The smallest n for which a point x_0 is a periodic point of a function f so that f^n(x_0)=x_0. For example, for the function f(x)=-x, all points x have period 2 (including ...

A point x in a manifold M is said to be nonwandering if, for every open neighborhood U of x, it is true that phi^nU intersection U!=emptyset for a map phi for some n>0. In ...

The north pole is the point on a sphere with maximum z-coordinate for a given coordinate system. For a rotating sphere like the Earth, the natural coordinate system is ...

The 60 Pascal lines of a hexagon inscribed in a conic intersect three at a time through 20 Steiner points, and also three at a time in 60 Kirkman points. Each Steiner point ...

If three conics pass through two given points Q and Q^', then the lines joining the other two intersections of each pair of conics P_(ij)P_(ij)^' are concurrent at a point X ...

Roughly speaking, a tangent vector is an infinitesimal displacement at a specific point on a manifold. The set of tangent vectors at a point P forms a vector space called the ...

If P is a point on the circumcircle of a reference triangle, then the line PP^(-1), where P^(-1) is the isogonal conjugate of P, is called the antipedal line of P. It is a ...

Suppose P=p:q:r and U=u:v:w are points, neither lying on a sideline of DeltaABC. Then the cevapoint of P and U is the point (pv+qu)(pw+ru):(qw+rv)(qu+pv) :(ru+pw)(rv+qw).

A map projection in which the distances between one or two points and every other point on the map differ from the corresponding distances on the sphere by only a constant ...

Two figures are homothetic if they are related by a dilation (a dilation is also known as a homothecy). This means that the connectors of corresponding points are concurrent ...
