An extremely powerful theorem in physics which states that each symmetry of a system leads to a physically conserved quantity. Symmetry under translation corresponds to ...

Any irreducible curve may be carried by a factorable Cremona transformation into one with none but ordinary singular points.

A geometry in which Archimedes' axiom does not hold.

An algebra which does not satisfy a(bc)=(ab)c is called a nonassociative algebra.

A generalization of Student's t-distribution known as the noncentral Student's t-distribution is given by (1) where Gamma(z) is the gamma function and _1F_1(a;b;z) is a ...

A positive value of n for which x-phi(x)=n has no solution, where phi(x) is the totient function. The first few are 10, 26, 34, 50, 52, ... (OEIS A005278).

A ruled surface parameterization x(u,v)=b(u)+vg(u) is called noncylindrical if gxg^' is nowhere 0. A noncylindrical ruled surface always has a parameterization of the form ...

A nonempty set is a set containing one or more elements. Any set other than the empty set emptyset is therefore a nonempty set. Nonempty sets are sometimes also called ...

A quantity which does not equal zero is said to be nonzero. A real nonzero number must be either positive or negative, and a complex nonzero number can have either real or ...

The norm topology on a normed space X=(X,||·||_X) is the topology tau consisting of all sets which can be written as a (possibly empty) union of sets of the form B_r(x)={y in ...
