A degree is any of a wide range of awards made by institutions of higher education, such as universities, normally as the result of successfully completing a programme of study.Universities started to be set up in Europe in the 12th and 13th centuries. Teaching in universities was only carried out by people who were properly qualified, as with other professions - or guilds: faculties in universities were organised as guilds. In the same way that a carpenter would attain the guild status of a "master carpenter" when fully qualified, a teacher would become a "master" when he had been licensed by his profession - the teaching guild.
A degree was a step on the way to becoming a master, and therefore a qualified teacher. "Graduate" is based on the Latin word "gradus" for a step - it was a step on the way to becoming qualified. Originally the only qualification was the master's degree: the bachelor's degree only marked the completion of a stage in the training. It was awarded to a candidate who had studied the prescribed texts in the trivium (grammar, rhetoric and logic) for three or four years and had successfully passed examinations held by his masters.
Today the terms master, doctor and professor signify different levels of academic achievement, but initially were equivalent terms. The University of Bologna in Italy, regarded as the oldest university in Europe, was the first institution to award the degree of doctor in civil law in the late 12th century, and awarded similar degrees in other subjects including medicine. (It is interesting to note that it is only in medicine that the term "doctor" is still used by students who have obtained their first academic qualification - a throwback to these times.)
Other universities went down a different line. The University of Paris used the term "master" for its graduates, and the English universities of Oxford and Cambridge adopted the Parisian system.
The practice developed along these lines, and became linked with the subjects studied. Scholars in the faculties of arts or grammar became known as masters, but those in philosophy, medicine and law were known as doctor. As study in the arts or in grammar was a necessary prerequisite to study in subjects such as philosophy, medicine and law, the degree of doctor assumed a higher status than the master's degree. The hierarchy that we know today - the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) degree being more advanced than the Master of Arts (M.A.) degree - was being developed. The German universities developed the practice of using the term "doctor" for all advanced degrees, and this usage spread across the academic world.
The French system and terminology shows very strong links with the past and the original meaning of the academic terms. The baccalauréat ( cf. "bachelor" ) is conferred upon French students who have successfully completed secondary studies and admits the student to the university. When students qualify from university, they are awarded "licence", - very much as the medieval teaching guilds would have done, and the students are qualified to teach in secondary schools or to go on to higher-level studies.
In Germany, the doctorate is still the only higher degree granted, but with additions to specify the area of study - such as Dr.rer.nat. (Doktor rerum naturalium) in natural sciences and Dr.Ing. (Doktor-Ingenieur) in engineering.
In Europe, degrees are being harmonised through the Bologna process. This is based on a three-level hierarchy of degrees (Bachelor:Master:Doctor), which is currently being introduced in those countries that currently only have two stages.

A degree is the name of several units of measurement, and also an academic qualification.
Measurement
Angle
A degree of arc, usually symbolized by the symbol °, is a measurement of plane angles, or of a location along a great circle of a sphere (such as the Earth or the celestial sphere); it represents going one-360th the way around the circumference of a circle or sphere. Where degree measures are used, you'll also find minutes (one-60th of a degree, or 1/21600 of the way around, symbolized by a single quotation mark) and seconds (one-60ths of a minute, or 1/1296000 of the way around , symbolized by a double quotation mark). Thus 40°12'13" is 40 degrees, 12 minutes, 13 seconds, or about 11/100 of the way around.In more mathematical context, angles are usually measured in radians instead of degrees. One degree equals π/180 radians.
There was also an attempt to introduce a decimal degree, see gon.
Temperature
Several units of measuring temperature. The symbol is usually ° followed by the initial letter, for example ° C.
Note that the SI unit of temperature, the kelvin, uses the symbol K and is not proceeded by "degrees" or the degree sign (°).
- degrees Celsius (° C)
- degrees Fahrenheit (° F)
- degrees Rankine
- degrees Réaumur
Mathematics and Physics
A "degree of freedom" is a concept in mathematics, physics and engineering. See the article "degrees of freedom" for the use of this concept.The degree of a term of a polynomial is the exponent on the variable in that term; the degree of an entire polynomial is the degree of the term of highest degree. For example, the term of highest degree in 2x3 + 4x2 + x + 7 is 2x3; this term, and therfore the entire polynomial, are said to have degree 3. For polynomials in two or more variables, the degree of a term is the sum of the exponents of the variables in the term, and the degree of a polynomial is again the degree of the term of highest degree. For example, the degree of the polynomial x2y2 + 3x3 + 4y is 4, the degree of the x2y2 term.
In graph theory, the degree of a vertex of a graph is the number of edges incident to that vertex.
Education
A degree is an award conferred on a person by an institution of higher education, generally in recognition of academic achievement, but in some cases merely as a honor for non-academic work (the later are called honorary degrees, or degrees honoris causa). A person issued a degree is permitted to place initials after their name indicating the award, and in some cases (Doctorates and Higher Doctorates) assume the title of Doctor (by custom people with doctorates honoris causa do not assume this title).See also: Academic degrees: B.A, M.Sc, M.A, MBA, M.D, J.D, Ph.D
Medicine
The term is used to specify levels of burns, ranging from first degree burns to third degree burns.Source: adapted by the editor from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia under a copyleft GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) from the article "Degree."
