Any real function u(x,y) with continuous second partial derivatives which satisfies Laplace's equation, del ^2u(x,y)=0, (1) is called a harmonic function. Harmonic functions ...

A transformation of the form w=f(z)=(az+b)/(cz+d), (1) where a, b, c, d in C and ad-bc!=0, (2) is a conformal mapping called a linear fractional transformation. The ...

A "law of large numbers" is one of several theorems expressing the idea that as the number of trials of a random process increases, the percentage difference between the ...

A nonhomogeneous linear equation or system of nonhomogeneous linear systems of equations is said to be affine.

A transformation in which the coordinate system is changed, leaving vectors in the original coordinate system "fixed" while changing their representation in the new ...

Let K_1^n and K_2^n be disjoint bicollared knots in R^(n+1) or S^(n+1) and let U denote the open region between them. Then the closure of U is a closed annulus S^n×[0,1]. ...

The augmented truncated dodecahedron is Johnson solid J_(68) constructed by affixing a pentagonal cupola to one of the decagonal faces of a truncated dodecahedron such that ...

If X is any space, then there is a CW-complex Y and a map f:Y->X inducing isomorphisms on all homotopy, homology, and cohomology groups.

A quartic curve that resembles the symbol for the zodiacal sign Capricorn given by the implicit equation a^2x^2(x^2+y^2)-b(ay-x^2-y^2)^2=0, where a>0, b>a^2. The curve ...

A subset of a topological space is called clopen if it is both closed and open.
