Quadrature

What do we mean by quadrature?

The process of making something square. noun

The process of constructing a square equal in area to a given surface. noun

A configuration in which the position of one celestial body is 90° from another celestial body as measured from a third body, typically Earth. noun

In electricity, phase difference of 90°, or one quarter period. noun

In geometry, the act of squaring an area; the finding of a square or several squares equal in area to a given surface. noun

A quadrate; a square space. noun

The relative position of two planets, or of a planet and the sun, when the difference of their longitudes is 90°. noun

But when armillæ were employed to observe the moon in other situations … a second inequality was discovered, which was connected, not with the anomalistical, but with the synodical revolution of the moon, disappearing in conjunctions and oppositions, and coming to its greatest amount in quadratures. What was most perplexing about this second inequality was that it did not return in every quadrature, but, though in some it amounted to 2° 39′ , in other quadratures it totally disappeared. noun

A side of a square. noun

The act of squaring; the finding of a square having the same area as some given curvilinear figure; ; the operation of finding an expression for the area of a figure bounded wholly or in part by a curved line, as by a curve, two ordinates, and the axis of abscissas. noun

A quadrate; a square. noun

The integral used in obtaining the area bounded by a curve; hence, the definite integral of the product of any function of one variable into the differential of that variable. noun

The position of one heavenly body in respect to another when distant from it 90°, or a quarter of a circle, as the moon when at an equal distance from the points of conjunction and opposition. noun

The position of the moon when one half of the disk is illuminated. noun

A point in an orbit which is at either extremity of the latus rectum drawn through the empty focus of the orbit. noun

The process of making something square; squaring noun

A situation in which three celestial bodies form a right-angled triangle, the observer being located at the right angle noun

The condition in which the phase angle between two alternating quantities is 90° noun

A painting painted on a wooden panel noun

The construction of a square having the same area as some other figure noun

The process of making something square; squaring.

The act or process of constructing a square that has the same area as a given plane figure, or of computing that area.

(numerical analysis) The calculation of a definite integral by numerical means.

The act or process of solving an indefinite integral by symbolic means.

A situation in which the directions of two celestial bodies (or a celestial body and the Sun) form a right-angle from the perspective of the observer.

The condition in which the phase angle between two alternating quantities is 90°.

A painting painted on a wooden panel.
