The connective in A<=>B (also denoted A=B) that returns a true result iff A and B are either both true or both false. The biconditional is also called an equivalence.

A bicubic spline is a special case of bicubic interpolation which uses an interpolation function of the form y(x_1,x_2) = sum_(i=1)^(4)sum_(j=1)^(4)c_(ij)t^(i-1)u^(j-1) (1) ...

The study of the nature and properties of bifurcations.

A function is in big-theta of f if it is not much worse but also not much better than f, Theta(f(n))=O(f(n)) intersection Omega(f(n)).

A roll of 10 on a pair of six-sided dice in the game of craps (Gardner 1978, p. 256). The probability of rolling "a big Dick" is 1/12, or 8.333...%.

A two-sided (doubly infinite) Laplace transform, L_t[f(t)](s)=int_(-infty)^inftyf(t)e^(-st)dt. While some authors use this as the primary definition of "the" Laplace ...

The kernel of a symmetric bilinear form Q:V×V-->R is the set Ker(Q)={v in V|Q(v,w)=0 for all w in V}.

A function of two variables is bilinear if it is linear with respect to each of its variables. The simplest example is f(x,y)=xy.

Possessing two modes. The term bimodal distribution, which refers to a distribution having two local maxima (as opposed to two equal most common values) is a slight ...

The wreathed product of the monster group by Z_2. The bimonster is a quotient of the Coxeter group with the above Coxeter-Dynkin diagram. This had been conjectured by Conway, ...
