Starting with a triangle, draw a circle touching two sides. Then draw a circle tangent to this circle and two other sides. Continue in the same direction. The result is a ...

Define the minimal bounding rectangle as the smallest rectangle containing a given lattice polygon. If the perimeter of the lattice polygon is equal to that of its minimal ...

A standard basis, also called a natural basis, is a special orthonormal vector basis in which each basis vector has a single nonzero entry with value 1. In n-dimensional ...

The supersphere is the algebraic surface that is the special case of the superellipse with a=b=c. It has equation |x/a|^n+|y/a|^n+|z/a|^n=1 (1) or |x|^n+|y|^n+|z|^n=a^n (2) ...

The transitive closure of a binary relation R on a set X is the minimal transitive relation R^' on X that contains R. Thus aR^'b for any elements a and b of X provided that ...

A minimal surface discovered by L. P. M. Jorge and W. Meeks III in 1983 with Enneper-Weierstrass parameterization f = 1/((zeta^3-1)^2) (1) g = zeta^2 (2) (Dickson 1990). ...

The universal product code (UPC) is a 12-digit number and associated machine-readable bar code used to identify products being purchased in grocery stores. UPCs encode an ...

A triangular matrix U of the form U_(ij)={a_(ij) for i<=j; 0 for i>j. (1) Written explicitly, U=[a_(11) a_(12) ... a_(1n); 0 a_(22) ... a_(2n); | | ... |; 0 0 ... a_(nn)]. ...

One of the numbers 1, 2, 3, ... (OEIS A000027), also called the counting numbers or natural numbers. 0 is sometimes included in the list of "whole" numbers (Bourbaki 1968, ...

An amazing pandigital approximation to e that is correct to 18457734525360901453873570 decimal digits is given by (1+9^(-4^(7·6)))^(3^(2^(85))), (1) found by R. Sabey in 2004 ...
