To pick a random point on the surface of a unit sphere, it is incorrect to select spherical coordinates theta and phi from uniform distributions theta in [0,2pi) and phi in ...

The geodesic on an oblate spheroid can be computed analytically, although the resulting expression is much more unwieldy than for a simple sphere. A spheroid with equatorial ...

An algebraic equation in n variables is an polynomial equation of the form f(x_1,x_2,...,x_n)=sum_(e_1,...,e_n)c_(e_1,e_2,...,e_n)x_1^(e_1)x_2^(e_2)...x_n^(e_n)=0, where the ...

The polar curve r=1+2cos(2theta) (1) that can be used for angle trisection. It was devised by Ceva in 1699, who termed it the cycloidum anomalarum (Loomis 1968, p. 29). It ...

Let (q_1,...,q_n,p_1,...,p_n) be any functions of two variables (u,v). Then the expression ...

The metabiaugmented dodecahedron is a convex equilateral solid that is Johnson solid J_(60). The unit metabiaugmented dodecahedron has volume V=1/6(25+11sqrt(5)) (1) and Dehn ...

The parabiaugmented dodecahedron is a convex equilateral solid that is Johnson solid J_(60). The unit parabiaugmented dodecahedron has volume V=1/6(25+11sqrt(5)) (1) and Dehn ...

The metabigyrate rhombicosidodecahedron is a convex equilateral solid obtained by rotating two of the pentagonal cupolas of a small rhombicosidodecahedron located in the ...

The tetranacci numbers are a generalization of the Fibonacci numbers defined by T_0=0, T_1=1, T_2=1, T_3=2, and the recurrence relation T_n=T_(n-1)+T_(n-2)+T_(n-3)+T_(n-4) ...

Trigonometric functions of npi/11 for n an integer cannot be expressed in terms of sums, products, and finite root extractions on real rational numbers because 11 is not a ...
