volume, measure of solid content or capacity, usually expressed in units that are the cubes of linear units, such as cubic inches and cubic centimeters, or in units of dry and liquid measure, such as bushels, gallons, and liters. Volumes of complicated geometric forms are often calculated using integral calculus calculus, branch of mathematics that studies continuously changing quantities. The calculus is characterized by the use of infinite processes, involving passage to a limit —the notion of tending toward, or approaching, an ultimate value.

volume

A physical storage unit, such as a hard disk, floppy disk, disk cartridge, CD-ROM disc or reel of tape. See volume label and logical volume.

volume

1. the magnitude of the three-dimensional space enclosed within or occupied by an object, geometric solid, etc.

2. fullness or intensity of tone or sound

3. History a roll or scroll of parchment, papyrus, etc.

volume [′väl·yəm]

(acoustics)

The intensity of a sound.

(computer science)

A single unit of external storage, all of which can be read or written by a single access mechanism or input/output device.

(engineering acoustics)

The magnitude of a complex audio-frequency current as measured in volume units on a standard volume indicator.

(mathematics)

A measure of the size of a body or definite region in three-dimensional space; it is equal to the least upper bound of the sum of the volumes of nonoverlapping cubes that can be fitted inside the body or region, where the volume of a cube is the cube of the length of one of its sides. Abbreviated vol.
