The Stolarsky mean of two numbers a and c is defined by S_p(a,c)=[(a^p-c^p)/(p(a-c))]^(1/(p-1)) (Havil 2003, p. 121).

A theorem which specifies the structure of the generic unitary representation of the Weyl relations and thus establishes the equivalence of Heisenberg's matrix mechanics and ...

Let P(L) be the set of all prime ideals of L, and define r(a)={P|a not in P}. Then the Stone space of L is the topological space defined on P(L) by postulating that the sets ...

A knot used to prevent the end of a string from slipping through a hole.

A straight angle is an angle equal to 180 degrees=pi radians. Two right angles make a straight angle, and two straight angles make a full angle.

An idealized mathematical object having a rigorously straight edge which can be used to draw a line segment. Although geometric constructions are sometimes said to be ...

Two numbers which are relatively prime.

The Machin-like formula 1/4pi=cot^(-1)2+cot^(-1)5+cot^(-1)8.

A set of moves which a player plans to follow while playing a game.

A set that is a smooth embedded two-dimensional manifold except for a subset that consists of smooth embedded curves, except for a set of isolated points.
