Capable of taking on exactly one possible value.

If A is true unless B, then not-B implies A, but B does not necessarily imply not-A.

If the first nonzero component of the vector difference A-B is >0, then A≻B. If the first nonzero component of A-B is <0, then A≺B.

Vector subtraction is the process of taking a vector difference, and is the inverse operation to vector addition.

The symbol v variously means "disjunction" (i.e., OR in logic) or "join" (for a lattice).

A surface represented parametrically by elliptic functions.

n weighings are sufficient to find a bad coin among (3^n-1)/2 coins (Steinhaus 1999, p. 61). vos Savant (1993) gives an algorithm for finding a bad ball among 12 balls in ...

A "weird number" is a number that is abundant (i.e., the sum of proper divisors is greater than the number) without being pseudoperfect (i.e., no subset of the proper ...

A three-dimensional surface with constant vector field on its boundary which traps at least one trajectory which enters it.

In general, groups are not Abelian. However, there is always a group homomorphism h:G->G^' to an Abelian group, and this homomorphism is called Abelianization. The ...
