An equation of the form y=ax^3+bx^2+cx+d, (1) where two of the roots of the equation coincide (and all three are therefore real), i.e., y = a(x-r_1)^2(x-r_2) (2) = ...

The rotation vector of the trihedron of a curve with curvature kappa!=0 when a point moves along a curve with unit speed. It is given by D=tauT+kappaB, (1) where tau is the ...

A differential ideal I on a manifold M is an ideal in the exterior algebra of differential k-forms on M which is also closed under the exterior derivative d. That is, for any ...

A special function which is given by the logarithmic derivative of the gamma function (or, depending on the definition, the logarithmic derivative of the factorial). Because ...

The distribution parameter of a noncylindrical ruled surface parameterized by x(u,v)=sigma(u)+vdelta(u), (1) where sigma is the striction curve and delta the director curve, ...

A number of attractive 10-compounds of the regular dodecahedron can be constructed. The compound illustrated above will be implemented in a future version of the Wolfram ...

A number of attractive 7-compounds of the regular dodecahedron can be constructed. The compound illustrated above will be implemented in a future version of the Wolfram ...

The parametric equations of the evolute of an epitrochoid specified by circle radii a and b with offset h are x = ...

The exsecant is a little-used trigonometric function defined by exsec(x)=secx-1, (1) where secx is the secant. The exsecant can be extended to the complex plane as ...

A group action phi:G×X->X is called faithful if there are no group elements g (except the identity element) such that gx=x for all x in X. Equivalently, the map phi induces ...
