A number n is called a barrier of a number-theoretic function f(m) if, for all m<n, m+f(m)<=n. Neither the totient function phi(n) nor the divisor function sigma(n) has a ...

The irrational constant R = e^(pisqrt(163)) (1) = 262537412640768743.9999999999992500... (2) (OEIS A060295), which is very close to an integer. Numbers such as the Ramanujan ...

A weakly binary tree is a planted tree in which all nonroot graph vertices are adjacent to at most three graph vertices. Let g(z)=sum_(i=0)^inftyg_iz^i, (1) be the generating ...

A normal distribution in a variate X with mean mu and variance sigma^2 is a statistic distribution with probability density function ...

J_n(x)=1/piint_0^picos(ntheta-xsintheta)dtheta, where J_n(x) is a Bessel function of the first kind.

If m is an integer, then for every residue class r (mod m), there are infinitely many nonnegative integers n for which P(n)=r (mod m), where P(n) is the partition function P.

A discontinuity is point at which a mathematical object is discontinuous. The left figure above illustrates a discontinuity in a one-variable function while the right figure ...

A cubic number is a figurate number of the form n^3 with n a positive integer. The first few are 1, 8, 27, 64, 125, 216, 343, ... (OEIS A000578). The protagonist Christopher ...

A basis, form, function, etc., in two or more variables is said to be multilinear if it is linear in each variable separately.

Square triangle picking is the selection of triples of points (corresponding to endpoints of a triangle) randomly placed inside a square. n random triangles can be picked in ...
