The difference between Geometric mean and Quadratic mean
When used as nouns, geometric mean means a measure of central tendency of a set of n values computed by extracting the nth root of the product of the values, whereas quadratic mean means a type of average, calculated as the square root of the mean of the squares, ie. q = \sqrt { x_1^2 + x_2^2 + ... + x_n^2 \over n }.

Geometric mean as a noun (mathematics):
A measure of central tendency of a set of n values computed by extracting the nth root of the product of the values.
Examples:
"The geometric mean of 2, 4 and 1 is <math>\sqrt[3]{2 \times 4 \times 1}</math> = 2"
-
Quadratic mean as a noun (mathematics):
A type of average, calculated as the square root of the mean of the squares, ie. Q = \sqrt { x_1^2 + x_2^2 + ... + x_n^2 \over n }.
