Loess local regression is a nonparametric technique for describing bivariate relationships where the functional form is not known in advance.

A coefficient of the Maclaurin series of 1/(ln(1+x))=1/x+1/2-1/(12)x+1/(24)x^2-(19)/(720)x^3+3/(160)x^4+... (OEIS A002206 and A002207), the multiplicative inverse of the ...

A function whose value decreases to zero more slowly than any nonzero polynomial is said to be a logarithmically decreasing function. The prototypical example is the function ...

One million (10^6) bytes. Unfortunately, the term is sometimes also used to mean 2^(20)=1024^2=1048576 bytes. Furthermore, a third meaning of the term refers to 1024000 bytes ...

A very large number defined in terms of circle notation by Steinhaus (1983) as .

If a_1, a_2, a_3, ... is an artistic sequence, then 1/a_1, 1/a_2, 1/a_3, ... is a melodic sequence. The recurrence relation obeyed by melodic series is ...

The minimal residue of a (mod m) is the value b or b-m, whichever is smaller in absolute value, where a=b (mod m). If m=2b (so that b=|b-m|), then the minimal residue is ...

The approximating polynomial which has the smallest maximum deviation from the true function. It is closely approximated by the Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind.

The statistical index P_M=(sump_nq_a)/(sump_0q_a), where p_n is the price per unit in period n and q_n is the quantity produced in period n.

A polynomial in more than one variable, e.g., .
