reduction :: Reduction (n.) The act or process of reducing. See Reduce, v. t., 6. and To reduce an equation, To reduce an expression, under Reduce, v. t..

Inequation :: Inequation (n.) An inequality.

Lituus :: Lituus (n.) A spiral whose polar equation is r2/ = a; that is, a curve the square of whose radius vector varies inversely as the angle which the radius vector makes with a given line..

Approximation :: Approximation (n.) A continual approach or coming nearer to a result; as, to solve an equation by approximation..
