A cryptarithmetic in which the letters used to represent distinct digits are derived from related words or meaningful phrases. The term was coined by Hunter in 1955 (Madachy ...

The alternating harmonic series is the series sum_(k=1)^infty((-1)^(k-1))/k=ln2, which is the special case eta(1) of the Dirichlet eta function eta(z) and also the x=1 case ...

A knot diagram which has alternating under- and overcrossings as the knot projection is traversed. The first knot which does not have an alternating diagram has 8 crossings.

Also known as the Leibniz criterion. An alternating series converges if a_1>=a_2>=... and lim_(k->infty)a_k=0.

An alternating sign matrix is a matrix of 0s, 1s, and -1s in which the entries in each row or column sum to 1 and the nonzero entries in each row and column alternate in ...

The term used in propositional calculus for the NAND connective. The notation A|B is used for this connective, a most unfortunate choice in light of modern usage of A|B or ...

The plane through an edge of a trihedron drawn perpendicularly to the opposite face. The term was first used by J. Neuberg (Altshiller-Court 1979, p. 298).

An expression is said to be ambiguous (or poorly defined) if its definition does not assign it a unique interpretation or value. An expression which is not ambiguous is said ...

An impossible hexnut modeled after the impossible torus. The figure above shows three impossible figures: the ambihelical hexnut in the lower left-hand corner, tribox in the ...

For every ergodic flow on a nonatomic probability space, there is a measurable set intersecting almost every orbit in a discrete set.
