A base-60, or sexagesimal, number system, used by the ancient Babylonians.

The Diophantine equation x^2+k=y^3, which is also an elliptic curve. The general equation is still the focus of ongoing study.

A topological space X in which each subset of X of the "first category" has an empty interior. A topological space which is homeomorphic to a complete metric space is a Baire ...

The bandwidth of a matrix M=(m_(ij)) is the maximum value of |i-j| such that m_(ij) is nonzero.

A vector field u satisfying the vector identity ux(del xu)=0 where AxB is the cross product and del xA is the curl is said to be a Beltrami field.

Let P be a polynomial of degree n with derivative P^'. Then ||P^'||_infty<=n||P||_infty, where ||P||_infty=max_(|z|=1)|P(z)|.

The Bessel functions of the first kind J_n(x) are defined as the solutions to the Bessel differential equation x^2(d^2y)/(dx^2)+x(dy)/(dx)+(x^2-n^2)y=0 (1) which are ...
