| eccentricity | Origin: Cf. F. Excentricite. 1. The state of being eccentric; deviation from the customary line of conduct; oddity. 2. <mathematics> The ratio of the distance between the center and the focus of an ellipse or hyperbola to its semi-transverse axis. 3. <astronomy> The ratio of the distance of the center of the orbit of a heavenly body from the center of the body round which it revolves to the semi-transverse axis of the orbit. 4. <mechanics> The distance of the center of figure of a body, as of an eccentric, from an axis about which it turns; the throw.

| eccentricity |
strange and unconventional behavior (geometry) a ratio describing the shape of a conic section; the ratio of the distance between the foci to the length of the major axis; "a circle is an ellipse with zero eccentricity" a circularity that has a different center or deviates from a circular path

| eccentricity |
in geometry, a property of a conic section (circle, ellipse, parabola, or hyperbola). It is the distance of any point on the curve from a fixed point (the focus) divided by the distance of that point from a fixed line (the directrix). A circle has an eccentricity of zero; for an ellipse it is less than one; for a parabola it is equal to one; and for a hyperbola it is greater than one.

| eccentricity |
a Keplerian element describing the shape of the orbit; where: e=0-> circular orbit, e=between 0 and 1->elliptical orbit, e=1->parabolic orbit, e=greater than 1->hyperbolic orbit.
