Archimedean group In abstract algebra, a branch of mathematics, an Archimedean group is an algebraic structure. It is a set together with a binary operation and binary relation, with both satisfying certain axioms detailed below. We can also say that an Archimedean group is a linearly ordered group for which the Archimedean property holds. For example, the set R of real numbers together with the operation of addition and usual ordering relation (≤) is an Archimedean group. (references)
Archimedean point An Archimedean point is a hypothetical vantage point from which an observer can objectively perceive the subject of inquiry, with a view of totality. The ideal of "removing oneself" from the object of study so that one can see it in relation to all other things, but remain independent of them, is described by a view from an Archimedean point. (references)
Archimedean property Always holds, no matter how large is the finite number n of terms in this sum. (references)
Archimedean screw An instrument, said to have been invented by Archimedes, for raising water, formed by winding a flexible tube round a cylinder in the form of a screw. When the screw is placed in an inclined position, and the lower end immersed in water, by causing the screw to revolve, the water is raised to the upper end. --Francis.
