Measurements of a centered convex body in Euclidean n-space (for n>=3) show that its brightness function (the volume of each projection) is smaller than that of another such ...

An authalic latitude given by phi_g=tan^(-1)[(1-e^2)tanphi]. (1) The series expansion is phi_g=phi-e_2sin(2phi)+1/2e_2^2sin(4phi)+1/3e_2^3sin(6phi)+..., (2) where ...

A perspective collineation in which the center and axis are not incident. The term was first used by Poncelet (Cremona 1960, p. ix).

The continued fraction ((x+1)^n-(x-1)^n)/((x+1)^n+(x-1)^n)=n/(x+)(n^2-1)/(3x+)(n^2-2^2)/(5x+...).

Closed forms are known for the sums of reciprocals of even-indexed Fibonacci numbers P_F^((e)) = sum_(n=1)^(infty)1/(F_(2n)) (1) = ...

A method of numerically integrating ordinary differential equations by using a trial step at the midpoint of an interval to cancel out lower-order error terms. The ...

A fiber bundle (also called simply a bundle) with fiber F is a map f:E->B where E is called the total space of the fiber bundle and B the base space of the fiber bundle. The ...

The involute of an ellipse specified parametrically by x = acost (1) y = bsint (2) is given by the parametric equations x_i = ...

The parallel curves for (outward) offset k of an ellipse with semi-axis lengths a and b are given by x_p = (a+(bk)/(sqrt(a^2sin^2t+b^2cos^2t)))cost (1) y_p = ...

The involute of a parabola x = at^2 (1) y = at (2) is given by x_i = -(atsinh^(-1)(2t))/(2sqrt(4t^2+1)) (3) y_i = a(1/2t-(sinh^(-1)(2t))/(4sqrt(4t^2+1))). (4) Defining ...
