The general sextic equation x^6+a_5x^5+a_4x^4+a_3x^3+a_2x^2+a_1x+a_0=0 can be solved in terms of Kampé de Fériet functions, and a restricted class of sextics can be solved in ...

Let Sigma(n)=sum_(i=1)^np_i (1) be the sum of the first n primes (i.e., the sum analog of the primorial function). The first few terms are 2, 5, 10, 17, 28, 41, 58, 77, ... ...

A graph G having chromatic number chi(G)<=k is called a k-colorable graph (Harary 1994, p. 127). In contrast, a graph having chi(G)=k is said to be a k-chromatic graph. Note ...

Informally, an elliptic curve is a type of cubic curve whose solutions are confined to a region of space that is topologically equivalent to a torus. The Weierstrass elliptic ...

The continued fraction for Apéry's constant zeta(3) is [1; 4, 1, 18, 1, 1, 1, 4, 1, ...] (OEIS A013631). The positions at which the numbers 1, 2, ... occur in the continued ...

The triangular number T_n is a figurate number that can be represented in the form of a triangular grid of points where the first row contains a single element and each ...

A beautiful approximation to the Euler-Mascheroni constant gamma is given by pi/(2e)=0.57786367... (1) (OEIS A086056; E. W. Weisstein, Apr. 18, 2006), which is good to three ...

For even h, (1) (Nagell 1951, p. 176). Writing out symbolically, sum_(n=0)^h((-1)^nproduct_(k=0)^(n-1)(1-x^(h-k)))/(product_(k=1)^(n)(1-x^k))=product_(k=0)^(h/2-1)1-x^(2k+1), ...

The quintic equation x^5+ax^3+1/5a^2x+b=0 (1) is sometimes known as de Moivre's quintic (Spearman and Williams 1994). It has solutions x_j=omega^ju_1+omega^(4j)u_2 (2) for ...

Given a Schwarz triangle (p q r), replacing each polygon vertex with its antipodes gives the three colunar spherical triangles (p q^' r^'),(p^' q r^'),(p^' q^' r), (1) where ...
