A basis vector in an n-dimensional vector space is one of any chosen set of n vectors in the space forming a vector basis, i.e., having the property that every vector in the ...

A knot used to join the ends of two ropes together to form a longer length.

The nth order Bernstein expansion of a function f(x) in terms of a variable x is given by B_n(f,x)=sum_(j=0)^n(n; j)x^j(1-x)^(n-j)f(j/n), (1) (Gzyl and Palacios 1997, Mathé ...

The definite integral int_a^bx^ndx={(b^(n+1)-a^(n+1))/(n+1) for n!=1; ln(b/a) for n=-1, (1) where a, b, and x are real numbers and lnx is the natural logarithm.

The centralizer of an element z of a group G is the set of elements of G which commute with z, C_G(z)={x in G,xz=zx}. Likewise, the centralizer of a subgroup H of a group G ...

A complex vector bundle is a vector bundle pi:E->M whose fiber bundle pi^(-1)(x) is a complex vector space. It is not necessarily a complex manifold, even if its base ...

The endpoints of a confidence interval are known as the confidence limits.

For {M_i}_(i in I) a family of R-modules indexed by a directed set I, let sigma_(ij):M_i->M_j i<=j be an R-module homomorphism. Call (M_i,sigma_(ij)) a direct system over I ...

sum_(k=-n)^n(-1)^k(n+b; n+k)(n+c; c+k)(b+c; b+k)=(Gamma(b+c+n+1))/(n!Gamma(b+1)Gamma(c+1)), where (n; k) is a binomial coefficient and Gamma(x) is a gamma function.

If the lines joining corresponding points of two directly similar figures are divided proportionally, then the locus of the points of the division will be a figure directly ...
