Altitude vs Latitude Altitude and latitude are commonly used terms in the field of astronomy and geography. Both are parameters relating to the angular position of a location. More about Latitude The angular distance on a plane perpendicular to the plane of the equator is known as the latitude. This is used as one […]

Difference Between Integration and Summation
Integration vs Summation In above high school mathematics, integration and summation are often found in mathematical operations. They are seemingly used as different tools and in different situations, but they share a very close relationship. More about Summation Summation is the operation of adding a sequence of numbers and the operation is often denoted […]
Difference Between Grid North and True North
Grid North vs True North North Pole is considered to be the point at which the axis of rotation of the earth intersects the earth’s surface in the northern hemisphere. Even though it gives the impression that this is a fixed point, based on the application the real point varies. Therefore, several alternative definitions […]
Difference Between Google Maps and Google Earth
Google Maps vs Google Earth Google maps and Google Earth are two software applications developed by Google Inc. USA. They both are generated based on the satellite imagery and are used as virtual globe maps. Both products are similar in functionality, but many significant differences exist. Both applications allow route finding and access to […]
Difference Between Arithmetic and Geometric Series
Arithmetic vs Geometric Series The mathematical definition of a series is closely related to the sequences. A sequence is an ordered set of numbers and can be either a finite or an infinite set. A sequence of numbers with the difference between two elements being a constant is known as an arithmetic progression. A […]
Difference Between Altitude and Height
Altitude vs Height The altitude and height are two related terms often found in aerial navigation, geography, and many other subjects. Both are distance measurements in the vertical direction between two points, but the difference lies in the way they are defined and used. Height is simply the vertical distance between two points. That […]
Difference Between Algebraic Expressions and Equations
Algebraic Expressions vs Equations Algebra is one of the main branches of mathematics and defines some of the fundamental operations contributing to the human understanding of mathematics, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Algebra also introduces the concept of variables, which allows an unknown quantity to be represented by a single letter, hence […]
Difference Between Adjoint and Inverse Matrix
Adjoint vs Inverse Matrix Both adjoint matrix and the inverse matrix are obtained from linear operations on a matrix, and they are two different matrices with different properties. More about (Classical) Adjoint or Adjugate Matrix The adjoint matrix, or the adjugate matrix is the transpose of the cofactor matrix. If the cofactor matrix of […]
Difference Between Acute Angle and Obtuse Angle
Acute Angle vs Obtuse Angle Angles are defined as the shape formed by the intersection of two straight lines. The straight line segments are called the sides, and the point of intersection is known as the vertex. The size of an angle is measured by the separation of its sides around the vertex. The […]
Difference Between Belgian Tervuren and German Shepherd
Belgian Tervuren vs German Shepherd Of the two, the Belgian Tervuren and German shepherd, one is a dog breed while the other is a variety of a breed. In addition, there are interesting differences between Belgian Tervuren and German shepherd such as the countries of origin, body shape, coat colours, standing poses, and temperaments […]
