Order is often used to describe exponents when talking about functions and other mathematical properties. In a lot of cases, it's also equivalent to a degree. For example, a function y = x² - 9 is a second-order/degree polynomial.

Alternatively, one could find a second-order rate of a reaction, which means the rate of reaction is proportional to the square of a solution's concentration.
