A fallacy is an incorrect result arrived at by apparently correct, though actually specious reasoning. The great Greek geometer Euclid wrote an entire book on geometric ...

Let T_n(x) be an arbitrary trigonometric polynomial T_n(x)=1/2a_0+{sum_(k=1)^n[a_kcos(kx)+b_ksin(kx)]} (1) with real coefficients, let f be a function that is integrable over ...

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 ...

Given a decimal-valued floating-point operation in the IEEE 754-2008 standard, the preferred exponent is the value of the exponent q which preserves the quantum of the ...

The Fransén-Robinson constant F is defined by F=int_0^infty(dx)/(Gamma(x))=2.8077702420... (OEIS A058655) where Gamma(x) is the gamma function. No closed-form expression in ...

Fredholm's theorem states that, if A is an m×n matrix, then the orthogonal complement of the row space of A is the null space of A, and the orthogonal complement of the ...

Let a^p+b^p=c^p be a solution to Fermat's last theorem. Then the corresponding Frey curve is y^2=x(x-a^p)(x+b^p). (1) Ribet (1990a) showed that such curves cannot be modular, ...

Let Omega be an open, bounded, and connected subset of R^d for some d and let dx denote d-dimensional Lebesgue measure on R^d. In functional analysis, the Friedrichs ...

Let f(x) be a monic polynomial of degree d with discriminant Delta. Then an odd integer n with (n,f(0)Delta)=1 is called a Frobenius pseudoprime with respect to f(x) if it ...
