A surface of revolution of the form r(phi)=a[1-esin^2phi-(3/8e^2+k)sin^2(2phi)], where k is a second-order correction to the figure of a rotating fluid.

Series expansions of the parabolic cylinder functions U(a,x) and W(a,x). The formulas can be found in Abramowitz and Stegun (1972).

A formal structure for the organization of information. Examples of data structures include the list, queue, stack, and tree.

A database can be roughly defined as a structure consisting of 1. A collection of information (the data), 2. A collection of queries that can be submitted, and 3. A ...

A wavelet used for filtering signals. Daubechies (1988, p. 980) has tabulated the numerical values up to order p=10.

The system of partial differential equations iu_t+u_(xx)+alphau_(yy)+betau|u|^2-uv=0 v_(xx)+gammav_(yy)+delta(|u|^2)_(yy)=0.

Debye's asymptotic representation is an asymptotic expansion for a Hankel function of the first kind with nu approx x. For 1-nu/x>epsilon, nu/x=sinalpha, ...

A decagon is a ten-sided polygon. Several special types of decagons are illustrated above. In particular, a decagon with vertices equally spaced around a circle and with all ...

A decahedron is a polyhedron having 10 faces. Examples include the 5-trapezohedron, augmented pentagonal prism (Johnson solid J_(52)), augmented tridiminished icosahedron ...
