The property of being continuous.

A number taken to the power 3 is said to be cubed, so x^3 is called "x cubed." This terminology derives from the fact that the volume of a cube of edge length x is given by ...

The cumulative count of property P for a sequence S_n={a_1,a_2,...,a_n} is a sequence of counts of the numbers of elements a_i with i<=k that satisfy P for k=1, 2, ..., n. ...

The invariance of domain theorem states that if f:M->N is a one-to-one and continuous map between n-manifolds without boundary, then f is an open map.

If the lines joining corresponding points of two directly similar figures are divided proportionally, then the locus of the points of the division will be a figure directly ...

The conjecture that Frey's elliptic curve was not modular. The conjecture was quickly proved by Ribet (Ribet's theorem) in 1986, and was an important step in the proof of ...

There exists an absolute constant C such that for any positive integer m, the discrepancy of any sequence {alpha_n} satisfies ...

An endomorphism is called ergodic if it is true that T^(-1)A=A implies m(A)=0 or 1, where T^(-1)A={x in X:T(x) in A}. Examples of ergodic endomorphisms include the map X->2x ...

F_x[cos(2pik_0x)](k) = int_(-infty)^inftye^(-2piikx)((e^(2piik_0x)+e^(-2piik_0x))/2)dx (1) = 1/2int_(-infty)^infty[e^(-2pii(k-k_0)x)+e^(-2pii(k+k_0)x)]dx (2) = ...

F_x[1/pi(1/2Gamma)/((x-x_0)^2+(1/2Gamma)^2)](k)=e^(-2piikx_0-Gammapi|k|). This transform arises in the computation of the characteristic function of the Cauchy distribution.
