A line segment on the boundary of a face, also called a side.

A point at which two polygon edges of a polygon meet.

If a is (directly) proportional to b, then a/b is a constant. The relationship is written a proportional b, which implies a=cb, for some constant c known as the constant of ...

The robustness of a given outcome to small changes in initial conditions or small random fluctuations. Chaos is an example of a process which is not stable.

If the Lexis ratio L<1, a set of trials are said to be subnormal.

The polygon formed by the lines tangent to the circumcircle of a polygon. The tangential polygon of an n-gon is itself an n-gon.

A polynomial in a single variable, e.g., P(x)=a_2x^2+a_1x+a_0, as opposed to a multivariate polynomial.

X is a p^'-group if p does not divide the group order of X.

A multiplicative factor (usually indexed) such as one of the constants a_i in the polynomial a_nx^n+a_(n-1)x^(n-1)+...+a_2x^2+a_1x+a_0. In this polynomial, the monomials are ...
