The act or process of increasing; growth in bulk,             guantity, number, value, or amount; augmentation;             enlargement.                         The seminary that furnisheth matter for the                      formation and increment of animal and vegetable                      bodies.                                             --Woodward.                         A nation, to be great, ought to be compressed in its                      increment by nations more civilized than itself.                                                                               --Coleridge.          2. Matter added; increase; produce; production; -- opposed to             {decrement}. [bd]Large increment.[b8] --J. Philips.          3. (Math.) The increase of a variable quantity or fraction             from its present value to its next ascending value; the             finite quantity, generally variable, by which a variable             quantity is increased.          4. (Rhet.) An amplification without strict climax, as in the             following passage:                         Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true,                      whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are                      just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things                      are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, .                      . . think on these things.                  --Phil. iv. 8.          {Infinitesimal increment} (Math.), an infinitesimally small             variation considered in Differential Calculus. See             {Calculus}.          {Method of increments} (Math.), a calculus founded on the             properties of the successive values of variable quantities             and their differences or increments. It differs from the             method of fluxions in treating these differences as             finite, instead of infinitely small, and is equivalent to             the calculus of finite differences.

Indivisible \In`di*vis"i*ble\, n.       1. That which is indivisible.                         By atom, nobody will imagine we intend to express a                      perfect indivisible, but only the least sort of                      natural bodies.                                 --Digby.          2. (Geom.) An infinitely small quantity which is assumed to             admit of no further division.          {Method of indivisibles}, a kind of calculus, formerly in             use, in which lines were considered as made up of an             infinite number of points; surfaces, as made up of an             infinite number of lines; and volumes, as made up of an             infinite number of surfaces.
