A cubic curve is an algebraic curve of curve order 3. An algebraic curve over a field K is an equation f(X,Y)=0, where f(X,Y) is a polynomial in X and Y with coefficients in ...

Although Bessel functions of the second kind are sometimes called Weber functions, Abramowitz and Stegun (1972) define a separate Weber function as ...

When the Gaussian curvature K is everywhere negative, a surface is called anticlastic and is saddle-shaped. A surface on which K is everywhere positive is called synclastic. ...

A vaguely defined branch of mathematics dealing with varieties, the Mordell conjecture, Arakelov theory, and elliptic curves.

An asymptotic direction at a point p of a regular surface M in R^3 is a direction in which the normal curvature of M vanishes. 1. There are no asymptotic directions at an ...

A bilinear functional phi on a normed space E is called coercive (or sometimes elliptic) if there exists a positive constant K such that phi(x,x)>=K||x||^2 for all x in E.

A sphere with two handles and two holes, i.e., a genus-2 torus.

The general ellipsoid, also called a triaxial ellipsoid, is a quadratic surface which is given in Cartesian coordinates by (x^2)/(a^2)+(y^2)/(b^2)+(z^2)/(c^2)=1, (1) where ...

A modular form which is not allowed to have poles in the upper half-plane H or at iinfty.

A distribution of error such that the error remaining is always given approximately by the last term dropped.
