Advent Wreath Candles. Set on the branches of the wreath are four candles: three purple candles and one pink candle. In the center of the wreath sits a white candle. As a whole, these candles represent the coming of the light of Christ into the world. On the first Sunday of Advent, the first purple candle is lit.
In mathematics,  a coefficient is a multiplicative factor in some term of a polynomial, a series or any expression; it is usually a number, but may be any expression. In the latter case, the variables appearing in the coefficients are often called parameters, and must be clearly distinguished from the other variables.
A Coefficient is a number used to multiply a variable (4x means 4 times x, so 4 is a coefficient) Variables on their own (without a number next to them) actually have a coefficient of 1 (x is really 1x) Sometimes a coefficient is a letter like a or b instead of a number: Example: ax 2 + bx + c