(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
A loop in a graph or digraph is an edge e in E whose endpoints are the same vertex. A digraph or graph is called simple if there are no loops and there is at most one edge between any pair of vertices.
The example graph pictured to the right is a simple graph with vertex set V = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} and edge set E = (with the map w being the identity).
An edge connects two vertices; these two vertices are said to be incident to the edge. The valency (or degree) of a vertex is the number of edges incident to it, with loops being counted twice. In the example graph vertices 1 and 3 have a valency of 2, vertices 2,4 and 5 have a valency of 3 and vertex 6 has a valency of 1. If E is finite, then the total valency of the vertices is equal to twice the number of edges. In a digraph, we distinguish the out degree (=the number of edges leaving a vertex) and the in degree (=the number of edges entering a vertex). The degree of a vertex is equal to the sum of the out degree and the in degree.
Two vertices are considered adjacent if an edge exists between them. In the above graph, vertices 1 and 2 are adjacent, but vertices 2 and 4 are not. The set of neighbors for a vertex consists of all vertices adjacent to it. In the example graph, vertex 1 has two neighbors: vertex 2 and node 5. For a simple graph, the number of neighbors that a vertex has coincides with its valency.
In computers, a finite directed or undirected graph (with n vertices, say) is often represented by its adjacency matrix: an n-by-n matrix whose entry in row i and column j gives the number of edges from the i-th to the j-th vertex.
A path is a sequence of vertices such that from each of its vertices there is an edge to the successor vertex. A path is considered simple if none of the vertices in the path are repeated. The length of a path is the number of edges that the path uses, counting multiple edges multiple times. Two paths are independent if they do not have any vertex in common, except the first and last one.
A weighted graph associates a value to an edge for all edges in the graph. The cost of a path in a weighted graph is the sum of the costs of the traversed edges.
In the example graph, (1, 2, 5, 1, 2, 3) is a path with length 5, and (5, 2, 1) is a simple path of length 2.
If it is possible to establish a path from any vertex to any other vertex of a graph, the graph is said to be connected. If it is always possible to establish a path from any vertex to any other vertex even after removing k-1 vertices, then the graph is said to be k-connected. Note that a graph is k-connected if and only if it contains k independent paths between any two vertices. The example graph above is connected (and therefore 1-connected), but not 2-connected.
A cycle (or circuit) is a path that begins and ends with the same vertex. Cycles of length 1 are loops. In the example graph, (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 2, 1) is a cycle of length 6. A simple cycle is a cycle which has length at least 3 and in which the beginning vertex only appears once more, as the ending vertex, and the other vertices appear only once. In the above graph (1, 5, 2, 1) is a simple cycle. A graph is called acyclic if it contains no simple cycles.
An articulation point is a vertex whose removal disconnects a graph. A bridge is an edge whose removal disconnects a graph. A biconnected component is a maximal set of edges such that any two edges in the set lie on a common simple cycle. The girth of a graph is the length of the shortest simple cycle in the graph. The girth of an acyclic graph is defined to be infinity.
A tree is a connected acyclic simple graph. Sometimes, one vertex of the tree is distinguished, and called the root. Trees are commonly used as data structures in computer science (see tree data structure).
A forest is a set of trees; equivalently, a forest is any acyclic graph.
A subgraph of the graph G is a graph whose vertex set is a subset of the vertex set of G, whose edge set is a subset of the edge set of G, and such that the map w is the restriction of the map from G.
A spanning subgraph of a graph G is a subgraph with the same vertex set as G. A spanning tree is a spanning subgraph that is a tree. Every graph has a spanning tree.
A complete graph is a simple graph in which every vertex is adjacent to every other vertex. The example graph is not complete. The complete graph on n vertices is often denoted by Kn. It has n(n-1)/2 edges (corresponding to all possible choices of pairs of vertices).
A regular graph has all vertices of the same valency.
A universal graph in a class K of graphs is a simple graph in which every element in K can be embbeded as a subgraph.
A planar graph is one which can be drawn in the plane without any two edges intersecting. The example graph is planar; the complete graph on n vertices, for n> 4, is not planar.
An Eulerian path in a graph is a path that uses each edge precisely once. If such a path exists, the graph is called traversable. An Eulerian cycle is a cycle with uses each edge precisely once. There is a dual to this concept: a Hamiltonian path in a graph is a path that visits each vertex once and only once; and a Hamiltonian cycle is a cycle which visits each vertex once and only once. The example graph does not contain an Eulerian path, but it does contain a Hamiltonian path. While determining whether a given graph has an Eulerian path or cycle is trivial, solving the same problem for Hamiltonian paths and cycles appears to be extremely hard.
The null graph is the graph whose edge set and vertex set are empty.
An independent set in a graph is a set of pairwise nonadjacent vertices. In the example above, vertices 1,3, and 6 form an independent set and 3,5, and 6 are another independent set.
A clique (pronounced "click") in a graph is a set of pairwise adjacent vertices. In the example graph above, vertices 1, 2 and 5 form a clique.
A bipartite graph is any graph whose vertices can be divided into two sets, such that there are no edges between vertices of the same set. A graph can be proved bipartite if there do not exist any circuits of odd length.
A k-partite graph or k-colorable graph is a graph whose vertices can be partitioned into \k disjoint subsets such that there are no edges between vertices in the same subset. A 2-partite graph is the same as a bipartite graph.
