NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Amplify

Generally, amplification is a basic process sometimes seen in nature, and often used in processes which involve a signal which must be made stronger.
In linguistics, an amplification is a figure of speech that adds importance to or makes the most of a statement, to increase its rhetorical effect.
In molecular biology, amplification (polymerase chain reaction or PCR) is the method for creating multiple copies of DNA (or RNA) without using a living organism, such as E. coli or yeast.

ESP Amplifier Basics - How Audio Amps Work (3926 words)
	In the case of a speaker, the power amplifier must be capable of providing a voltage and current sufficient to cause the speaker cone(s) to move.
	An amplifier - or an element of an amplifying device - is presented with the input signal, and compares it to a "small scale replica" of the output signal.
	In many designs, one part of the complete amplifier circuit (usually the input stage) acts as an error amplifier, and supplies exactly the right amount of signal to the rest of the amp to ensure that there is no difference between the input and output signals, other than amplitude.
