Let a particle travel a distance s(t) as a function of time t (here, s can be thought of as the arc length of the curve traced out by the particle). The speed (the scalar ...

The minimal polynomial of an algebraic number zeta is the unique irreducible monic polynomial of smallest degree p(x) with rational coefficients such that p(zeta)=0 and whose ...

The conjecture that the number of alternating sign matrices "bordered" by +1s A_n is explicitly given by the formula A_n=product_(j=0)^(n-1)((3j+1)!)/((n+j)!). This ...

The altitudes of a triangle are the Cevians A_iH_i that are perpendicular to the legs A_jA_k opposite A_i. The three altitudes of any triangle are concurrent at the ...

The antipedal triangle DeltaA^'B^'C^' of a reference triangle DeltaABC with respect to a given point P is the triangle of which DeltaABC is the pedal triangle with respect to ...

The Archimedean duals are the 13 duals of the 13 Archimedean solids, sometimes called the Catalan solids. They are summarized in the following table and illustrated below ...

The area of a surface or lamina is the amount of material needed to "cover" it completely. The area of a surface or collection of surfaces bounding a solid is called, not ...

The Barth sextic is a sextic surface in complex three-dimensional projective space having the maximum possible number of ordinary double points, namely 65. The surface was ...

A pair of identical plane regions (mirror symmetric about two perpendicular lines through the center) which can be stitched together to form a baseball (or tennis ball). A ...

The biggest little polygon with n sides is the convex plane n-gon of unit polygon diameter having largest possible area. Reinhardt (1922) showed that for n odd, the regular ...
