A curve whose name means "shell form." Let C be a curve and O a fixed point. Let P and P^' be points on a line from O to C meeting it at Q, where P^'Q=QP=k, with k a given ...

The automorphism group Co_1 of the Leech lattice modulo a center of order two is called "the" Conway group. There are 15 exceptional conjugacy classes of the Conway group. ...

The cubefree part is that part of a positive integer left after all cubic factors are divided out. For example, the cubefree part of 24=2^3·3 is 3. For n=1, 2, ..., the first ...

A (general) dodecahedron is a polyhedron having 12 faces. Examples include the Bilinski dodecahedron, decagonal prism, elongated square dipyramid (Johnson solid J_(15)), ...

The elongated pentagonal gyrobirotunda is a convex equilateral gyrobirotunda having regular pentagonal upper and lower birotundas arranged rotated 1/10 of a turn with respect ...

The great icosicosidodecahedron, not to be confused with the great icosahedron or great icosidodecahedron, is the uniform polyhedron with Maeder index 48 (Maeder 1997), ...

A hexagonal prism is a prism composed of two hexagonal bases and six rectangular sides. It is an octahedron. The regular right hexagonal prism is a space-filling polyhedron. ...

The hyperfactorial (Sloane and Plouffe 1995) is the function defined by H(n) = K(n+1) (1) = product_(k=1)^(n)k^k, (2) where K(n) is the K-function. The hyperfactorial is ...

Marsaglia (1972) has given a simple method for selecting points with a uniform distribution on the surface of a 4-sphere. This is accomplished by picking two pairs of points ...

A predicate in logic equivalent to the composition NOT OR that yields false if any condition is true, and true if all conditions are false. A NOR B is equivalent to !(A v B), ...
