Two or more lines which have no intersections but are not parallel, also called agonic lines. Since two lines in the plane must intersect or be parallel, skew lines can exist ...

A four-sided quadrilateral not contained in a plane. The lines connecting the midpoints of opposite sides of a skew quadrilateral intersect (and bisect) each other (Steinhaus ...

Consider a formula in prenex normal form, Q_1x_1...Q_nx_nN. If Q_i is the existential quantifier (1<=i<=n) and x_k, ..., x_m are all the universal quantifier variables such ...

The slant height of an object (such as a frustum, or pyramid) is the distance measured along a lateral face from the base to the apex along the "center" of the face. In other ...

For a braid with M strands, R components, P positive crossings, and N negative crossings, {P-N<=U_++M-R if P>=N; P-N<=U_-+M-R if P<=N, (1) where U_+/- are the smallest number ...

A knot K in S^3=partialD^4 is a slice knot if it bounds a disk Delta^2 in D^4 which has a tubular neighborhood Delta^2×D^2 whose intersection with S^3 is a tubular ...

A mechanical device consisting of a sliding portion and a fixed case, each marked with logarithmic axes. By lining up the ticks, it is possible to do multiplication by taking ...

Slovin's formula, somtimes also spelled "Sloven's forumula (e.g., Altares et al. 2003, p. 13), is an ad hoc formula lacking mathematical rigor (Ryan 2013) that gives an ...

A small circle is a spheric section that does not contain a diameter of the sphere (Kern and Bland 1948, p. 87; Tietze 1965, p. 25).

The small ditrigonal dodecicosidodecahedron is the uniform polyhedron with Maeder index 42 (Maeder 1997), Wenninger index 82 (Wenninger 1989), Coxeter index 55 (Coxeter et ...
