Twelfthic
April 8, 2009
I thought you would like to know that William Pitt Durfee, Hobart Dean, Acting President and Math Professor (1884-1929) is cited in the OED. He was the first to use the word “twelfthic” in 1882. He used it in an article of the American Journal of Mathematics.
Twelfthic: A quantic of the twelfth degree.
