A dominant seventh chord occurs on the fifth degree of the major or harmonic minor scale. It consists of a root, a major 3rd, a perfect 5th, and a minor 7th. The progression of a dominant seventh to the tonic chord, V7 - I or V7 - i, forms a strong progression that can established a key center and produce a strong cadence. Secondary dominant chords are formed as temporary dominants above scale degrees other than the tonic. They are spelled like dominant sevenths, root-M3-P5-m7. This spelling requires altered pitches that are not in the original scale. This occurs when the third of the secondary dominant is raised to form a temporary leading tone.
It also may occur when a pitch is lowered to form the minor seventh of the secondary dominant. Secondary dominants provide a strong progression when they move to their implied tonics, for example V7 of ii - ii. They introduce a temporary movement outside the original key..

Secondary dominants' are a kind of chord (music) used in musical harmony. These chords are also called "applied dominants".

I'm guessing something to do with music, but I am not sure so don't pay attention to me.
My first thought had to do with math but then I saw that other people seemed to be smarted than me on this term so I think they probably know better on this one. Sorry.
