distinction from arithmetical proportion, or that in
which the difference of the first and second is equal

Note: Proportion in the mathematical sense differs from

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: a:b::c:d, or a:b = c:d,
or a/b = c/d.
(b) The rule of three, in arithmetic, in which the three
given terms, together with the one sought, are

Harmonical, or Musical, proportion, a relation of three

proportion; for 2 is to 6 as 1 to 3. Thus, 24, 16, 12, 9,
are harmonical, for 24:9::8:3.

continued or continual proportion; as, 3:6::12:24.

Atomic philosophy, or Doctrine of atoms, a system which,
assuming that atoms are endued with gravity and motion,

Epicurus, and hence is sometimes denominated the Epicurean
philosophy.
