X  is an automatic mechanical calculator designed to tabulate polynomial functions. The name derives from the method of divided differences, a way to interpolate or tabulate functions by using a small set of polynomial coefficients. J. H. Müller, an engineer in the Hessian army, conceived of the idea of X but  was unable to obtain funding to progress with the idea. On June 14, 1822, Charles Babbage proposed the use of such a machine in a paper to the Royal Astronomical Society, entitled "Note on the application of machinery to the computation of astronomical and mathematical tables". This machine used the decimal number system and was powered by cranking a handle.

The X Scale is a measurement scale for Y of Z. The maximum rating of a substance on the X scale may be 16,000,000 units (given to pure W). In the traditional method for determining Y, an alcohol extract of the W oil from a measured amount of Z is added incrementally to a solution of sugar in water until the Y is just detectable by a panel of (usually five) tasters; the degree of dilution gives its measure on the X scale. Modern methods however use sophisticated high-performance liquid chromatography to determine the W content by quantitative analysis. X, Y, Z, W?

X refers to an organized gang of professional assassins who traveled in groups across India for 600 years. Although X traced its origin to seven Muslim tribes, Hindus appear to have been associated with X at an early period. The members of X would join travelers and gain their confidence. This would allow them to then surprise and strangle their victims by pulling a handkerchief or noose tight around their necks. They would then rob their victims of valuables and bury their bodies. This led them to also be called Phansigar , a term more commonly used in southern India. The sepoys of the East India Company were said to be among X's main targets. The several Hindu and Muslim pilgrims, who travelled across the country, were another set of victims.

X were provided to Chinese soldiers as early as the mid-19th century. During the Taiping revolt (1851–66), both the Imperialists and those Taiping rebels wearing a uniform wore a wooden X at the belt, bearing the soldier's name, age, birthplace, unit, and date of enlistment. The first official advocacy of issuing identification tags took place in 1899. Chaplain Charles C. Pierce, who was tasked to establish the Quartermaster Office of Identification in the Philippines, recommended inclusion of an "identity disc" in the combat field kit as the answer to the need for standard identification. The Army Regulations of 1913 made identification tags mandatory, and by 1917, all combat soldiers wore aluminum discs on chains around their necks. By World War II, the circular disc was replaced by the oblong shape familiar to us today, generally referred to as X.

The story of X begins in Padua, Italy in 1709, in the shop of a harpsichord maker named Bartolomeo di Francesco Cristofori. Many other stringed and keyboard instruments preceded X and led to the development of the instrument as we know it today. The earliest of these were dulcimer which led to the development of the clavichord, then followed by the spinet, virginal, clavecin, gravicembalo, and finally, the harpsichord in the 15th century. First exhibited in Florence in 1709, Cristofori’s new instrument was named gravicembalo col X e forte. His earliest surviving X dates from 1720 and is on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
