A collection of faces of an n-dimensional polytope or simplicial complex, one of each dimension 0, 1, ..., n-1, which all have a common nonempty intersection. In normal three ...

Let the opposite sides of a convex cyclic hexagon be a, a^', b, b^', c, and c^', and let the polygon diagonals e, f, and g be so chosen that a, a^', and e have no common ...

A dipyramid having a hexagonal base. The volume of a hexagonal pyramid having a regular hexagon with side length a as a base and of half-height h is therefore V=sqrt(3)a^2h. ...

A term used in category theory to mean a general morphism. The term derives from the Greek omicronmuomicron (omo) "alike" and muomicronrhophiomegasigmaiotasigma (morphosis), ...

Interest is a fee (or payment) made for the borrowing (or lending) of money. The two most common types of interest are simple interest, for which interest is paid only on the ...

A submodule N of a module M that is not the intersection of two submodules of M in which it is properly contained. In other words, for all submodules N_1 and N_2 of M, N=N_1 ...

The Jacobian of a linear net of curves of order n is a curve of order 3(n-1). It passes through all points common to all curves of the net. It is the locus of points where ...

A left eigenvector is defined as a row vector X_L satisfying X_LA=lambda_LX_L. In many common applications, only right eigenvectors (and not left eigenvectors) need be ...

The centroid of the four points constituting an orthocentric system is the center of the common nine-point circle (Johnson 1929, p. 249). This fact automatically guarantees ...

The plumbing of a p-sphere and a q-sphere is defined as the disjoint union of S^p×D^q and D^p×S^q with their common D^p×D^q, identified via the identity homeomorphism. This ...
