The dihedral group D_6 gives the group of symmetries of a regular hexagon. The group generators are given by a counterclockwise rotation through pi/3 radians and reflection ...

The partial order width of a set P is equal to the minimum number of chains needed to cover P. Equivalently, if a set P of ab+1 elements is partially ordered, then P contains ...

A surface of constant negative curvature obtained by twisting a pseudosphere and given by the parametric equations x = acosusinv (1) y = asinusinv (2) z = ...

Dini's theorem is a result in real analysis relating pointwise convergence of sequences of functions to uniform convergence on a closed interval. For an increasing sequence ...

A general quadratic Diophantine equation in two variables x and y is given by ax^2+cy^2=k, (1) where a, c, and k are specified (positive or negative) integers and x and y are ...

The discrete uniform distribution is also known as the "equally likely outcomes" distribution. Letting a set S have N elements, each of them having the same probability, then ...

A coordinate system defined by the transformation equations x = a/Lambdacnmucnnucospsi (1) y = a/Lambdacnmucnnusinpsi (2) z = a/Lambdasnmudnmusnnudnnu, (3) where ...

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 = ...

The divergence theorem, more commonly known especially in older literature as Gauss's theorem (e.g., Arfken 1985) and also known as the Gauss-Ostrogradsky theorem, is a ...

The dodecahedron-small triambic icosahedron compound is a stellated form of a truncated icosahedron, but a different truncation than in the truncated icosahedron Archimedean ...
