The relative rate of change of a function f(x) is the ratio if its derivative to itself, namely R(f(x))=(f^'(x))/(f(x)).

The ratio of a measure of the size of a "fit" to the size of a "residual."

Two lengths are called incommensurate or incommensurable if their ratio cannot be expressed as a ratio of whole numbers. Irrational numbers and transcendental numbers are ...

Any two ranges {ABC...} and {A^'B^'C^'...} which are situated on the same or different lines are said to be homographic when the cross ratio of any four points on one range ...

Cut a sphere by a plane in such a way that the volumes of the spherical segments have a given ratio.

A necessary and sufficient condition for a curve to be a helix is that the ratio of curvature to torsion be constant.

The ratio of the absolute frequency to the total number of data points in a frequency distribution.

Arnauld's paradox states that if negative numbers exist, then (-1)/1 must equal 1/(-1), which asserts that the ratio of a smaller to a larger quantity equals the ratio of the ...

The golden gnomon is the obtuse isosceles triangle whose ratio of side to base lengths is given by 1/phi=phi-1, where phi is the golden ratio. Such a triangle has angles of ...

The angle bisector of an angle in a triangle divides the opposite side in the same ratio as the sides adjacent to the angle.
