1. To cut into cubes; SYN. dice.
2. To raise to the third power in mathematics.
To multiply a number by itself and then by itself again. For example, 5 cubed = 53 = 5 x 5 x 5 = 125.

ETYM French cube, Latin cubus, from Greek, a cubical die.
1. A hexahedron with six equal squares as faces; SYN. regular hexahedron, block.
2. Something in the (approximate) shape of a cube; SYN. square block.
3. The product of three equal terms in mathematics; SYN. third power.
4. Any of several tropical American woody plants of the genus Lonchocarpus whose roots are used locally as a fish poison and commercially as a source of rotenone.

The term also refers to a number formed by cubing; for example, 1, 8, 27, 64 are the first four cubes.In geometry, a regular solid figure whose faces are all squares. It has six equal-area faces and 12 equal-length edges.
If the length of one edge is l, the volume V of the cube is given by:
V = l3
and its surface area A by:
A = 6l2

Any of several tropical American plants (genus Lonchocarpus) furnishing rotenone.

Raised to the third power.

An OLAP data structure. A cube contains dimensions (like Country/Region/City) and data fields (like Sales Amount). Dimensions organize types of data into hierarchies with levels of detail, and data fields measure quantities.

A personal computer design introduced by Apple in 2000. The Cube featured a unique 8-by-8-by-8-inch transparent curved cube shape with the power supply outside the chassis to create a small and extremely quiet computer. The Cube offered the same G4 processor and features available on other Macintosh computers, but with fewer expansion options. Although the unique design drew notice for innovation, Apple discontinued manufacture of the Cube in 2001 after only one year of production.
