The abscissas of the N-point Gaussian quadrature formula are precisely the roots of the orthogonal polynomial for the same interval and weighting function.

Two unit-speed plane curves which have the same curvature differ only by a Euclidean motion.

Any collineation from P(V) to P(V), where V is a three-dimensional vector space, is associated with a semilinear map from V to V.

On a Riemannian manifold, there is a unique connection which is torsion-free and compatible with the metric. This connection is called the Levi-Civita connection.

A game which permits a draw ("tie") when played properly by both players. Tic-tac-toe, for example, is a futile game.

The G-transform of a function f(x) is defined by the integral (Gf)(x)=(G_(pq)^(mn)|(a_p); (b_q)|f(t))(x) (1) =1/(2pii)int_sigmaGamma[(b_m)+s, 1-(a_n)-s; (a_p^(n+1))+s, ...

The gabled rhombohedra are a family of elongated gyrobifastigium that are space-filling. The equilateral elongated gyrobifastigium, illustrated above, is one such example.

The computer animation format MPEG-7 uses Gabor functions to specify texture descriptors.

A term of endearment used by algebraic topologists when talking about their favorite power tools such as Abelian groups, bundles, homology groups, homotopy groups, K-theory, ...

The Galilean spiral is the curve with polar equation r=btheta^2-a for a>0 which describes the trajectory of a point uniformly accelerated along a line rotating about a point.
