Let S_N(s)=sum_(n=1)^infty[(n^(1/N))]^(-s), (1) where [x] denotes nearest integer function, i.e., the integer closest to x. For s>3, S_2(s) = 2zeta(s-1) (2) S_3(s) = ...

The nonagon, also known as an enneagon, is a 9-sided polygon. Although the term "enneagon" is perhaps preferable (since it uses the Greek prefix and suffix instead of the ...

An egg-shaped curve. Lockwood (1967) calls the negative pedal curve of an ellipse with eccentricity e<=1/2 an ovoid.

A quadratic surface given by the equation x^2+2rz=0.

A partial differential equation of second-order, i.e., one of the form Au_(xx)+2Bu_(xy)+Cu_(yy)+Du_x+Eu_y+F=0, (1) is called parabolic if the matrix Z=[A B; B C] (2) ...

The specification of a curve, surface, etc., by means of one or more variables which are allowed to take on values in a given specified range.

A pentagon is a five-sided polygon. Several special types of pentagons are illustrated above. In particular, a pentagon with vertices equally spaced around a circle and with ...

The pentagrammic dipyramid is the dual polyhedron of the pentagrammic prism U_(78).

The motion along a phase curve as a function of time (Tabor 1989, p. 14).

Consider n intersecting ellipses. The maximal number of regions into which these divide the plane are N(n)=2n^2-2n+2=2(n^2-n+1), giving values for n=1, 2, ... of 2, 6, 14, ...
