Definition for EX-PO-NEN'TIAL
EX-PO-NEN'TIAL, a.
Exponential curves are such as partake both of the nature of algebraic and transcendental ones. They partake of the former, because they consist of a finite number of terms, though these terms themselves are indeterminate; and they are in some measure transcendental, because they can not be algebraically constructed. Harris.
