2. (Mus.) Relating to harmony, -- as melodic relates to
melody; harmonious; esp., relating to the accessory sounds
or overtones which accompany the predominant and apparent
single tone of any string or sonorous body.

3. (Math.) Having relations or properties bearing some

Harmonic interval (Mus.), the distance between two notes of
a chord, or two consonant notes.
Harmonical mean (Arith. & Alg.), certain relations of
numbers and quantities, which bear an analogy to musical
consonances.
Harmonic motion, the motion of the point A, of the foot of
the perpendicular PA, when P moves uniformly in the
circumference of a circle, and PA is drawn perpendicularly
upon a fixed diameter of the circle. This is simple
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.
Harmonic proportion. See under Proportion.
Harmonic series or Harmonic progression. See under
Progression.
Spherical harmonic analysis, a mathematical method,
sometimes referred to as that of Laplace's Coefficients,
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.
Harmonic suture (Anat.), an articulation by simple
apposition of comparatively smooth surfaces or edges, as
between the two superior maxillary bones in man; -- called
also harmonia, and harmony.

Harmonical proportion
(gcide) | Proportion \Pro*por"tion\, n. [F., fr. L. proportio; pro before
+ portio part or share. See Portion.]
[1913 Webster]
1. The relation or adaptation of one portion to another, or
to the whole, as respect magnitude, quantity, or degree;
comparative relation; ratio; as, the proportion of the
parts of a building, or of the body.
[1913 Webster]

--Ridley.
[1913 Webster]

5. (Math.)
(a) The equality or similarity of ratios, especially of
geometrical ratios; or a relation among quantities
such that the quotient of the first divided by the
second is equal to that of the third divided by the
fourth; -- called also geometrical proportion, in
distinction from arithmetical proportion, or that in
which the difference of the first and second is equal
to the difference of the third and fourth.
[1913 Webster]
Note: Proportion in the mathematical sense differs from
ratio. Ratio is the relation of two quantities of the
same kind, as the ratio of 5 to 10, or the ratio of 8
to 16. Proportion is the sameness or likeness of two
such relations. Thus, 5 to 10 as 8 to 16; that is, 5
bears the same relation to 10 as 8 does to 16. Hence,
such numbers are said to be in proportion. Proportion
is expressed by symbols thus:
[1913 Webster] a:b::c:d, or a:b = c:d, or a/b = c/d.
[1913 Webster]
(b) The rule of three, in arithmetic, in which the three
given terms, together with the one sought, are
proportional.
[1913 Webster]
Continued proportion, Inverse proportion, etc. See under
Continued, Inverse, etc.
Harmonical proportion or Musical proportion, a relation
of three or four quantities, such that the first is to the
last as the difference between the first two is to the
difference between the last two; thus, 2, 3, 6, are in
harmonical proportion; for 2 is to 6 as 1 to 3. Thus, 24,
16, 12, 9, are harmonical, for 24:9::8:3.
In proportion, according as; to the degree that. "In
proportion as they are metaphysically true, they are
morally and politically false." --Burke.
