The volume of a solid body is the amount of "space" it occupies. Volume has units of length cubed (i.e., cm^3, m^3, in^3, etc.) For example, the volume of a box (cuboid) of ...

Surface area is the area of a given surface. Roughly speaking, it is the "amount" of a surface (i.e., it is proportional to the amount of paint needed to cover it), and has ...

Let D be a domain in R^n for n>=3. Then the transformation v(x_1^',...,x_n^')=(a/(r^'))^(n-2)u((a^2x_1^')/(r^('2)),...,(a^2x_n^')/(r^('2))) onto a domain D^', where ...

Let D=D(z_0,R) be an open disk, and let u be a harmonic function on D such that u(z)>=0 for all z in D. Then for all z in D, we have 0<=u(z)<=(R/(R-|z-z_0|))^2u(z_0).

Let u_1<=u_2<=... be harmonic functions on a connected open set U subset= C. Then either u_j->infty uniformly on compact sets or there is a finite-values harmonic function u ...

Given a Poisson process, the probability of obtaining exactly n successes in N trials is given by the limit of a binomial distribution P_p(n|N)=(N!)/(n!(N-n)!)p^n(1-p)^(N-n). ...

An arithmetic series is the sum of a sequence {a_k}, k=1, 2, ..., in which each term is computed from the previous one by adding (or subtracting) a constant d. Therefore, for ...

In his famous paper of 1859, Riemann stated that the number N(T) of Riemann zeta function zeros sigma+it with 0<t<=T is asymptotically given by ...
