Abacus A calculating device from the east constructed of beads sliding on rods.

Acute Angle An angle that is less than 90o

Algorithm A sequence of steps that leads to the solution of a problem or tells

you that the problem has no solutions.

Alternate Angles Angles on either side of a transversal

e.g.

Alternate angles are equal in size.

A.M. ante meridiem (between midnight and noon).

Amicable Numbers Two numbers are called amicable (or an amicable pair) if

all the proper factors of the first number add up to the second number and the

proper factors of the second number add up to the first number.

e.g. 220 and 284 are amicable numbers

(Factors of 220 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 11, 20, 22, 44, 55 and 110 which total 284,

(Factors of 284 are 1, 2, 4, 71 and 142 which total 220)

Other pairs are (1184 and 1210), (2620 and 2924) and (5020 and 5564).

Angle An angle is a measure of rotation. The units of measurement of rotation are

degrees.

e.g.

Annulus If two circles are concentric, the space between them is called an

annulus.
