The upper horizontal line segment in the above figure appears to be longer than the lower line segment despite the fact that both are the same length.

Given f:X->Y, the image of x is f(x). The preimage of y is then f^(-1)(y)={x|f(x)=y}, or all x whose image is y. Images are elements of the range, while preimages are subsets ...

Given algebraic numbers a_1, ..., a_n it is always possible to find a single algebraic number b such that each of a_1, ..., a_n can be expressed as a polynomial in b with ...

An algebraic structure whose elements consist of selected homeomorphisms between open subsets of a space, with the composition of two transformations defined on the largest ...

An action which adds a single element to the top of a stack, turning the stack (a_1, a_2, ..., a_n) into (a_0, a_1, a_2, ..., a_n).

R^+ denotes the real positive numbers.

Given a function f specified by parametric variables u_1, ..., u_n, a reparameterization f^^ of f over domain U is a change of variables u_i in U->v_i->V via a function phi ...

A method for predicting the onset of widespread chaos.

A scalar is a one-component quantity that is invariant under rotations of the coordinate system.

The functional equation phi(f(x))=sphi(x), with s!=0,1.
