It refers to and is a property of anything which remains the same. It is a term used in mathematics, mechanics etc for example:

  • in y=mx+c, the constant c remains the same when x and y change as variables. m can also be a constant in whcih case you can say that the rate of change is constant.
  • E=MC^2, C represents the speed of light in a vacuum which is thought of as being the same everywhere in the universe.

In science, a constant is a measurement, usually in an experiment, that never changes. It is used to compare and/or contrast the values of other variables in the same situation.

Constant and True is the Clan Rose Family Motto found on the Clan Rose Family Crest. It is not that the Clan nor its family is constant and true, but being founded on Christian Beliefs, it is our Lord and Savior Jesus who is Constant and True.

Hi Michael Rose,

It's actually Kilravock Castle (pronounced 'Kilrawk') is a traditional Scottish castle, the Tower being built in 1460. It's beautiful, you should check it out.

I disagree with the earlier answer (agree with Lulu Beatson below).


"continuous" is irrelevant. A constant is a number or letter whose value, in a particular context, remains the same. The equation of a straight line (in 2-dimensions) can be written in the form ax + by + c = 0 where a, b and c are constants. a and b do not stand alone, as suggested above. For a given line, a, b and c are constants but another set of constants will give a different line - this is what is implied by the "context".

A constant has the same value no matter where and whenever used as for example the value of pi in a circle remains the same whatever the size of the circle.
