INTEGERS

, denote whole numbers: as contradistinguished from fractions.—Integers may be considered as numbers which refer to unity, as a whole to a part.

INTEGRAL Number, an integer; not a fraction.

Integral Calculus, in the New Analysis, is the reverse of the differential calculus, and is the finding the Integral from a given differential; being similar to the inverse method of fluxions, or the finding the fluent to a given fluxion.

INTEGRANT Parts, in Philosophy, are the similar parts of a body, or parts of the same nature with the whole; as filings of iron are the Integrant parts of iron, having the same nature and properties with the bar or mass they were filed off from.
