Meißner (1911) showed how to modify the Reuleaux tetrahedron (which is not a solid of constant width) to form a surface of constant width by replacing three of its edge arcs ...

In elliptic n-space, the flat pole of an (n-1)-flat is a point located an arc length of pi/2 radians distant from each point of the (n-1)-flat. For an n-dimensional spherical ...

A pair of overdots placed over a symbol, as in x^.., most commonly used to denote a second derivative with respect to time, i.e., x^..=d^2x/dt^2.

For n players, n-1 games are needed to fairly determine first place, and n-1+lg(n-1) are needed to fairly determine first and second place.

If one event can occur in m ways and a second can occur independently of the first in n ways, then the two events can occur in mn ways.

Archimedes' spiral is an Archimedean spiral with polar equation r=atheta. (1) This spiral was studied by Conon, and later by Archimedes in On Spirals about 225 BC. Archimedes ...

A bridge of a connected graph is a graph edge whose removal disconnects the graph (Chartrand 1985, p. 45; Skiena 1990, p. 177). More generally, a bridge is an edge of a ...

For an undirected graph, an unordered pair of nodes that specify a line joining these two nodes are said to form an edge. For a directed graph, the edge is an ordered pair of ...

The probability that two events will both happen is hk, where h is the probability that the first event will happen, and k is the probability that the second event will ...

If three skew lines all meet three other skew lines, any transversal to the first set of three meets any transversal to the second set of three.
