The application of characteristic p methods in commutative algebra, which is a synthesis of some areas of commutative algebra and algebraic geometry.

An extension field of a field F that is not algebraic over F, i.e., an extension field that has at least one element that is transcendental over F. For example, the field of ...

The triangle space T is the set of triples (a,b,c) of real numbers that are side lengths of a (Euclidean) triangle, i.e., T={(a,b,c):0<a<b+c,0<b<c+a,0<c<a+b} (Kimberling ...

The trimean is defined to be TM=1/4(H_1+2M+H_2), where H_i are the hinges and M is the statistical median. Press et al. (1992) call this Tukey's trimean. It is an L-estimate.

The uniform polychora are four-dimensional analogs of the uniform polyhedra. In fact, the uniform polyhedra are cells of the uniform polychora. There are more than 8000 known ...

A random number which lies within a specified range (which can, without loss of generality, be taken as [0, 1]), with a uniform distribution.

For a given bounded function f(x) over a partition of a given interval, the upper sum is the sum of box areas M^*Deltax_k using the supremum M of the function f(x) in each ...

A witness is a number which, as a result of its number theoretic properties, guarantees either the compositeness or primality of a number n. Witnesses are most commonly used ...

One of the seven 4-polyhexes. S. Kim has observed that four worms solve the puzzle of finding a non-three-colorable map with only four congruent countries (as long as no ...
