- Quantic - n. - A homogeneous algebraic function of two or more variables, in general containing only positive integral powers of the variables, and called quadric, cubic, quartic, etc., according as it is of the second, third, fourth, fifth, or a higher degree. These are further called binary, ternary, quaternary, etc., according as they contain two, three, four, or more variables; thus, the quantic / is a binary cubic.
- Septic - n. - A quantic of the seventh degree.
- Octic - n. - A quantic of the eighth degree.
- Sextic - n. - A quantic of the sixth degree.
- Quartic - n. - A quantic of the fourth degree. See Quantic.
- Facient - n. - One of the variables of a quantic as distinguished from a coefficient.

- Quadric - n. - A quantic of the second degree. See Quantic.
- Quintic - n. - A quantic of the fifth degree. See Quantic.
- Covariant - n. - A function involving the coefficients and the variables of a quantic, and such that when the quantic is lineally transformed the same function of the new variables and coefficients shall be equal to the old function multiplied by a factor. An invariant is a like function involving only the coefficients of the quantic.
