17 is a Fermat prime, which means that the 17-sided regular polygon (the heptadecagon) is constructible using compass and straightedge (as proved by Gauss).

The three circular triangles A^'B^'C^', AB^'C^', A^'BC^', and A^'B^'C obtained by extending the arcs of a circular triangle ABC into complete circles.

Axiomatic set theory is a version of set theory in which axioms are taken as uninterpreted rather than as formalizations of pre-existing truths.

A logical system which possesses an explicitly stated set of axioms from which theorems can be derived.

The number of single operations (of addition, subtraction, and multiplication) required to complete an algorithm.

If the total group of the canonical series is divided into two parts, the difference between the number of points in each part and the double of the dimension of the complete ...

The chromatic number of a graph is at most the maximum vertex degree Delta, unless the graph is complete or an odd cycle, in which case Delta+1 colors are required.

Vandeghen's (1965) name for the transformation taking points to their isotomic conjugates.

Let A be a commutative ring, let C_r be an R-module for r=0, 1, 2, ..., and define a chain complex C__ of the form C__:...|->C_n|->C_(n-1)|->C_(n-2)|->...|->C_2|->C_1|->C_0. ...

An arrangement of overlapping circles which cover the entire plane. A lower bound for a covering using equivalent circles is 2pi/sqrt(27) (Williams 1979, p. 51).
