The points on a line can be put into a one-to-one correspondence with the real numbers.

A sequence a_1, a_2, ... such that the metric d(a_m,a_n) satisfies lim_(min(m,n)->infty)d(a_m,a_n)=0. Cauchy sequences in the rationals do not necessarily converge, but they ...

Consider a line segment of length 1, and pick a point x at random between [0,1]. This point x divides the line into line segments of length x and 1-x. If a set of points are ...

Define a pebbling move as a transer of two pebbles from one vertex of a graph edge to an adjacent vertex with one of the pebbles being removed in transit as a toll. The ...

A hyperbola (plural "hyperbolas"; Gray 1997, p. 45) is a conic section defined as the locus of all points P in the plane the difference of whose distances r_1=F_1P and ...

A theorem, also called the iteration theorem, that makes use of the lambda notation introduced by Church. Let phi_x^((k)) denote the recursive function of k variables with ...
