A self-adjoint elliptic differential operator defined somewhat technically as Delta=ddelta+deltad, where d is the exterior derivative and d and delta are adjoint to each ...

In two-dimensional bipolar coordinates, Laplace's equation is ((coshv-cosu)^2)/(a^2)((partialF^2)/(partialu^2)+(partialF^2)/(partialv^2))=0, which simplifies to ...

Laplace's integral is one of the following integral representations of the Legendre polynomial P_n(x), P_n(x) = 1/piint_0^pi(du)/((x+sqrt(x^2-1)cosu)^(n+1))du (1) = ...

A submodule L of a module M such that for any other nonzero submodule K of M, the intersection L intersection K is not the zero module. L is also called an essential ...

The statistical index P_L=(sump_nq_0)/(sump_0q_0), where p_n is the price per unit in period n and q_0 is the quantity produced in the initial period.

A generalization of the concept of set unions and intersections.

In the plane, there are 17 lattice groups, eight of which are pure translation. In R^3, there are 32 point groups and 230 space groups. In R^4, there are 4783 space lattice ...

The latus rectum of a conic section is the chord through a focus parallel to the conic section directrix (Coxeter 1969). "Latus rectum" is a compound of the Latin latus, ...

A law in (2-valued) logic which states there is no third alternative to truth or falsehood. In other words, for any statement A, either A or not-A must be true and the other ...

The United States Department of Commerce recommends that the notation lbx be used to refer to the binary logarithm log_2x (Taylor 1995, p. 33). However, this practice is not ...
