An algebraic surface which can be represented implicitly by a polynomial of degree 10 in x, y, and z. An example is the Barth decic.

The symbol used in continental Europe, most of North and South America (with the exception of the United States and Canada), and most of Africa to denote a decimal point, for ...

A continuum is a decomposable continuum if and only if it is the union of two of its proper subcontinua. A continuum that is not decomposable is an indecomposable continuum.

A rewriting of a given quantity (e.g., a matrix) in terms of a combination of "simpler" quantities.

A definition assigns properties to some sort of mathematical object. For example, Euclid's Elements starts with a number of definitions, such as "a line is a breadthless ...

The upside-down capital delta symbol del , also called "nabla" used to denote the gradient and other vector derivatives. The following table summarizes the names and ...

A surface which is related to Cayley numbers.

Given a Jacobi amplitude phi and a elliptic modulus m in an elliptic integral, Delta(phi)=sqrt(1-msin^2phi).

A curve which can be turned continuously inside an equilateral triangle. There are an infinite number of delta curves, but the simplest are the circle and lens-shaped ...

A delta sequence is a sequence of strongly peaked functions for which lim_(n->infty)int_(-infty)^inftydelta_n(x)f(x)dx=f(0) (1) so that in the limit as n->infty, the ...
