An n-tuple, sometimes simply called a "tuple" when the number n is known implicitly, is another word for a list, i.e., an ordered set of n elements. It can be interpreted as ...

q-calculus or quantum calculus is a methodology comparable to the usual study of calculus but which is centered on the idea of deriving q-analogous results without the use of ...

A q-analog of the Chu-Vandermonde identity given by where _2phi_1(a,b;c;q,z) is the q-hypergeometric function. The identity can also be written as ...

Given a real number q>1, the series x=sum_(n=0)^inftya_nq^(-n) is called the q-expansion, or beta-expansion (Parry 1957), of the positive real number x if, for all n>=0, ...

The exponential function has two different natural q-extensions, denoted e_q(z) and E_q(z). They are defined by e_q(z) = sum_(n=0)^(infty)(z^n)/((q;q)_n) (1) = _1phi_0[0; ...

A q-analog of Gauss's theorem due to Jacobi and Heine, _2phi_1(a,b;c;q,c/(ab))=((c/a;q)_infty(c/b;q)_infty)/((c;q)_infty(c/(ab);q)_infty) (1) for |c/(ab)|<1 (Gordon and ...

Divide a triangle by its three medians into six smaller triangles. Surprisingly, the circumcenters O_(AB), O_(BA), etc. of the six circumcircles of these smaller triangles ...

Van der Corput sequences are a means of generating sequences of points that are maximally self-avoiding (a.k.a. quasirandom sequences). In the one-dimensional case, the ...

The van der Grinten projection is a map projection given by the transformation x = (1) y = sgn(phi)(pi|PQ-Asqrt((A^2+1)(P^2+A^2)-Q^2)|)/(P^2+A^2), (2) where A = ...

The van der Pol equation is an ordinary differential equation that can be derived from the Rayleigh differential equation by differentiating and setting y=y^'. It is an ...
