The minimal residue of a (mod m) is the value b or b-m, whichever is smaller in absolute value, where a=b (mod m). If m=2b (so that b=|b-m|), then the minimal residue is ...

The Minkowski measure of a bounded, closed set is the same as its Lebesgue measure.

Let R be a number ring of degree n with 2s imaginary embeddings. Then every ideal class of R contains an ideal J such that ||J||<=(n!)/(n^n)(4/pi)^ssqrt(|disc(R)|), where ...

The operation of subtraction, i.e., a minus b. The operation is denoted a-b. The minus sign "-" is also used to denote a negative number, i.e., -x.

The symbol "-" which is used to denote a negative number or subtraction.

A mixed fraction is an improper fraction p/q>1 written in the form n+r/s. In common usage such as cooking recipes, n+r/s is often written as n r/s (e.g., 1 1/2), much to the ...

A number b_(2n) having generating function sum_(n=0)^(infty)b_(2n)x^(2n) = 1/2ln((e^(x/2)-e^(-x/2))/(1/2x)) (1) = 1/2ln2+1/(48)x^2-1/(5760)x^4+1/(362880)x^6-.... (2) For n=1, ...

A technically defined group characterizing a system of linear differential equations y_j^'=sum_(k=1)^na_(jk)(x)y_k for j=1, ..., n, where a_(jk) are complex analytic ...

An integer which is expressible in only one way in the form x^2+Dy^2 or x^2-Dy^2 where x^2 is relatively prime to Dy^2. If the integer is expressible in more than one way, it ...

A knot K embedded in R^3=C_z×R_t, where the three-dimensional space R^3 is represented as a direct product of a complex line C with coordinate z and a real line R with ...
