A curve on which points of a map z_n (such as the Mandelbrot set) diverge to a given value r_(max) at the same rate. A common method of obtaining lemniscates is to define an ...

A set of points capable of being enclosed in intervals whose total length is arbitrarily small.

A mixed fraction is an improper fraction p/q>1 written in the form n+r/s. In common usage such as cooking recipes, n+r/s is often written as n r/s (e.g., 1 1/2), much to the ...

Pathological functions that are continuous but differentiable only on a set of points of measure zero are sometimes known as monsters of real analysis. Examples include the ...

A function for which all critical points are nondegenerate and all critical levels are different.

The integral transform defined by (Kphi)(x)=int_0^inftyG_(pq)^(mn)(xt|(a_p); (b_q))phi(t)dt, where G_(pq)^(mn) is a Meijer G-function. Note the lower limit of 0, not -infty ...

A negative integer is one of the integers ..., -4, -3, -2, -1 obtained by negating the positive integers. The negative integers are commonly denoted Z^-.

Any irreducible curve may be carried by a factorable Cremona transformation into one with none but ordinary singular points.

"Nordstrand's weird surface" is an attractive quartic surface given by the implicit equation It has 11 ordinary double points located at (2/5,0,0), (-2/5,0,0), ...

Place 2n balls in a bag and number them 1 to 2n, then pick half of them at random. The number of different possible sums for n=1, 2, 3, ... are then 2, 5, 10, 17, 26, ... ...
