The sum of the aliquot divisors of n, given by s(n)=sigma(n)-n, where sigma(n) is the divisor function. The first few values are 0, 1, 1, 3, 1, 6, 1, 7, 4, 8, 1, 16, ... ...

A subspace A of X is called a retract of X if there is a continuous map f:X->X (called a retraction) such that for all x in X and all a in A, 1. f(x) in A, and 2. f(a)=a. ...

A retraction is a continuous map of a space onto a subspace leaving each point of the subspace fixed. Alternatively, retraction can refer to withdrawal of a paper containing ...

An algorithm for computing an Egyptian fraction.

For P and Q polynomials in n variables, |P·Q|_2^2=sum_(i_1,...,i_n>=0)(|P^((i_1,...,i_n))(D_1,...,D_n)Q(x_1,...,x_n)|_2^2)/(i_1!...i_n!), where D_i=partial/partialx_i, |X|_2 ...

A polyhedron with extra square faces, given by the Schläfli symbol r{p; q}.

A beautiful class of polyhedra composed of rhombic faces discovered accidentally by R. Towle while attempting to develop a function to create a rhombic hexahedron from a ...

A parallelogram in which angles are oblique and adjacent sides are of unequal length.

If the knot K is the boundary K=f(S^1) of a singular disk f:D->S^3 which has the property that each self-intersecting component is an arc A subset f(D^2) for which f^(-1)(A) ...

If the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture holds for all semistable elliptic curves, then Fermat's last theorem is true. Before its proof by Ribet in 1986, the theorem had been ...
