Calculate - Determine a quantitative value by means of a numerical proccess, whether manual, mental, mechanical or electronic.
Celsius - Also known as centigrade. Divides the range between the freezing and boiling points of water into 100 equal parts on the temperature scale.
Center - The point in a plane equidistant from every point on a given circle or arc. In space, the point equidistant from every point on the surface of a given sphere.
Central angle - An angle having its vertex at the center of a given circle. The measure of the angle is equal to the measure of the intercepted arc of the circle.
Circle - A closed, curved, plane figure with every point on the curve equidistant from the center. See Locus, Sphere.
Coefficient - A scalar multiplier shown before a variable. Tells the amount by which to multiply the variable expression.
Commutative - Two values in an addition can be exchanged with each other without changing the result of the calculation. Two values in a multiplications can be exchanged with each other without changing the result of the calculation. See associative property.
Composite number - A whole number (integer) which can be divided into smaller whole numbers. Has factors.
Concentric - Having the same center, as in circles or arcs.
Congruent - Same shape, same size. See Similar.
Contiguous - Connected throughout.
Continuous - Defined everywhere. For a function, there is a value of the dependent variable (output) defined for every value of the independent variable (input).
Contradict - Even one contradiction shows a statement to be false.
Conversion - Changing a measurement from one unit to another. See unit conversion.
Coordinates - A list of values specifying the location of a point on a graph or a location in space. Each value defines a position (coordinate) along one dimension defining the location.
Cosecant - In a right triangle, for a given angle, the ratio of the length of the hypotenuse divided by the length of the opposite leg (the side away from the measured angle . In an expression, abbreviated "csc." See trigonometric function.
Cosine - In a right triangle, for a given angle, the ratio of the length of the adjacent leg (the side next to the measured angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse. In an expression, abbreviated "cos." See trigonometric function.
Counterexample - See contradiction.
