Adjective

 * 1) Having the form of a line; straight or roughly straight; following a direct course.
 * 2) Of or relating to lines.
 * 3) Made, or designed to be used, in a step-by-step, sequential manner.
 * 4)  Long and narrow, with nearly parallel sides.
 * 5)  Having degree less than one; that is, being of the form $$ a_1x_1 + a_2x_2 + \cdots + a_nx_n $$, where each $$x_i$$ is a variable and each $$a_i$$ is a coefficient. See also
 * 6)  Involving only linear polynomials. See also
 * 7)  An additive, homogeneous mapping; that is, a function $$f:V \to W$$ is linear if it distributes over vector addition ($$f(\mathbf{v} + \mathbf{w}) = f(\mathbf{v}) + f(\mathbf{w})$$) and respects scalar multiplication ($$f(c\mathbf{v}) = cf(\mathbf{v})$$). If $$V$$ and $$W$$ are vector spaces over a field $$K$$, $$f$$ may also be called a $$K$$-linear map. See also
 * 8)  A module homomorphism; that is, a group homomorphism that commutes with scalar multiplication. See also
 * 9)  A type of length measurement involving only one spatial dimension.
