A Monge patch is a patch x:U->R^3 of the form x(u,v)=(u,v,h(u,v)), (1) where U is an open set in R^2 and h:U->R is a differentiable function. The coefficients of the first ...

Neville's algorithm is an interpolation algorithm which proceeds by first fitting a polynomial of degree 0 through the point (x_k,y_k) for k=1, ..., n, i.e., P_k(x)=y_k. A ...

Am octagonal prims is a prism composed of octagonal faces. The regular right octagonal prism of unit edge length has surface area and volume S = 4(3+sqrt(2)) (1) V = ...

A partial differential equation of second-order, i.e., one of the form Au_(xx)+2Bu_(xy)+Cu_(yy)+Du_x+Eu_y+F=0, (1) is called parabolic if the matrix Z=[A B; B C] (2) ...

The surface given by the parametric equations x = asinu (1) y = asinv (2) z = asin(u+v). (3) It is a sextic surface with algebraic equation (4) The coefficients of the first ...

A surface generated by the parametric equations x(u,v) = ucosv (1) y(u,v) = usinv (2) z(u,v) = vcosu. (3) The above image uses u in [-4,4] and v in [0,6.25]. The coefficients ...

The trace of a second-tensor rank tensor T is a scalar given by the contracted mixed tensor equal to T_i^i. The trace satisfies ...

The Bessel differential equation is the linear second-order ordinary differential equation given by x^2(d^2y)/(dx^2)+x(dy)/(dx)+(x^2-n^2)y=0. (1) Equivalently, dividing ...

A number of attractive cube 6-compounds can be constructed. A first (left figures) is obtained by combining six cubes, each rotated by 1/6 of a turn about the line joining ...

The first Hardy-Littlewood conjecture is called the k-tuple conjecture. It states that the asymptotic number of prime constellations can be computed explicitly. A particular ...
