A circumellipse is a circumconic of a triangle that is an ellipse. There is an amazing formula for the area of a circumellipse. Let d_A be the length of the chord of the ...

The connected sum M_1#M_2 of n-manifolds M_1 and M_2 is formed by deleting the interiors of n-balls B_i^n in M_i^n and attaching the resulting punctured manifolds M_i-B^._i ...

The equilateral elongated square dipyramid, illustrated above together with its net, is Johnson solid J_(15). A version of the elongated square dipyramid that is "squashed" ...

The even part Ev(n) of a positive integer n is defined by Ev(n)=2^(b(n)), where b(n) is the exponent of the exact power of 2 dividing n. The values for n=1, 2, ..., are 1, 2, ...
