-ics
(gcide) | -ics \-ics\
A suffix used in forming the names of certain sciences,
systems, etc., as acoustics, mathematics, dynamics,
statistics, politics, athletics.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The names sciences ending in ics, as mathematics,
mechanics, metaphysics, optics, etc., are, with respect
to their form, nouns in the plural number. The plural
form was probably introduced to mark the complex nature
of such sciences; and it may have been in imitation of
the use of the Greek plurals ?, ?, ?, ?, etc., to
designate parts of Aristotle's writings. Previously to
the present century, nouns ending in ics were construed
with a verb or a pronoun in the plural; but it is now
generally considered preferable to treat them as
singular. In Greman we have die Mathematik, die
Mechanik, etc., and in French la metaphysique, la
optique, etc., corresponding to our mathematics,
mechanics, metaphysics, optics, etc.
[1913 Webster]
Mathematics have for their object the

Davidson.
The citations subjoined will serve as examples of the
best present usage.
[1913 Webster]
Ethics is the sciences of the laws which govern
our actions as moral agents. --Sir W.
Hamilton.
[1913 Webster]
All parts of knowledge have their origin in
metaphysics, and finally, perhaps, revolve into
it. --De Quincey.
[1913 Webster]
Mechanics, like pure mathematics, may be
geometrical, or may be analytical; that is, it
may treat space either by a direct consideration
of its properties, or by a symbolical
representation. --Whewell.

Abstract mathematics
(gcide) | Abstract \Ab"stract`\ (#; 277), a. [L. abstractus, p. p. of
abstrahere to draw from, separate; ab, abs + trahere to draw.
See Trace.]
1. Withdraw; separate. [Obs.]
[1913 Webster]
The more abstract . . . we are from the body.
--Norris.
[1913 Webster]
2. Considered apart from any application to a particular
object; separated from matter; existing in the mind only;
as, abstract truth, abstract numbers. Hence: ideal;
abstruse; difficult.
[1913 Webster]
3. (Logic)
(a) Expressing a particular property of an object viewed
apart from the other properties which constitute it;
-- opposed to concrete; as, honesty is an abstract
word. --J. S. Mill.
(b) Resulting from the mental faculty of abstraction;
general as opposed to particular; as, "reptile" is an
abstract or general name. --Locke.
[1913 Webster]
A concrete name is a name which stands for a
thing; an abstract name which stands for an
attribute of a thing. A practice has grown up in
more modern times, which, if not introduced by
Locke, has gained currency from his example, of
applying the expression "abstract name" to all
names which are the result of abstraction and
generalization, and consequently to all general
names, instead of confining it to the names of
attributes. --J. S. Mill.
[1913 Webster]
4. Abstracted; absent in mind. "Abstract, as in a trance."
--Milton.
[1913 Webster]
An abstract idea (Metaph.), an idea separated from a
complex object, or from other ideas which naturally
accompany it; as the solidity of marble when contemplated
apart from its color or figure.
Abstract terms, those which express abstract ideas, as
beauty, whiteness, roundness, without regarding any object
in which they exist; or abstract terms are the names of
orders, genera or species of things, in which there is a
combination of similar qualities.
Abstract numbers (Math.), numbers used without application
to things, as 6, 8, 10; but when applied to any thing, as
6 feet, 10 men, they become concrete.
Abstract mathematics or Pure mathematics. See
Mathematics.

laws.
[1913 Webster]
Acoustics, then, or the science of sound, is a very
considerable branch of physics. --Sir J.
Herschel.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The science is, by some writers, divided, into
diacoustics, which explains the properties of sounds
coming directly from the ear; and catacoustica, which
treats of reflected sounds or echoes.
[1913 Webster] |
adaptive optics
(gcide) | adaptive optics \adaptive optics\ n. (Astron.)
an optical system used in some telescopes since the 1980's
which rapidly changes the shape of the primary reflecting
