The portion one receives when a whole is distributed by a             rule or principle; equal or proper share; lot.                         Let the women . . . do the same things in their                      proportions and capacities.               --Jer. Taylor.          4. A part considered comparatively; a share.          5. (Math.)             (a) The equality or similarity of ratios, especially of                   geometrical ratios; or a relation among quantities                   such that the quotient of the first divided by the                   second is equal to that of the third divided by the                   fourth; -- called also {geometrical proportion}, in                   distinction from arithmetical proportion, or that in                   which the difference of the first and second is equal                   to the difference of the third and fourth.          Note: Proportion in the mathematical sense differs from                ratio. Ratio is the relation of two quantities of the                same kind, as the ratio of 5 to 10, or the ratio of 8                to 16. Proportion is the sameness or likeness of two                such relations. Thus, 5 to 10 as 8 to 16; that is, 5                bears the same relation to 10 as 8 does to 16. Hence,                such numbers are said to be in proportion. Proportion                is expressed by symbols thus: a:b::c:d, or a:b = c:d,                or a/b = c/d.             (b) The rule of three, in arithmetic, in which the three                   given terms, together with the one sought, are                   proportional.          {Continued proportion}, {Inverse proportion}, etc. See under             {Continued}, {Inverse}, etc.          {Harmonical, [or] Musical}, {proportion}, a relation of three             or four quantities, such that the first is to the last as             the difference between the first two is to the difference             between the last two; thus, 2, 3, 6, are in harmonical             proportion; for 2 is to 6 as 1 to 3. Thus, 24, 16, 12, 9,             are harmonical, for 24:9::8:3.          {In proportion}, according as; to the degree that. [bd]In             proportion as they are metaphysically true, they are             morally and politically false.[b8] --Burke.

Geometric \Ge`o*met"ric\, Geometrical \Ge`o*met"ric*al\, a. [L.       geometricus; Gr. [?]: cf. F. g[82]om[82]trique.]       Pertaining to, or according to the rules or principles of,       geometry; determined by geometry; as, a geometrical solution       of a problem.          Note: Geometric is often used, as opposed to algebraic, to                include processes or solutions in which the                propositions or principles of geometry are made use of                rather than those of algebra.          Note: Geometrical is often used in a limited or strictly                technical sense, as opposed to mechanical; thus, a                construction or solution is geometrical which can be                made by ruler and compasses, i. e., by means of right                lines and circles. Every construction or solution which                requires any other curve, or such motion of a line or                circle as would generate any other curve, is not                geometrical, but mechanical.

An instrument for measuring altitudes, variously             constructed and mounted for different specific uses in             astronomy, surveying, gunnery, etc., consisting commonly             of a graduated arc of 90[deg], with an index or vernier,             and either plain or telescopic sights, and usually having             a plumb line or spirit level for fixing the vertical or             horizontal direction.          {Gunner's quadrant}, an instrument consisting of a graduated             limb, with a plumb line or spirit level, and an arm by             which it is applied to a cannon or mortar in adjusting it             to the elevation required for attaining the desired range.                      {Gunter's quadrant}. See {Gunter's quadrant}, in the             Vocabulary.          {Hadley's quadrant}, a hand instrument used chiefly at sea to             measure the altitude of the sun or other celestial body in             ascertaining the vessel's position. It consists of a frame             in the form of an octant having a graduated scale upon its             arc, and an index arm, or alidade pivoted at its apex.             Mirrors, called the index glass and the horizon glass, are             fixed one upon the index arm and the other upon one side             of the frame, respectively. When the instrument is held             upright, the index arm may be swung so that the index             glass will reflect an image of the sun upon the horizon             glass, and when the reflected image of the sun coincides,             to the observer's eye, with the horizon as seen directly             through an opening at the side of the horizon glass, the             index shows the sun's altitude upon the scale; -- more             properly, but less commonly, called an octant.          {Quadrant of altitude}, an appendage of the artificial globe,             consisting of a slip of brass of the length of a quadrant             of one of the great circles of the globe, and graduated.             It may be fitted to the meridian, and being movable round             to all points of the horizon, serves as a scale in             measuring altitudes, azimuths, etc.
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Gunter's quadrant \Gun"ter's quad`rant\       A thin quadrant, made of brass, wood, etc., showing a       stereographic projection on the plane of the equator. By it       are found the hour of the day, the sun's azimuth, the       altitude of objects in degrees, etc. See {Gunter's scale}.
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Gunter's scale \Gun"ter's scale`\       A scale invented by the Rev. Edmund Gunter (1581-1626), a       professor of astronomy at Gresham College, London, who       invented also {Gunter's chain}, and {Gunter's quadrant}.          Note: Gunter's scale is a wooden rule, two feet long, on one                side of which are marked scales of equal parts, of                chords, sines, tangents, rhombs, etc., and on the other                side scales of logarithms of these various parts, by                means of which many problems in surveying and                navigation may be solved, mechanically, by the aid of                dividers alone.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
Gender and Ethnicity          Hackerdom is still predominantly male.   However, the percentage of    women is clearly higher than the low-single-digit range typical for    technical professions, and female hackers are generally respected and    dealt with as equals.          In the U.S., hackerdom is predominantly Caucasian with strong    minorities of Jews (East Coast) and Orientals (West Coast).   The Jewish    contingent has exerted a particularly pervasive cultural influence (see    {Food}, above, and note that several common jargon terms are obviously    mutated Yiddish).    No definitions found for "gender mender"       The ethnic distribution of hackers is understood by them to be a    function of which ethnic groups tend to seek and value education.    Racial and ethnic prejudice is notably uncommon and tends to be met with    freezing contempt.          When asked, hackers often ascribe their culture's gender- and    color-blindness to a positive effect of text-only network channels, and    this is doubtless a powerful influence.   Also, the ties many hackers    have to AI research and SF literature may have helped them to develop    an idea of personhood that is inclusive rather than exclusive -- after    all, if one's imagination readily grants full human rights to future AI    programs, robots, dolphins, and extraterrestrial aliens, mere color and    gender can't seem very important any more.
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
gender mender n.   [common] A cable connector shell with either    two male or two female connectors on it, used to correct the    mismatches that result when some {loser} didn't understand the    RS232C specification and the distinction between DTE and DCE.   Used    esp. for RS-232C parts in either the original D-25 or the IBM PC's    bogus D-9 format.   Also called `gender bender', `gender blender',    `sex changer', and even `homosexual adapter;' however, there appears    to be some confusion as to whether a `male homosexual adapter' has    pins on both sides (is doubly male) or sockets on both sides    (connects two males).
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
game tree          A {tree} representing contingencies in a game.   Each       {node} in a game tree represents a possible position (e.g.,       possible configuration of pieces on a chessboard) in the game,       and each branching ("edge" in graph terms) represents a       possible move.          (1998-11-14)
