definite integral
(gcide) | Integration \In`te*gra"tion\ ([i^]n`t[-e]*gr[=a]"sh[u^]n), n.
[L. integratio a renewing, restoring: cf. F. int['e]gration.]
[1913 Webster]
1. The act or process of making whole or entire.
[1913 Webster]
2. (Math.) The operation of finding the primitive function
which has a given function for its differential
coefficient. See Integral.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The symbol of integration is [integral2l] (standing for
the Latin summa sum), and the integral is also regarded
as the limiting value of the sum of great numbers of
differentials, when the magnitude of the differentials
decreases, and their number increases indefinitely. See
Limit, n. When the summation is made between
specified values of the variable, the result is a
definite integral, and those values of the variable
are the limits of the integral. When the summation is
made successively for two or more variables, the result
is a multiple integral.
[1913 Webster]

1. Of or pertaining to atoms.
[1913 Webster]
2. Extremely minute; tiny.
[1913 Webster]
Atomic bomb, see atom bomb in the vocabulary.
Atomic philosophy, or Doctrine of atoms, a system which,
assuming that atoms are endued with gravity and motion,
accounted thus for the origin and formation of all things.
This philosophy was first broached by Leucippus, was
developed by Democritus, and afterward improved by
Epicurus, and hence is sometimes denominated the Epicurean
philosophy.
Atomic theory, or the Doctrine of definite proportions
(Chem.), teaches that chemical combinations take place
between the supposed ultimate particles or atoms of
bodies, in some simple ratio, as of one to one, two to
three, or some other, always expressible in whole numbers.
Atomic weight (Chem.), the weight of the atom of an element
as compared with the weight of the atom of hydrogen, taken
as a standard.
