Down arrow notation is an inverse of the Knuth up-arrow notation defined by evn = lnn (1) evvn = ln^*n (2) evvvn = ln^(**)n, (3) where ln^*n is the number of times the ...

Dyads extend vectors to provide an alternative description to second tensor rank tensors. A dyad D(A,B) of a pair of vectors A and B is defined by D(A,B)=AB. The dot product ...

The eccentric angle of a point on an ellipse with semimajor axes of length a and semiminor axes of length b is the angle t in the parametrization x = acost (1) y = bsint, (2) ...

The Elsasser function is defined by the integral E(y,u)=int_(-1/2)^(1/2)exp[-(2piyusinh(2piy))/(cosh(2piy)-cos(2pix))]dx. (1) Special values include E(0,u) = 1 (2) E(y,0) = ...

The bias of an estimator theta^~ is defined as B(theta^~)=<theta^~>-theta. (1) It is therefore true that theta^~-theta = (theta^~-<theta^~>)+(<theta^~>-theta) (2) = ...

The Gaussian joint variable theorem, also called the multivariate theorem, states that given an even number of variates from a normal distribution with means all 0, (1) etc. ...

The gear curve is a curve resembling a gear with n teeth given by the parametric equations x = rcost (1) y = rsint, (2) where r=a+1/btanh[bsin(nt)], (3) where tanhx is the ...

J_n(z) = 1/(2pi)int_(-pi)^pie^(izcost)e^(in(t-pi/2))dt (1) = (i^(-n))/piint_0^pie^(izcost)cos(nt)dt (2) = 1/piint_0^picos(zsint-nt)dt (3) for n=0, 1, 2, ..., where J_n(z) is ...

Let alpha_(n+1) = (2alpha_nbeta_n)/(alpha_n+beta_n) (1) beta_(n+1) = sqrt(alpha_nbeta_n), (2) then H(alpha_0,beta_0)=lim_(n->infty)a_n=1/(M(alpha_0^(-1),beta_0^(-1))), (3) ...

A pyramidal number of the form n(n+1)(5n-2)/6, The first few are 1, 8, 26, 60, 115, ... (OEIS A002413). The generating function for the heptagonal pyramidal numbers is ...
