Learn \Learn\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Learned}, or {Learnt} ([?]);       p. pr. & vb. n. {Learning}.] [OE. lernen, leornen, AS.       leornian; akin to OS. lin[d3]n, for lirn[d3]n, OHG.       lirn[c7]n, lern[c7]n, G. lernen, fr. the root of AS. l[?]ran       to teach, OS. l[c7]rian, OHG. l[c7]ran, G. lehren, Goth.       laisjan, also Goth lais I know, leis acquainted (in comp.);       all prob. from a root meaning, to go, go over, and hence, to       learn; cf. AS. leoran to go . Cf. {Last} a mold of the foot,       {lore}.]       1. To gain knowledge or information of; to ascertain by             inquiry, study, or investigation; to receive instruction             concerning; to fix in the mind; to acquire understanding             of, or skill; as, to learn the way; to learn a lesson; to             learn dancing; to learn to skate; to learn the violin; to             learn the truth about something. [bd]Learn to do well.[b8]             --Is. i. 17.                         Now learn a parable of the fig tree.   --Matt. xxiv.                                                                               32.          2. To communicate knowledge to; to teach. [Obs.]                         Hast thou not learned me how To make perfumes ?                                                                               --Shak.          Note: Learn formerly had also the sense of teach, in                accordance with the analogy of the French and other                languages, and hence we find it with this sense in                Shakespeare, Spenser, and other old writers. This usage                has now passed away. To learn is to receive                instruction, and to teach is to give instruction. He                who is taught learns, not he who teaches.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
learning curve          A graph showing some measure of the cost of       performing some action against the number of times it has been       performed.   The term probably entered engineering via the       aircraft industry in the 1930s, where it was used to describe       plots showing the cost of making some particular design of       aeroplane against the number of units made.          The term is also used in psychology to mean a graph showing       some measure of something learned against the number of       trials.   The psychology graphs normally slope upward whereas       the manufacturing ones normally slope downward but they are       both usually steep to start with and then level out.          {Marketroids} often misuse the term to mean the amount of time       it takes to learn to use something ("reduce the learning       curve") or the ease of learning it ("easy learning curve").       The phrase "steep learning curve" is sometimes used       incorrectly to mean "hard to learn" whereas of course it       implies rapid learning.          {Engineering       (http://www.computerworld.com/cwi/story/0,1199,NAV47-68-85-1942_STO61762,00.html)}.          {Psychology       (http://sun.science.wayne.edu/~wpoff/cor/mem/opereinf.html)}.          (2002-01-22)
