A knot invariant is a function from the set of all knots to any other set such that the function does not change as the knot is changed (up to isotopy). In other words, a ...

The simplest interpretation of the Kronecker delta is as the discrete version of the delta function defined by delta_(ij)={0 for i!=j; 1 for i=j. (1) The Kronecker delta is ...

Given a map f from a space X to a space Y and another map g from a space Z to a space Y, a lift is a map h from X to Z such that gh=f. In other words, a lift of f is a map h ...

The limaçon trisectrix is a trisectrix that is a special case of the rose curve with n=1/3 (possibly with translation, rotation, and scaling). It was studied by Archimedes, ...

Line segment picking is the process of picking line segments at random within a given shape in the plane, in space, or in a higher dimension. The most natural definition of a ...

The unique magic square of order three. The Lo Shu is an associative magic square, but not a panmagic square.

The continuous distribution with parameters m and b>0 having probability and distribution functions P(x) = (e^(-(x-m)/b))/(b[1+e^(-(x-m)/b)]^2) (1) D(x) = 1/(1+e^(-(x-m)/b)) ...

A lozenge (or rhombus) algorithm is a class of transformation that can be used to attempt to produce series convergence improvement (Hamming 1986, p. 207). The best-known ...

The mean triangle area A^_ is the average area of a triangle in triangle picking within some given shape. As summarized in the following table, it is possible to compute the ...

Polynomials m_k(x;beta,c) which form the Sheffer sequence for g(t) = ((1-c)/(1-ce^t))^beta (1) f(t) = (1-e^t)/(c^(-1)-e^t) (2) and have generating function ...
