Geometry itself was seen as the science of 'simple motions'.

It seemed to take minutes to make even the simplest motions, and a vast effort of will to understand anything that was said to me.

Simple motions of the hand or leg, a color change of the palm.

Some courts are allowing defendants to enter simple motions, as for bail, by themselves.

Simple motions of the modules can be combined and sequenced.

The pattern is composed of two simple motions.

You might start with simple motions such as rotating your arms and legs as you sit in a chair.

With a few simple motions, the drow stepped into a levitation spell and floated silently up.

If you are a beginner, choose exercises that contain simple motions, emphasize spinal stability, and focus on specific groups of muscles.

The simplest motions follow a one-parameter subgroup of a Lie group, such as the Euclidean group of three-dimensional space.

The parallelogram law as the general rule for combining motions is the foundation of the synthesis by which complex motions are constructed out of simple motions.

For some types of moving objects, a fairly high degree of realism is possible within these limits, but, with the provided system calls, simpler motions are easier to script.

With a professional eye she watched her husband, noting that his equilibrium was slightly off in that he'd overshoot with simple motions that required him to make subtle readjustments.

"The trouble with therapy is you tend to find too many confusing alternative meanings to the simplest motions and words, and then you're so confused, you suspect everyone and everything."

Finally, besides working on geometry and being influenced by its methods, Hobbes gives it, as the science of simple motions, a foundational role in the explanatory system of his Elements.

The Strowger system was widely used until the development of the more reliable crossbar switch, an electromechanical switch with a matrix of vertical and horizontal bars and simpler motions.

Another of Roberval's discoveries was a very general method of drawing tangents, by considering a curve as described by a moving point whose motion is the resultant of several simpler motions.

Mill argued that the properties of some physical systems, such as those in which dynamic forces combine to produce simple motions, are subject to a law of nature he called the "Composition of Causes".

The motion of a simple body must itself be simple, and we assert that there are only these two simple motions, the circular and the straight, the latter being subdivided into motion away from and motion towards the centre.

Preserving a Legacy Isadora Duncan made dances out of simple motions like skipping, running and jumping, which is why her style is so well suited for children, said Carrie Tron, director of the Isadora Duncan Youth Ensemble at Pulse Performing Arts Studio in Bedford Hills.
