The radial curve of the astroid x = acos^3t (1) y = asin^3t (2) is the quadrifolium x_r = x_0+12acostsin^2t (3) y_r = y_0+12acos^2tsint. (4)

An asymmetric matrix is a square matrix that is not symmetric, i.e., a matrix A such that A^(T)!=A, where A^(T) denotes the transpose. An asymmetric matrix therefore ...

Asymptotic behavior. A useful yet endangered word, found rarely outside the captivity of the Oxford English Dictionary (Simpson and Weiner 1992, p. 82).

An asymptote is a line or curve that approaches a given curve arbitrarily closely, as illustrated in the above diagram. The plot above shows 1/x, which has a vertical ...

A theorem from information theory that is a simple consequence of the weak law of large numbers. It states that if a set of values X_1, X_2, ..., X_n is drawn independently ...

The sextic curve also known as atriphtothlassic curve and given by the equation x^4(x^2+y^2)-(ax^2-b)^2=0, where a,b>0.

The Atzema spiral, also known as the Pritch-Atzema spiral, is the curve whose catacaustic for a radiant point at the origin is a circle, as illustrated above. It has ...

A type of sale in which members of a group of buyers offer ever increasing amounts. The bidder making the last bid (for which no higher bid is subsequently made within a ...

A pair of numbers m and n such that sigma(m)=sigma(n)=m+n-1, where sigma(m) is the divisor function. Beck and Najar (1977) found 11 augmented amicable pairs.

The augmented dodecahedron is Johnson solid J_(58), which is formed from augmentation of one of the faces of the regular dodecahedron by an equilateral pentagonal pyramid. It ...
