A natural number n>3 such that n|(a^(n-2)-a) whenever (a,n)=1 (a and n are relatively prime) and a<=n. (Here, n|m means that n divides m.) There are an infinite number of ...

The symbol | most commonly used to denote the adjoint operator. The dagger is also known as the obelisk, obelus, or long cross (Bringhurst 1997, p. 275).

The rotation vector of the trihedron of a curve with curvature kappa!=0 when a point moves along a curve with unit speed. It is given by D=tauT+kappaB, (1) where tau is the ...

A surface of revolution of the form r(phi)=a[1-esin^2phi-(3/8e^2+k)sin^2(2phi)], where k is a second-order correction to the figure of a rotating fluid.

A formal structure for the organization of information. Examples of data structures include the list, queue, stack, and tree.

A database can be roughly defined as a structure consisting of 1. A collection of information (the data), 2. A collection of queries that can be submitted, and 3. A ...

A wavelet used for filtering signals. Daubechies (1988, p. 980) has tabulated the numerical values up to order p=10.

A decagon is a ten-sided polygon. Several special types of decagons are illustrated above. In particular, a decagon with vertices equally spaced around a circle and with all ...

A figurate number of the form 4n^2-3n. The first few are 1, 10, 27, 52, 85, ... (OEIS A001107). The generating function giving the decagonal numbers is ...

A polyhedral graph having 10 vertices. There are 32300 nonisomorphic nonahedral graphs, as first enumerated by Duijvestijn and Federico (1981).
