The complex lattice Lambda_6^omega corresponding to real lattice K_(12) having the densest hypersphere packing (kissing number) in twelve dimensions. The associated ...

Cube point picking is the three-dimensional case of hypercube point picking. The average distance from a point picked at random inside a unit cube to the center is given by ...

Given four points chosen at random inside a unit cube, the average volume of the tetrahedron determined by these points is given by ...

An embedding of a 1-sphere in a 3-manifold which exists continuously over the 2-disk also extends over the disk as an embedding. An alternate phrasing is that if a knot group ...

A set S is discrete in a larger topological space X if every point x in S has a neighborhood U such that S intersection U={x}. The points of S are then said to be isolated ...

To generate random points over the unit disk, it is incorrect to use two uniformly distributed variables r in [0,1] and theta in [0,2pi) and then take x = rcostheta (1) y = ...

Elliptic geometry is a non-Euclidean geometry with positive curvature which replaces the parallel postulate with the statement "through any point in the plane, there exist no ...

A differential k-form can be integrated on an n-dimensional manifold. The basic example is an n-form alpha in the open unit ball in R^n. Since alpha is a top-dimensional ...

Given three coins of possibly different sizes which are arranged so that each is tangent to the other two, find the coin which is tangent to the other three coins. The ...

A function f is Fréchet differentiable at a if lim_(x->a)(f(x)-f(a))/(x-a) exists. This is equivalent to the statement that phi has a removable discontinuity at a, where ...
