The quantifier "for all" ( forall ), sometimes also known as the "general quantifier."

A Turing machine which, by appropriate programming using a finite length of input tape, can act as any Turing machine whatsoever. In his seminal paper, Turing himself gave ...

A position in a game is unsafe for player A if the person who plays next (player B) can win. Every unsafe position can be made safe by at least one move.

The upper-trimmed subsequence of x={x_n} is the sequence lambda(x) obtained by dropping the first occurrence of n for each n. If x is a fractal sequence, then lambda(x)=x.

The figure formed when the midpoints of adjacent sides of a quadrilateral are joined. Varignon's theorem demonstrated that this figure is a parallelogram. The center of the ...

Let theta be the angle between two vectors. If 0<theta<pi, the vectors are positively oriented. If pi<theta<2pi, the vectors are negatively oriented. Two vectors in the plane ...

The point about which an angle is measured is called the angle's vertex, and the angle theta associated with a given vertex is called the vertex angle. In a polygon, the ...

Let S be a collection of subsets of a finite set X. A subset Y of X that meets every member of S is called the vertex cover, or hitting set. A vertex cover of a graph G can ...

The horizontal line segment in the above figure appears to be shorter than the vertical line segment, despite the fact that it has the same length.

A diagonal slash resembling the solidus, but with slightly less slant, used to denote division for in-line equations such as a/b, 1/(x-1)^2, etc.
