(Astron.)
A
quantity
to
be
applied
in
computing
the
mean
place
or
other
element
of
a
celestial
body
;
that
is
,
any
one
of
the
several
quantities
to
be
added
to
,
or
taken
from
,
its
position
as
calculated
on
the
hypothesis
of
a
mean
uniform
motion
,
in
order
to
find
its
true
position
as
resulting
from
its
actual
and
unequal
motion
.

Equation of the center
(Astron.)
the
difference
between
the
place
of
a
planet
as
supposed
to
move
uniformly
in
a
circle
,
and
its
place
as
moving
in
an
ellipse
.
Equations of condition
(Math.)
equations
formed
for
deducing
the
true
values
of
certain
quantities
from
others
on
which
they
depend
,
when
different
sets
of
the
latter
,
as
given
by
observation
,
would
yield
different
values
of
the
quantities
sought
,
and
the
number
of
equations
that
may
be
found
is
greater
than
the
number
of
unknown
quantities
.
Equation of a curve
(Math.)
an
equation
which
expresses
the
relation
between
the
coördinates
of
every
point
in
the
curve
.

difference
between
the
mean
and
apparent
places
of
the
equinox
.

(Arith.)
the
process
of
finding
the
mean
time
of
payment
of
several
sums
due
at
different
times
.
Equation of time
(Astron.)
the
difference
between
mean
and
apparent
time
,
or
between
the
time
of
day
indicated
by
the
sun
,
and
that
by
a
perfect
clock
going
uniformly
all
the
year
round
.

- Knight.
Personal equation
(Astron.)
the
difference
between
an
observed
result
and
the
true
qualities
or
peculiarities
in
the
observer
;
particularly
the
difference
,
in
an
average
of
a
large
number
of
observation
,
between
the
instant
when
an
observer
notes
a
phenomenon
,
as
the
transit
of
a
star
,
and
the
assumed
instant
of
its
actual
occurrence
;
or
,
relatively
,
the
difference
between
these
instants
as
noted
by
two
observers
.
It
is
usually
only
a
fraction
of
a
second
; -
sometimes
applied
loosely
to
differences
of
judgment
or
method
occasioned
by
temperamental
qualities
of
individuals
.
