Parameter

[Pa*ram·e*ter]

A parameter is a limit. In mathematics a parameter is a constant in an equation, but parameter isn’t just for math anymore: now any system can have parameters that define its operation. You can set parameters for your class debate.

...

A term applied to some characteristic magnitude whose value, invariable as long as one and the same function, curve, surface, etc., is considered, serves to distinguish that function, curve, surface, etc., from others of the same kind or family.

Noun
a constant in the equation of a curve that can be varied to yield a family of similar curves

Noun
a quantity (such as the mean or variance) that characterizes a statistical population and that can be estimated by calculations from sample data

Noun
any factor that defines a system and determines (or limits) its performance


n.
A term applied to some characteristic magnitude whose value, invariable as long as one and the same function, curve, surface, etc., is considered, serves to distinguish that function, curve, surface, etc., from others of the same kind or family.

n.
Specifically (Conic Sections), in the ellipse and hyperbola, a third proportional to any diameter and its conjugate, or in the parabola, to any abscissa and the corresponding ordinate.

n.
The ratio of the three crystallographic axes which determines the position of any plane; also, the fundamental axial ratio for a given species.
