A polyhedron constructed by ruling 2n equally spaced vertical lines along the surface of a cylinder together with 2n^3 circles around the cylinder at equally spaced heights. ...

The Stammler circle is the circumcircle of the Stammler triangle. Unexpectedly, it has center at the circumcenter O (X_3) of the reference triangle and radius 2R (Ehrmann and ...

An illusion invented by the German psychologist Wilhelm Wundt in the 19th century. In the figure above, the two red horizontal lines are both straight, but they look as if ...

Externally erect a square on the side BC. Now join the new vertices S_(AB) and S_AC of this square with the vertex A, marking the points of intersection Q_(A,BC) and ...

Intuitively, a model of d-dimensional percolation theory is said to be a Bernoulli model if the open/closed status of an area is completely random. In particular, it makes ...

An intrinsic property of a mathematical object which causes it to remain invariant under certain classes of transformations (such as rotation, reflection, inversion, or more ...

The Newton-Cotes formulas are an extremely useful and straightforward family of numerical integration techniques. To integrate a function f(x) over some interval [a,b], ...

There are a few plane curves known as "bean curves." The bean curve identified by Cundy and Rowllet (1989, p. 72) is the quartic curve given by the implicit equation ...

The curve formed by the intersection of a cylinder and a sphere is known as Viviani's curve. The problem of finding the lateral surface area of a cylinder of radius r ...

Find a closed plane curve of a given perimeter which encloses the greatest area. The solution is a circle. If the class of curves to be considered is limited to smooth ...
