table

n. a presentation of data in an ordered arrangement of overlaid vertical columns and horizontal rows. As with a graph, the purpose of a table is to communicate information (either in words or numerical values) in a concise, space-efficient manner that can be assessed at a glance and interpreted easily. The columns have headings; the leftmost column, which usually lists the independent variable, is referred to as the stub column. The intersection of a column and a row is called a cell. Tables are often accompanied by explanatory notes. —tabular adj.
