Swan) “Which,” if interrogative, relates to a limited group. “What” deals with every group. abscissa of regularity absorbing set Appendix 3 Miscellany absorptance vs. absorptivity absorption edge Achilles and Tortoise acoustic inertance activity analysis acute angle ad hoc addendum or note added in proof adeles and ideles adjacement matrix adjoint Hilbert space aerial array a fortiori agent of type 1 aggregate endowment aliases All-America [adj.] vs. All-American [n.] all but a finite number all its derivatives alloy vs. blending alternating group of degree n altogether vs. in the altogether amalgam vs. mixture amenable group ample bundle analog and analogy analog simulation analytic set analytically thin set ansatz of a solution vs. ansautze on masses apertures and stops apogee and perigee a posteriori distribution approximate identity in an algebra a priori estimate Archimedean unit arcwise connected space Argand diagram Artian module ascending chain condition asymptotic expansion/behavior and asymptote at high temperature/ constant pressure at most finitely many k’s at stages/moments vs. in places/steps; on sides/hands at this juncture atled autocephalous and autonomous churches autoregressive process avalanche breakdown 139
