addition, fundamental operation of arithmetic, denoted by +. In counting, a+b represents the number of items in the union of two collections having no common members (disjoint sets), having respectively a and b members. In geometry a+b might, for example, represent the area of the union of two disjoint regions of areas a and b, respectively. In arithmetic addition follows the associative lawassociative law,
in mathematics, law holding that for a given operation combining three quantities, two at a time, the initial pairing is arbitrary; e.g., using the operation of addition, the numbers 2, 3, and 4 may be combined (2+3)+4=5+4=9 or 2+(3+4)=2+7=9.

in mathematics, law holding that for a given binary operation (combining two quantities) the order of the quantities is arbitrary; e.g., in addition, the numbers 2 and 5 can be combined as 2+5=7 or as 5+2=7.

In mathematics, given any two operations, symbolized by * and +, the first operation, *, is distributive over the second, +, if a*(b+c)=(a*b)+(a*c) for all possible choices of a, b, and c.

The result of the addition of two numbers a and b is a third number, which is called the sum of a and b and is denoted by a + b; a and b are said to be addends. Addition satisfies the commutative law: a + b = b + a. It also satisfies the associative law: (a + b) + c = a + (b + c). The term “addition” is also applied to certain operations on other mathematical entities. For example, we may speak of addition of polynomials, addition of vectors, and addition of matrices. Operations, however, that violate the commutative and associative laws are not referred to as addition. addition[ə′di·shən] (mathematics) An operation by which two elements of a set are combined to yield a third; denoted +; usually reserved for the operation in an Abelian group or the group operation in a ring or vector space. The combining of complex quantities in which the individual real parts and the individual imaginary parts are separately added. The combining of vectors in a prescribed way; for example, by algebraically adding corresponding components of vectors or by forming the third side of the triangle whose other sides each represent a vector. Also known as composition. addition1. A floor or floors, a room, wing, or other expansion to an existing building. 2. In building code usage: Any new construction which increases the height or floor area of an existing building or adds to it (as a porch or attached garage). 3. An amount added to the contract sum by a charge order; also see extra.addition a mathematical operation in which the sum of two numbers or quantities is calculated. Usually indicated by the symbol + addition

addition a title following a person's name, the most common still in use being Esquire. Such a title can be claimed by none and assumed by anyone. The mysterious-sounding additions of mystery were in fact of occupation, like painter or printer.ADDITION. Whatever is added to a man's name by way of title, as additions ofestate, mystery, or place. 10 Went. Plead. 871; Salk. 6; 2 Lord Ray. 988; :1WUS. 244, 5.
2. Additions of an estate or quality are esquire, gentleman, and thelike; these titles can however be claimed by none, and may be assumed by anyone. In Nash v. Battershy (2 Lord Ray. 986 6 Mod. 80,) the plaintiffdeclared with the addition of gentleman. The defendant pleaded in abatementthat the plaintiff was no gentleman. The plaintiff demurred, and it washeld ill; for, said the court, it amounts to a confession that the plaintiffis no gentleman, and then not the person named in the count. He should havereplied that he is a gentleman.
3. Additions of mystery are such as scrivener, painter, printer,manufacturer, &c.
4. Additions of places are descriptions by the place of residence, asA. B. of Philadelphia and the like. See Bac. Ab. b. t.; Doct. Pl. 71; 2 Vin.Abr. 77; 1 Lilly's Reg. 39; 1 Metc. R. 151.
5. At common law there was no need of addition in any case, 2 Lord Ray.988; it was, required only by Stat. 1 H. 5. c. 5, in cases where process ofoutlawry lies. In all other cases it is only a description of the person,and common reputation is sufficient. 2 Lord Ray. 849. No addition isnecessary in a Homine Replegiando. 2 Lord Ray. 987; Salk. 5; 1 Wils. 244, 6;6 Rep. 67. See ADD
