1 definition found From The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) [jargon]: N /N/, quant. 1. A large and indeterminate number of objects: ?There were N bugs in that crock!? Also used in its original sense of a variable name: ?This crock has N bugs, as N goes to infinity.? (The true number of bugs is always at least N + 1; see Lubarsky's Law of Cybernetic Entomology.) 2. A variable whose value is inherited from the current context. For example, when a meal is being ordered at a restaurant, N may be understood to mean however many people there are at the table. From the remark ?We'd like to order N wonton soups and a family dinner for N - 1? you can deduce that one person at the table wants to eat only soup, even though you don't know how many people there are (see great-wall). 3. Nth: adj. The ordinal counterpart of N, senses 1 and 2. 4. ?Now for the Nth and last time...? In the specific context ?Nth-year grad student?, N is generally assumed to be at least 4, and is usually 5 or more (see tenured graduate student). See also random numbers, { two-to-the-N}.
