The log-series distribution, also sometimes called the logarithmic distribution (although this work reserves that term for a distinct distribution), is the distribution of ...

The polynomials M_k(x;delta,eta) which form the Sheffer sequence for g(t) = {[1+deltaf(t)]^2+[f(t)]^2}^(eta/2) (1) f(t) = tan(t/(1+deltat)) (2) which have generating function ...

A Monge patch is a patch x:U->R^3 of the form x(u,v)=(u,v,h(u,v)), (1) where U is an open set in R^2 and h:U->R is a differentiable function. The coefficients of the first ...

Polynomials s_k(x) which form the Sheffer sequence for f(t)=-(2t)/(1-t^2) (1) and have exponential generating function ...

The natural parametric equations of a curve are parametric equations that represent the curve in terms of a coordinate-independent parameter, generally arc length s, instead ...

The radical circle of the Neuberg circles has circle function l=(a^2b^4-b^4c^2+a^2c^4-b^2c^4)/(bc(a^2b^2+a^2c^2+b^2c^2)), (1) which does not correspond to any Kimberling ...

Amazingly, the distribution of a difference of two normally distributed variates X and Y with means and variances (mu_x,sigma_x^2) and (mu_y,sigma_y^2), respectively, is ...

An epicycloid with n=5 cusps, named after the buttercup genus Ranunculus (Madachy 1979). Its parametric equations are x = a[6cost-cos(6t)] (1) y = a[6sint-sin(6t)]. (2) Its ...

The sum of reciprocal multifactorials can be given in closed form by the beautiful formula m(n) = sum_(n=0)^(infty)1/(n!...!_()_(k)) (1) = ...

A related rates problem is the determination of the rate at which a function defined in terms of other functions changes. Related rates problems can be solved by computing ...
