To find the minimum distance between a point in the plane (x_0,y_0) and a quadratic plane curve y=a_0+a_1x+a_2x^2, (1) note that the square of the distance is r^2 = ...

The positive real axis is the portion of the real axis with x>0.

A tensor-like object which reverses sign under inversion. Given a transformation matrix A, A_(ij)^'=det|A|a_(ik)a_(jl)A_(kl), where det is the determinant. A pseudotensor is ...

The formula giving the roots of a quadratic equation ax^2+bx+c=0 (1) as x=(-b+/-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/(2a). (2) An alternate form is given by x=(2c)/(-b+/-sqrt(b^2-4ac)). (3)

To compute an integral of the form int(dx)/(a+bx+cx^2), (1) complete the square in the denominator to obtain int(dx)/(a+bx+cx^2)=1/cint(dx)/((x+b/(2c))^2+(a/c-(b^2)/(4c^2))). ...

R(p,tau) = int_(-infty)^inftyint_(-infty)^infty[1/(sigmasqrt(2pi))e^(-(x^2+y^2)/(2sigma^2))]delta[y-(tau+px)]dydx (1) = ...

A polyhedron with extra square faces, given by the Schläfli symbol r{p; q}.

The portion of the complex plane z=x+iy with real part R[z]>0.

A linkage which converts circular to linear motion using a hinged square.

A method for constructing magic squares of odd order, also called de la Loubere's method.
