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) ...

Two adjoined cupolas.

A biflecnode, also called a biflecnodal point, is a point at which a curve crosses itself and is at the same time an inflection point. Biflecnodes are possible for curves of ...

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 transformation which is one-to-one and a surjection (i.e., "onto").

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.
