The bifolium is a folium with b=0. The bifolium is a quartic curve and is given by the implicit equation is (x^2+y^2)^2=4axy^2 (1) and the polar equation ...

A bridgeless graph, also called an isthmus-free graph, is a graph that contains no graph bridges. Examples of bridgeless graphs include complete graphs on n>2 nodes, cycle ...

A method for verifying the correctness of an arithmetical operation on natural numbers, based on the same principle as casting out nines. The methods of sevens takes ...

Let P be the principal (initial investment), r be the annual compounded rate, i^((n)) the "nominal rate," n be the number of times interest is compounded per year (i.e., the ...

A sphere with a single cross-cap. This term is more appropriate in purely topological applications than the more common term real projective plane, which implies the presence ...

Togliatti surfaces are quintic surfaces having the maximum possible number of ordinary double points (31). A related surface sometimes known as the dervish can be defined by ...

Let Delta_1, Delta_2, and Delta_3 be tetrahedra in projective three-space P^3. Then the tetrahedra are said to be desmically related if there exist constants alpha, beta, and ...

A n-dipyramidal graph is the skeleton of an n-sided dipyramid. It is isomorphic to the (m,2)-cone graph C_m+K^__2, where C_m is a cycle graph, K^__2 is the empty graph on 2 ...

A right triangle whose legs are in the ratio 2:1 is sometimes known as a "dom," a name derived from "half a domino." The name was suggested by Andrew Clarke and preferred in ...

Let K be the knot above, and let the homomorphism h taking a knot K_1 to its companion knot K_2 be faithful (i.e., taking the preferred longitude and meridian of the original ...
