Delta
(gcide) | Delta \Del"ta\, n.; pl. Deltas. [Gr. de`lta, the name of the
fourth letter of the Greek alphabet (the capital form of
which is [Delta], Eng. D), from the Ph[oe]nician name of the
corresponding letter. The Greeks called the alluvial deposit
at the mouth of the Nile, from its shape, the Delta of the
Nile.]
1. The fourth letter of the Greek alphabet ([Delta] [delta]),
corresponding to D. Hence, an object having the shape of
the capital [Delta].
[Webster 1913 Suppl.]
2. A tract of land shaped like the letter delta ([Delta]),
especially when the land is alluvial and inclosed between
two or more mouths of a river; as, the delta of the
Ganges, of the Nile, or of the Mississippi.
[1913 Webster]
3. (Elec.) The closed figure produced by connecting three
coils or circuits successively, end for end, esp. in a
three-phase system; -- often used attributively, as delta
winding, delta connection (which see), etc.

1. A quantitative change, especially a small or incremental
one (this use is general in physics and engineering). "I just
doubled the speed of my program!" "What was the delta on
program size?" "About 30 percent." (He doubled the speed of
his program, but increased its size by only 30 percent.)
2. [Unix] A diff, especially a diff stored under the set
of version-control tools called SCCS (Source Code Control
System) or RCS (Revision Control System). See {change

3. A small quantity, but not as small as epsilon. The
jargon usage of delta and epsilon stems from the
traditional use of these letters in mathematics for very small
numerical quantities, particularly in "epsilon-delta" proofs
in limit theory (as in the differential calculus). The term
delta is often used, once epsilon has been mentioned, to
mean a quantity that is slightly bigger than epsilon but
still very small. "The cost isn't epsilon, but it's delta"
means that the cost isn't totally negligible, but it is
nevertheless very small. Common constructions include "within
delta of ---", "within epsilon of ---": that is, "close to"
and "even closer to".

A chemical substance (C21H20O2) which is produced by the
hemp plant (Cannabis sativa), and is the physiologically
active agent of dried preparations of that plant, called
variously marijuana, hashish, ganja, hemp, etc.; also called
THC. It causes the euphoric effect for which the
preparations are smoked or chewed. It is used in medicine in
a purified form as an antiemetic (an antinausea agent),
especially in conjunction with chemotherapy of cancer. It
occurs primarily as the [Delta]1-3,4-trans isomer, also
called [Delta]9-THC, with small amounts of the
[Delta]6-3,4-trans isomer detectable at about 1%. It is a
controlled substance, classified as a hallucinogen, and its
possession or distribution is illegal in almost all states of
the United States. --MI11

delta conversion
(foldoc) | delta reduction
delta conversion
In lambda-calculus extended with constants, delta
reduction replaces a function applied to the required number
of arguments (a redex) by a result. E.g. plus 2 3 --> 5.
In contrast with beta reduction (the only kind of reduction
in the pure lambda-calculus) the result is not formed simply
by textual substitution of arguments into the body of a
function. Instead, a delta redex is matched against the left
hand side of all delta rules and is replaced by the right hand
side of the (first) matching rule. There is notionally one
delta rule for each possible combination of function and
arguments. Where this implies an infinite number of rules,
the result is usually defined by reference to some external
system such as mathematical addition or the hardware
operations of some computer. For other types, all rules can
be given explicitly, for example Boolean negation:
not True = False
not False = True
