Ratio \Ra"ti*o\, n. [L., fr. reri, ratus, to reckon, believe,       think, judge. See {Reason}.]       1. (Math.) 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 [frac36] or [frac12];             of a to b by a/b; or (less commonly) the second is made             the dividend; as, a:b = b/a.          Note: Some writers consider ratio as the quotient itself,                making ratio equivalent to a number. The term ratio is                also sometimes applied to the difference of two                quantities as well as to their quotient, in which case                the former is called arithmetical ratio, the latter,                geometrical ratio. The name ratio is sometimes given to                the rule of three in arithmetic. See under {Rule}.          2. Hence, fixed relation of number, quantity, or degree;             rate; proportion; as, the ratio of representation in             Congress.          {Compound ratio}, {Duplicate ratio}, {Inverse ratio}, etc.             See under {Compound}, {Duplicate}, etc.          {Ratio of a geometrical progression}, the constant quantity             by which each term is multiplied to produce the succeeding             one.

There are cases, however, in which                   persuade may seem to be used in reference only to the                   assent of the understanding; as when we say, I am                   persuaded it is so; I can not persuade myself of the                   fact. But in such instances there is usually or always                   a degree of awakened feeling which has had its share                   in producing the assent of the understanding.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
combination          1. A {set} containing a certain number of       objects selected from another set.          The number of combinations of r objects chosen from a set of n       is          n C r = n! / ((n-r)! r!)          where "n C r" is normally with n and r as subscripts or as n       above r in parentheses.          See also {permutation}.          2. In the theory of {combinators}, a combination       denotes an expression in which {function application} is the       only operation.          (1995-04-10)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
combinator          A function with no {free variables}.   A term is       either a constant, a variable or of the form A B denoting the       {application} of term A (a function of one argument) to term       B.   {Juxtaposition} associates to the left in the absence of       parentheses.   All combinators can be defined from two basic       combinators - S and K.   These two and a third, I, are defined       thus:          S f g x = f x (g x)       K x y = x       I x = x = S K K x          There is a simple translation between {combinatory logic} and       {lambda-calculus}.   The size of equivalent expressions in the       two languages are of the same order.          Other combinators were added by {David Turner} in 1979 when he       used combinators to implement {SASL}:          B f g x = f (g x)       C f g x = f x g       S' c f g x = c (f x) (g x)       B* c f g x = c (f (g x))       C' c f g x = c (f x) g          See {fixed point combinator}, {curried function},       {supercombinator}s.          (2002-11-03)

combinatory logic          A system for reducing the operational notation of {logic},       mathematics or a {functional language} to a sequence of       modifications to the input data structure.   First introduced       in the 1920's by {Schoenfinkel}.   Re-introduced independently       by {Haskell Curry} in the late 1920's (who quickly learned of       Schoenfinkel's work after he had the idea).   Curry is really       responsible for most of the development, at least up until       work with Feys in 1958.          See {combinator}.          (1995-01-05)

component architecture          A notion in {object-oriented} programming where       "components" of a program are completely generic.   Instead of       having a specialised set of {methods} and {fields} they have       generic methods through which the component can advertise the       functionality it supports to the system into which it is       loaded.   This enables completely {dynamic loading} of       {objects}.   {JavaBeans} is an example of a component       architecture.          See also {design pattern}.          (1997-11-20)
