A hom-set of a category C is a set of morphisms of C.

In a chain complex of modules ...->C_(i+1)->^(d_(i+1))C_i->^(d_i)C_(i-1)->..., the module B_i of i-boundaries is the image of d_(i+1). It is a submodule of C_i and is ...

Two similar figures with parallel homologous lines and connectors of homologous points concurrent at the homothetic center are said to be in homothetic position. If two ...

A sextic surface given by the implicit equation 4(x^2+y^2+z^2-13)^3+27(3x^2+y^2-4z^2-12)^2=0.

The identity element I (also denoted E, e, or 1) of a group or related mathematical structure S is the unique element such that Ia=aI=a for every element a in S. The symbol ...

An infinitesimal which is not the differential of an actual function and which cannot be expressed as dz=((partialz)/(partialx))_ydx+((partialz)/(partialy))_xdy, the way an ...

A function of the coordinates which is constant along a trajectory in phase space. The number of degrees of freedom of a dynamical system such as the Duffing differential ...

A proper ideal of a ring that is not the intersection of two ideals which properly contain it. In a principal ideal domain, the ideal I=<a> is irreducible iff a=0 or a is an ...

The partial differential equation partial/(partialx)(u_t+uu_x+1/2u_(xxx)+u/(2t))+(3alpha^2)/(2t^2)u_(yy)=0 which arises in the study of water waves.

An integer kappa equal to 0 or 1 which vanishes iff the product manifold M^4×R can be given a smooth structure. Here, M^n is a compact connected topological four-manifold.
