What's the difference between remainder and summation?

Remainder


Definition:

  • (n.) Anything that remains, or is left, after the separation and removal of a part; residue; remnant.
  • (n.) The quantity or sum that is left after subtraction, or after any deduction.
  • (n.) An estate in expectancy, generally in land, which becomes an estate in possession upon the determination of a particular prior estate, created at the same time, and by the same instrument; for example, if land be conveyed to A for life, and on his death to B, A's life interest is a particuar estate, and B's interest is a remainder, or estate in remainder.
  • (a.) Remaining; left; left over; refuse.

Summation


Definition:

  • (v. t.) The act of summing, or forming a sum, or total amount; also, an aggregate.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Alphaxalone and endogenous steroid hormone metabolites inhibit the binding of [35S]-t-butyl bicyclophosphorothionate in some regions, enhance it in others and give biphasic concentration-dependence in others, apparently the result of algebraic summation of two effects involving regional-dependent enhancement or inhibition.
  • (2) This suggests that the curvature of the xenon clearance curve is the result of recording the summation of the activities from the alveoli and the pulmonary blood and not, as previously described, due to the existence of two different sub-populations of alveoli.
