The set lambda of linear Möbius transformations w which satisfy w(t)=(at+b)/(ct+d), where a and d are odd and b and c are even. lambda is a subgroup of the modular group ...

The kernel of a module homomorphism f:M-->N is the set of all elements of M which are mapped to zero. It is the kernel of f as a homomorphism of additive groups, and is a ...

Monster-barring is a term coined by Lakatos (1976) to refer to the refining of a hypothesis to rule out nasty counterexamples (Bailey et al. 2007, p. 11).

Pathological functions that are continuous but differentiable only on a set of points of measure zero are sometimes known as monsters of real analysis. Examples include the ...

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 ...

A nonempty finite set of n×n integer matrices for which there exists some product of the matrices in the set which is equal to the zero matrix.

The number k in the expression s(n)=kn for a multiperfect number is called its class.

A function for which several distinct functional values correspond (as a result of different continuations) to one and the same point (Knopp 1996, p. 94).

A multiplicand is a quantity that is multiplied by another (the multiplier). For example, in the expression a×b, b is the multiplicand. The result of the multiplication of ...

Multisection of a mathematical quantity or figure is division of it into a number of (usually) equal parts. Division of a quantity into two equal parts is known as bisection, ...
