A change in a knot projection such that a pair of oppositely oriented strands are passed through another pair of oppositely oriented strands.

Let gamma be a path given parametrically by sigma(t). Let s denote arc length from the initial point. Then int_gammaf(s)ds = int_a^bf(sigma(t))|sigma^'(t)|dt (1) = ...

An m×n matrix which gives the possible outcome of a two-person zero-sum game when player A has m possible moves and player B n moves. The analysis of the matrix in order to ...

The function f(x,y)=(2x^2-y)(y-x^2) which does not have a local maximum at (0, 0), despite criteria commonly touted in the second half of the 1800s which indicated the ...

A curve given by the Cartesian equation b^2y^2=x^3(a-x). (1) It has area A=(a^3pi)/(8b). (2) The curvature is kappa(x)=(2b^2(3a^2-12ax+8x^2))/(sqrt(x)[4b^2(a-x)+(3a-4x)^2x]). ...

y^m=kx^n(a-x)^b. The curves with integer n, b, and m were studied by de Sluze between 1657 and 1698. The name "Pearls of Sluze" was given to these curves by Blaise Pascal ...

I((chi_s^2)/(sqrt(2(k-1))),(k-3)/2)=(Gamma(1/2chi_s^2,(k-1)/2))/(Gamma((k-1)/2)), where Gamma(x) is the gamma function.

The pedal coordinates of a point P with respect to the curve C and the pedal point O are the radial distance r from O to P and the perpendicular distance p from O to the line ...

Mark a point P on a side of a triangle and draw the perpendiculars from the point to the two other sides. The line between the feet of these two perpendiculars is called the ...

The fixed point with respect to which a pedal curve or pedal triangle is drawn.
