Finite

What do we mean by finite?

Having bounds; limited. adjective

Existing, persisting, or enduring for a limited time only; impermanent. adjective

Being neither infinite nor infinitesimal. adjective

Having a positive or negative numerical value; not zero. adjective

Possible to reach or exceed by counting. Used of a number. adjective

Having a limited number of elements. Used of a set. adjective

Of or relating to any of the forms of a verb that can occur on their own in a main clause and that can formally express distinctions in person, number, tense, mood, and voice, often by means of conjugation, as the verb sees in She sees the sign. adjective

A finite thing. noun

Not too great nor too small to be naturally susceptible of measurement, whether measurable by us or not; not infinite nor infinitesimal.

The following are the special significations of the word: As applied to a class or integer number, capable of being completely counted: this is the fundamental meaning. This distinction between a finite and an infinite class is very important, because there is a peculiar mode of reasoning, called by logicians reasoning by transposed quantity, which is applicable to finite classes alone. The following syllogism is an example: “Every Hottentot kills a Hottentot; but no Hottentot is killed by more than one Hottentot; hence, every Hottentot is killed by a Hottentot.” If by the Hottentots is here meant a class of which a complete census might be taken, this conclusion must be true, provided the premises are true. But if the generations of Hottentots are everlasting, each Hottentot might kill one of his children, and yet some Hottentots might die natural deaths. Reasoning by transposed quantity is indispensable in the higher arithmetic and algebra; and consequently in these branches of mathematics the distinction between finite and infinite classes is very important.

As applied to continuous quantity, smaller than a suitably chosen finite number multiplied into the unit of measurement, and larger than a suitably chosen finite number divided by the unit of measurement.

In grammar, limited by person; personal; strictly verbal; not infinitival nor participial.

Subject to limitations or conditions, such as those of space, time, circumstances, and the laws of nature: as, a finite being; finite existence or duration.

Of or pertaining or relating to finite beings: as, finite passions or interests.

In mathematics, an integral is said to be expressed in finite terms when it is expressed without resort to an infinite series, although it may be expressed by means of exponential, elliptic, or Abelian functions which are synonymous with infinite series; but frequently expressions involving higher kinds of functions than the exponential and trigonometric are excluded.

That which is finite; finite things collectively: used only with the definite article. noun

To limit; fix the limits of.

Having a limit; limited in quantity, degree, or capacity; bounded; -- opposed to infinite adjective

Having an end or limit; (of a quantity) constrained by bounds; (of a set) whose number of elements is a natural number.

(grammar, as opposed to infinite or nonfinite) limited by person or number.

Opposite of "infinite". Means something that is limited, and is not "in-finite" Urban Dictionary

The unwanted lovechild of Statistics and Linear Algebra that almost every student at Indiana University is required to endure before graduation. This class seperates the boys from the men and the girls from the women. You will, like most people, probably go into this class as a stupid first semester freshman (even though your advisor told you to take M-018 or "pre-finite") and immediately find yourself immensed in tears, suicidal thoughts, stress, and mass amounts of online homework. The tests are made impossible on purpose, aiming to get as many people to drop the class as possible. Every day, the 400-person lectures get smaller because more innocent souls are banished and more helpless individuals are inspired to drop out of IU and live on the streets because they know they have no chance at a successful life without passing Finite. Urban Dictionary

/ˈɪn-ˈfʌɪnʌɪt/ Informal (Adjective) Seemingly limitless and endless space, extent or size that in reality is very specifically limited even if it is impossible to measure exactly using current human methods. Not to be confused with the definition finite where the extent is measurable and known exactly. Urban Dictionary
