Absolute Number, in Algebra, that term or number of an equation, that is completely known. Abundant Number, in Arithmetic, a number the sum of whose ali. quot parts is greater than the number itself. Accelerated Motion, that which receives fresh accessions of velocity, either uniform or variable. Adjacent angle, in Geometry, an angle which is immediately conti guous to another, so that they have one common side. Affected or Adfected Equation, in Algebra, one which contains two, or more several powers of the unknown quantity. Affirmative or Posilive quantity; one, which is to be added, or taken effectively. Algebra, a method of performing the calculations of all kinds of quantities by means of general signs or characters.

Analysis, the method of resolving problems by reducing them to equations. Angle in geometry, the mutual inclination of two lines, or two planes. Approrimation, a continual approach, nearer and nearer to a root or any quantity sought. Apses or Apsides, are the two points in the orbits of planets, when they are at their greatest and least distance from the sun or the earth, and the line which joins them is called the sign of Apsides. Asymptote, properly a right line which approaches nearer and nearer to some curve, or it may be considered as a tangent to the curve, when conceived to be infinitely produced. Ariom, a self-evident truth, or a proposition immediately asserted to, when the terms of it are properly understood.
