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

An even perfect number is perfect number that is even, i.e., an even number n whose sum of divisors (including n itself) equals n. All known perfect numbers are even, and ...

An exponent is the power p in an expression of the form a^p. The process of performing the operation of raising a base to a given power is known as exponentiation.

The third-order ordinary differential equation y^(''')+alphayy^('')+beta(1-y^('2))=0.

The Farey sequence F_n for any positive integer n is the set of irreducible rational numbers a/b with 0<=a<=b<=n and (a,b)=1 arranged in increasing order. The first few are ...

A plane curve of the form y=x^n. For n>0, the curve is a generalized parabola; for n<0 it is a generalized hyperbola.

A distribution which arises in the study of half-integer spin particles in physics, P(k)=(k^s)/(e^(k-mu)+1). (1) Its integral is given by int_0^infty(k^sdk)/(e^(k-mu)+1) = ...

The intersection phi(G) of all maximal subgroups of a given group G.

A smooth curve which corresponds to the limiting case of a histogram computed for a frequency distribution of a continuous distribution as the number of data points becomes ...

A congruence of the form f(x)=g(x) (mod n), where f(x) and g(x) are both integer polynomials. Functional congruences are sometimes also called "identical congruences" (Nagell ...
