Deciding whether a given Boolean formula in conjunctive normal form has an assignment that makes the formula "true." In 1971, Cook showed that the problem is NP-complete.

A low-pass filter which is useful for smoothing data.

The partial differential equation u_t+45u^2u_x+15u_xu_(xx)+15uu_(xxx)+u_(xxxxx)=0.

A diagonal matrix whose diagonal elements all contain the same scalar lambda. A scalar matrix is therefore equivalent to lambdaI, where I is the identity matrix.

Scalar multiplication refers to the multiplication of a vector by a constant s, producing a vector in the same (for s>0) or opposite (for s<0) direction but of different ...

A scalene triangle is a triangle that has three unequal sides, such as those illustrated above.

Increasing a plane figure's linear dimensions by a scale factor s increases the perimeter p^'->sp and the area A^'->s^2A.

The Scarabaeus curve is a sextic curve given by the equation (x^2+y^2)(x^2+y^2+ax)^2-b^2(x^2-y^2)^2=0 and by the polar equation r=bcos(2theta)-acostheta where a,b!=0.

An operator relating the past asymptotic state of a dynamical system governed by the Schrödinger equation id/(dt)psi(t)=Hpsi(t) to its future asymptotic state.

A correspondence between a permutation and a pair of Young tableaux.
