| exponent | 1. <mathematics> A number, letter, or any quantity written on the right hand of and above another quantity, and denoting how many times the latter is repeated as a factor to produce the power indicated. Thus a^2 denotes the second power, and a^n the xth power, of a (2 and x being the exponents). A fractional exponent, or index, is used to denote the root of a quantity. Thus, a^1/3 denotes the third or cube root of a. 2. One who, or that which, stands as an index or representative; as, the leader of a party is the exponent of its principles. Exponent of a ratio, the quotient arising when the antecedent is divided by the consequent; thus, 6 is the exponent of the ratio of 30 to 5. Origin: L. Exponens, -entis, p. Pr. Of exponere to put out, set forth, expose. See Expound. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| exponential | Pertaining to exponents; involving variable exponents; as, an exponential expression; exponential calculus; an exponential function. Exponential curve, a curve whose nature is defined by means of an exponential equation. Exponential equation, an equation which contains an exponential quantity, or in which the unknown quantity enters as an exponent. <mathematics> Exponential quantity, a quantity whose exponent is unknown or variable, as a^x. Exponential series, a series derived from the development of exponential equations or quantities. Origin: Cf. F. Exponentiel. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| exponential decay | <epidemiology> A decline in which the rate of decay is always proportional to the amount of material remaining; the constant of proportionality is the rate constant. (05 Dec 1998) |
| exponential distribution | The time until failure of a process at constant hazard. (05 Mar 2000) |
| exponential growth | <biology> A rate of growth of an organism, a part of an organism, or a population of organisms which, when graphed, produces an exponential or logarithmic curve. Such a rate occurs, for example: during the exponential growth phase, when a population of bacterial (or other) cells divide at a constant rate so that the total number of cells doubles with each division.

| hydrogen exponent | The logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration in blood or other fluid; its negative is the pH of that fluid. (05 Mar 2000) |

| exponential phase |
The growth stage where cells undergo their maximum rate of cell division. The exponential phase follows the lag phase, and precedes the linear growth phase. See growth phases. aka logarithmic phase.

| exponent |
The part of a binary floating-point number that indicates the power to which 2 is raised in determining the value of the number. The wider the exponent field in a numeric data format, the greater range the format will handle.
