A line that passes through the center of a circle or sphere.

The radian is a unit of angular measure defined such that an angle of one radian subtended from the center of a unit circle produces an arc with arc length 1. A full angle is ...

The distance from the center of a circle to its perimeter, or from the center of a sphere to its surface. The radius is equal to half the diameter.

The base of a number system, i.e., 2 for binary, 8 for octal, 10 for decimal, and 16 for hexadecimal. The radix is sometimes called the base or scale.

The amazing identity for all theta, where Gamma(z) is the gamma function. Equating coefficients of theta^0, theta^4, and theta^8 gives some amazing identities for the ...

For a point y in Y, with f(y)=x, the ramification index of f at y is a positive integer e_y such that there is some open neighborhood U of y so that x has only one preimage ...

A type of cusp as illustrated above for the curve x^4+x^2y^2-2x^2y-xy^2+y^2=0.

The fractal-like figure obtained by performing the same iteration as for the Mandelbrot set, but adding a random component R, z_(n+1)=z_n^2+c+R. In the above plot, ...

A random composition of a number n in k parts is one of the (n+k-1; n) possible compositions of n, where (n; k) is a binomial coefficient. A random composition can be given ...

A statistical distribution in which the variates occur with probabilities asymptotically matching their "true" underlying statistical distribution is said to be random.
