| 释义 | > as lemmasfigurate numbers b. figurate numbers: numbers, or series of numbers, formed from any arithmetical progression in which the first term is a unit, and the difference a whole number, by taking the first term, and the sums of the first two, first three, first four, etc., terms as the successive terms of a new series, from which another may be formed in the same manner, and so on. So figurate arithmetic, the science of such numbers.Thus from the arithmetical series 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., a second series 1, 3, 6, 10, etc. (‘triangular’ numbers) is formed as above described; and from this again a third series, 1, 4, 10, 20 (‘pyramidal’ numbers).
