A pivot point of a curve is a fixed point Q such that points P lying on the curve and their (isogonal, isotomic, etc.) conjugates are collinear with Q.

For n points in the plane, there are at least N_1=sqrt(n-3/4)-1/2 different distances. The minimum distance can occur only <=3n-6 times, and the maximum distance can occur ...

Consider n intersecting ellipses. The maximal number of regions into which these divide the plane are N(n)=2n^2-2n+2=2(n^2-n+1), giving values for n=1, 2, ... of 2, 6, 14, ...

The symbol +/- is used to denote a quantity which should be both added and subtracted, as in a+/-b. The symbol can be used to denote a range of uncertainty, or to denote a ...

Poisson's theorem gives the estimate (n!)/(k!(n-k)!)p^kq^(n-k)∼e^(-np)((np)^k)/(k!) for the probability of an event occurring k times in n trials with n>>1, p<<1, and np ...

A polygrammic prism is a prism formed by two regular polygrams offset along their symmetry axis and with corresponding edges connected by lateral faces. The hexagrammic prism ...

A triangle center is said to be polynomial iff there is a triangle center function f that is a polynomial in a, b, and c (Kimberling 1998, p. 46).

Polypons are polyforms obtained from dividing a regular triangular grid into 30-30-120 triangles, illustrated above. The numbers of polypons with n=1, 2, ... components are ...

An iterated fibration of Eilenberg-Mac lane spaces. Every topological space has this homotopy type.

The power polynomials x^n are an associated Sheffer sequence with f(t)=t, (1) giving generating function sum_(k=0)^inftyx^kt^k=1/(1-tx) (2) and exponential generating ...
