Also known as the alternating series test. Given a series sum_(n=1)^infty(-1)^(n+1)a_n with a_n>0, if a_n is monotonic decreasing as n->infty and lim_(n->infty)a_n=0, then ...

n sets of s trials each, with the probability of success p constant in each set. var(x/n)=spq+s(s-1)sigma_p^2, where sigma_p^2 is the variance of p_i.

The standard Lorentzian inner product on R^4 is given by -dx_0^2+dx_1^2+dx_2^2+dx_3^2, (1) i.e., for vectors v=(v_0,v_1,v_2,v_3) and w=(w_0,w_1,w_2,w_3), ...

A specific prescription for carrying out a task or solving a problem. Also called an algorithm, method, or technique

The resolution principle, due to Robinson (1965), is a method of theorem proving that proceeds by constructing refutation proofs, i.e., proofs by contradiction. This method ...

The tangent plane to a surface at a point p is the tangent space at p (after translating to the origin). The elements of the tangent space are called tangent vectors, and ...

The relationship x succeeds (or follows) y is written x≻y. The relation x succeeds or is equal to y is written x>=y.

A system of equations is any set of simultaneous equations.

Q is said to be tightly embedded if |Q intersection Q^g| is odd for all g in G-N_G(Q), where N_G(Q) is the normalizer of Q in G.

A function defined for all possible input values.
