Geometrical progression
(gcide) | Geometric \Ge`o*met"ric\, Geometrical \Ge`o*met"ric*al\, a. [L.
geometricus; Gr. ?: cf. F. g['e]om['e]trique.]
1. Pertaining to, or according to the rules or principles of,
geometry; determined by geometry; as, a geometrical
solution of a problem.
[1913 Webster]
2. (Art) characterized by simple geometric forms in design
and decoration; as, a buffalo hide painted with red and

Syn: geometric.
[WordNet 1.5]
Note: Geometric is often used, as opposed to algebraic, to
include processes or solutions in which the
propositions or principles of geometry are made use of
rather than those of algebra.
[1913 Webster]
Note: Geometrical is often used in a limited or strictly
technical sense, as opposed to mechanical; thus, a
construction or solution is geometrical which can be
made by ruler and compasses, i. e., by means of right
lines and circles. Every construction or solution which
requires any other curve, or such motion of a line or
circle as would generate any other curve, is not
geometrical, but mechanical. By another distinction, a
geometrical solution is one obtained by the rules of
geometry, or processes of analysis, and hence is exact;
while a mechanical solution is one obtained by trial,
by actual measurements, with instruments, etc., and is
only approximate and empirical.
[1913 Webster]

because their different points may be constructed by the
operations of elementary geometry.

harmonic motion. The combinations, in any way, of two or
more simple harmonic motions, make other kinds of harmonic
motion. The motion of the pendulum bob of a clock is
approximately simple harmonic motion.

which has for its object the expression of an arbitrary,
periodic function of two independent variables, in the
proper form for a large class of physical problems,
involving arbitrary data, over a spherical surface, and
the deduction of solutions for every point of space. The
functions employed in this method are called spherical
harmonic functions. --Thomson & Tait.

Progressive party
(gcide) | Progressive party \Progressive party\ (U. S. History)
The political party formed, chiefly out of the Republican
party, by the adherents of Theodore Roosevelt in the
presidential campaign of 1912. The name Progressive party was
chosen at the meeting held on Aug. 7, 1912, when the
candidates were nominated and the platform adopted. It was
also known as the Bull Moose Party. Among the chief
articles in the platform are those demanding direct
primaries, preferential primaries for presidential
nominations, direct election of United States senators,
women's suffrage, and recall of judicial decisions in certain
cases. In 1924 the label was also adopted by the party
supporting the presidential campaign of Robert M. La
Follette, and in 1948 it was also adopted by the party of
Henry Wallace. The party is no longer (1998) considered a
force in U. S. national politics.
