The Feller-Tornier constant is the density of integers that have an even number of prime factors p_i^(a_i) with a_1>1 in their prime factorization. It is given by ...

The Fermat axis is the central line connecting the first and second Fermat points. It has line function l=a(b^2-c^2)(a^2-b^2-bc-c^2)(a^2-b^2+bc-c^2), corresponding to ...

In 1657, Fermat posed the problem of finding solutions to sigma(x^3)=y^2, and solutions to sigma(x^2)=y^3, where sigma(n) is the divisor function (Dickson 2005). The first ...

The converse of Fermat's little theorem is also known as Lehmer's theorem. It states that, if an integer x is prime to m and x^(m-1)=1 (mod m) and there is no integer e<m-1 ...

Fermat's sandwich theorem states that 26 is the only number sandwiched between a perfect square number (5^2=25) and a perfect cubic number (3^3=27). According to Singh ...

There are so many theorems due to Fermat that the term "Fermat's theorem" is best avoided unless augmented by a description of which theorem of Fermat is under discussion. ...

A self-avoiding polygon containing three corners of its minimal bounding rectangle. The anisotropic area and perimeter generating function G(x,y) and partial generating ...

The Feuerbach triangle is the triangle formed by the three points of tangency of the nine-point circle with the excircles (Kimberling 1998, p. 158). (The fact that the ...

The sequence of six 9s which begins at the 762nd decimal place of pi, pi=3.14159...134999999_()_(six 9s)837... (Wells 1986, p. 51). The positions of the first occurrences of ...

A fiber of a map f:X->Y is the preimage of an element y in Y. That is, f^(-1)(y)={x in X:f(x)=y}. For instance, let X and Y be the complex numbers C. When f(z)=z^2, every ...
