In mechanical engineering and machinery, it is a metalpointedpin or short shaft, such as the end of an axle or spindle. The term occurs frequently in combination with others, for example "pivot-gearing" for a system of gearing in machinery which admits of the shifting of the axis of a driving wheel, so that the power may be communicated in various directions.
In linguistics, the syntactic pivot is the argument of the verb around which the sentence "revolves" — typically the one that the verb agrees with, the one that can be sometimes be omitted and assumed to remain the same as in previous sentences, etc. (in nominative-accusative languages, this is the argument we call "subject").
In mathematics, specifically linear algebra, a pivot is the first non-zero value of each row of a matrix after the matrix has been converted to row echelon form. The number of pivots in a matrix is equal to the rank of the matrix.
Pivot is also the abbreviated name (full name: Pivotlog) of a free weblog tool written in PHP.
"Pivot" Is a name of a program used in animating. The program was made by Peter Bone. The program was made to have an easier alternative to Animating then Flash.

Pivots are generally economically feasible (relative to other types of irrigation system) when 40 acres or more are irrigated under a single pivot, and are generally the least expensive option when more than 60 acres are irrigated.
Operating a pivot is a simple job of turning the pivot on and can be done easily by one man (unless the pumping station is a considerable distance away from the pivot).
Pivots withstand this type of movement well when they are moved once or twice per year, but any attempt to move a pivot weekly is a wasted effort both in terms of crop water management and wear and tear on the pivot structure.
