	The Use of Abscissae in Graphs
		A specific case of an abscissa being used to model the diameter of a conic section is referred to.
		Both the abscissa and the ordinate values may be obtained from experimental measurements, with no assumption of cause and effect relationship between the values.
		So the values on the ordinate are not directly related to the values on the abscissa; and the values on the abscissa are not in fact the values being measured on the output of the standard instrument at all.

	abscissa \| English \| Dictionary & Translation by Babylon
		In mathematics, the Cartesian coordinate system is used to uniquely determine each point in the plane through two numbers, usually called the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate of the point.
		To define the coordinates, two perpendicular directed lines (the x-axis or abscissa and the y-axis or ordinate), are specified, as well as the unit length, which is marked off on the two axes (see Figure 1).
		abscissa, distance of a coordinate from the the vertical axis (y-axis) of a graph measured on a line which is parallel to the horizontal axis (x-axis)

	Automatic recorder abscissa scaling
		An offset of a magnitude equivalent to the minimum temperature that the sample will attain must be subtracted such that when the sample is at this minimum temperature the resultant abscissa drive signal to the pen recorder is zero and the pen is therefore positioned at the left side of the paper.
		This adjusted signal must then be multiplied by a factor of magnitude equivalent to the full scale signal needed to position the pen recorder along the X axis to the right hand side of the paper divided by the temperature span to which the sample will be subjected.
		The output of divider 18 is zero when the outputs from the amplifier 25 representative of current sample temperature and T MIN block 15 are equal and will be full scale when the output from the amplifier 25 is the same as the maximum temperature from which the temperature span was calculated.

		The geometrical characteristic stored in the database 16 depends on the inertial sensor 12 used and must enable a theoretical value of the inertial measurement supplied by the sensor 12 to be calculated, in conjunction with the speed of the vehicle.
		The curvature.rho.(s) of a rail track varies only very slowly as a function of the abscissa s within a curve and the measured value y(t) supplied by a yaw rate gyro can therefore be written y(t).apprxeq..rho.(s).V(s) where.rho.(s) is the curvature of the track at the abscissa s and V(s) is the speed of the vehicle.
		Of course, during this journey of the vehicle for instructing the database 16, the speed-measuring means 13 are calibrated and the traveling conditions are chosen so that there is no slip between the wheels and the rails, so that the measured speed and therefore the abscissae of the track obtained are accurate.

		Before Abscissa, our trading entity name was Abinitio, a Latin adverb for "from the beginning" under which we held the abinitio.com Domain Name.
		The abinitio.com domain was sold to an American software company back in 1997 and the desire for another prominent Domain Name resulted in a dictionary search for a name that would appear high on any alphabetical business directory.
		As for the meaning of Abscissa, if plotting a co-ordinate on a graph, the Abscissa is the notational point along the X axis, though here is a better explanation.

		For example, a plotter may be given new data points to add to each trace it controls, and it may be asked to autoscale a particular trace based on the data currently stored in it.
		The plotter will be directed to plot one component of this vector on the abscissa and one component of this vector on the ordinate for each trace.
		The CAR of the pair specifies the vector index of the return value of the PROCEDURE that will be mapped to the abscissa of the trace and teh CDR of the pair specifies the vector index of the return value of the PROCEDURE that will be mapped to the ordinate of the trace.

	Optimization Online - Variational Analysis of the Abscissa Mapping for Polynomials
		Abstract: The abscissa mapping on the affine variety $M_n$ of monic polynomials of degree $n$ is the mapping that takes a monic polynomial to the maximum of the real parts of its roots.
		It is well known that the abscissa mapping is continuous on $M_n$, but not Lipschitz continuous.
		Using these tools, we completely characterize the subderivative and the subgradients of the abscissa mapping, and establish that the abscissa mapping is everywhere subdifferentially regular.

		The segment OP on the axis XX’ and a number x, measuring its length according to the selected scale, is called an abscissa or x-coordinate of a point M ; the segment OQ on axis YY’ and a number y, measuring its length - an ordinate or y-coordinate of a point M.
		Usually positive abscissas are placed by right on an axis XX’ ; positive ordinates – by upwards on an axis YY’.
		On Fig.1 we see: a point M has an abscissa x = 2, an ordinate y = 3; a point K has an abscissa x = – 4, an ordinate y = – 2.5.
