The word has several technical mathematical usages. In number-theory it denotes a relative rank between the elements of an aggregate so that the collection becomes an ordered aggregate (see NUMBER). The order of a plane curve is the number of points (real or imaginary) in which the curve is intersected by a straight line; it is equal to the degree (or coefficient of the highest power) of the Cartesian equation expressing the curve. The order of a non-plane curve is the number of points (real or imaginary) in which the curve intersects a plane (see CURVE). The order of a surface is the number of points in which the surface intersects a straight line. For the order of a congruence and complex see SURFACE. The order of a differential equation is the degree of its highest differential coefficient (see DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION). Another branch of the sense-development of the word starts from the meaning of orderly, systematic or proper arrangement, which appears in the simplest form in such adverbial expressions as " in order," " out of order " and the like. More particular instances are the use of the word for the customary procedure observed in the conduct of the business of a public meeting, or of parliamentary debates, and for the general maintenance and due observance of law and authority, " public order."

instrument made " payable to order " is one which can be negotiated by the payee by endorsement. At common law a negotiable instrument must contain words expressly authorizing transfer. By the Bills of Exchange Act 1882, 8, " a bill is payable to order which is expressed to be so payable, or which is expressed to be payable to a particular person, and does not contain words prohibiting transfer or indicating an intention that it should not be transferable." Other applications are to a direction for the supply of goods and to a pass for free admission to a place of amusement, a building, &c.In law an " order of the court " is a judicial direction on matters outside the record; as laid down by Esher, M.R., in Onslow v. Inland Revenue, 59, L.J.Q.B. 556, a "judgment" is a decision obtained in an action and every other decision is an "order." For " Order in Council" see below.
