A multilinear form on a vector space V(F) over a field F is a map f:V(F)×...×V(F)->F (1) such that c·f(u_1,...,u_i,...,u_n)=f(u_1,...,c·u_i,...,u_n) (2) and ...

The mutual information between two discrete random variables X and Y is defined to be I(X;Y)=sum_(x in X)sum_(y in Y)P(x,y)log_2((P(x,y))/(P(x)P(y))) (1) bits. Additional ...

The series which arises in the binomial theorem for negative integer -n, (x+a)^(-n) = sum_(k=0)^(infty)(-n; k)x^ka^(-n-k) (1) = sum_(k=0)^(infty)(-1)^k(n+k-1; k)x^ka^(-n-k) ...

The evolute of the nephroid given by x = 1/2[3cost-cos(3t)] (1) y = 1/2[3sint-sin(3t)] (2) is given by x = cos^3t (3) y = 1/4[3sint+sin(3t)], (4) which is another nephroid.

Two functions f(x) and g(x) are orthogonal over the interval a<=x<=b with weighting function w(x) if <f(x)|g(x)>=int_a^bf(x)g(x)w(x)dx=0. (1) If, in addition, ...

The quintic surface given by the equation x^2+y^3+z^5=1 was considered by S. Plouffe (pers. comm., Dec. 21, 1998) and here dubbed the peninsula surface. It has been dubbed ...

A polybe is a polyform formed from a polycubes by removing of half of each cube such that at least half of the original join between cubes is retained. The numbers of polybes ...

Polyrects are polyforms obtained from a rectangular grid, illustrated above. The numbers of polyrects with n=1, 2, ... components are 1, 2, 3, 9, 21, 68, 208, ... (OEIS ...

Polyrhombs are polyforms obtained from a rhombic grid, illustrated above. The numbers of polyrhombs with n=1, 2, ... components are 1, 1, 3, 7, 20, 62, 204, ... (OEIS ...

The derivative identity d/(dx)[f(x)g(x)] = lim_(h->0)(f(x+h)g(x+h)-f(x)g(x))/h (1) = (2) = lim_(h->0)[f(x+h)(g(x+h)-g(x))/h+g(x)(f(x+h)-f(x))/h] (3) = f(x)g^'(x)+g(x)f^'(x), ...
