† principiantn.²

Origin: Apparently a borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element. Etymons: Latin princip- , princeps , invariant n.

Etymology: Apparently irregularly < classical Latin princip-, princeps (adjective) main, chief (see princeps n. and adj.) + -iant (in invariant n.). Compare reciprocant n. 2.

Mathematics. Obsolete.

A reciprocant (reciprocant n. 2) that is invariant when the variables undergo a particular kind of transformation.

ΚΠ

1886 J. J. Sylvester in Amer. Jrnl. Math. 9 20 Instead of the cumbrous terms Projective Reciprocants or Differential Invariants, it is better to use the single word Principiants to denominate that crowning class or order of Reciprocants which remain, to a factor près, unaltered for any homographic substitutions impressed on the variables. This is the species princeps.

1898 Proc. Royal Soc. 63 p. xxiv In particular, L. J. Rogers made a capital discovery in the Theory of Principiants (the name given to those reciprocants which are invariantive in respect of the homographic substitutions).
