Constantine (/ ˈ k ɒ n s t ən t aɪ n / or / ˈ k ɒ n s t ən t iː n /; Latin: Cōnstantīnus, Greek: Κωνσταντῖνος, Kōnstantînos) is a masculine and feminine (in French for example) given name and surname which is derived from the Latin name Constantinus, [1] a hypocoristic of the first names Constans and Constantius, both meaning "constant, steadfast" in Latin. [2]
Constance is a primarily feminine given name in use since the Middle Ages that is derived either from Constantia, a Late Latin name, or from the term meaning steadfast. [1] In medieval England, diminutives of the name included Cust or Cussot. Puritans used Con, Constant, and Constancy. [2]
Physical constant, a physical quantity generally believed to be universal and unchanging; Constant (computer programming), a value that, unlike a variable, cannot be reassociated with a different value; Logical constant, a symbol in symbolic logic that has the same meaning in all models, such as the symbol "=" for "equals"
In mathematics, the word constant conveys multiple meanings. As an adjective, it refers to non-variance (i.e. unchanging with respect to some other value); as a noun, it has two different meanings: A fixed and well-defined number or other non-changing mathematical object, or the symbol denoting it.
Holding all other things constant is directly analogous to using a partial derivative in calculus rather than a total derivative, and to running a regression containing multiple variables rather than just one in order to isolate the individual effect of one of the variables. Ceteris paribus is an extension of scientific modeling.
The Pali word for impermanence, anicca, is a compound word consisting of "a" meaning non-, and "nicca" meaning "constant, continuous, permanent". [1] While 'nicca' is the concept of continuity and permanence, 'anicca' refers to its exact opposite; the absence of permanence and continuity. The term is synonymous with the Sanskrit term anitya (a ...
The Avogadro constant, commonly denoted N A [1] or L, [2] is an SI defining constant with an exact value of 6.022 140 76 × 10 23 mol −1 (reciprocal moles). [3] [4] It is this defined number of constituent particles (usually molecules, atoms, ions, or ion pairs—in general, entities) per mole and used as a normalization factor in relating the amount of substance, n(X), in a sample of a ...
