The French metro metric is an example for disproving apparently intuitive but false properties of metric spaces. The metric consists of a distance function on the plane such ...

A friend of a number n is another number m such that (m,n) is a friendly pair.

Almost all natural numbers are very, very, very large (Steinbach 1990, p. 111).

If f^'(x) is continuous and the integral converges, int_0^infty(f(ax)-f(bx))/xdx=[f(0)-f(infty)]ln(b/a).

A function between categories which maps objects to objects and morphisms to morphisms. Functors exist in both covariant and contravariant types.

A game which permits a draw ("tie") when played properly by both players. Tic-tac-toe, for example, is a futile game.

Let G be a group and S be a set. Then S is called a left G-set if there exists a map phi:G×S->S such that phi(g_1,phi(g_2,s))=phi(g_1g_2,s) for all s in S and all g_1,g_2 in ...

An algebraic equation is algebraically solvable iff its group is solvable. In order that an irreducible equation of prime degree be solvable by radicals, it is necessary and ...

Let the elements in a payoff matrix be denoted a_(ij), where the is are player A's strategies and the js are player B's strategies. Player A can get at least min_(j<=n)a_(ij) ...

Consider two closed oriented space curves f_1:C_1->R^3 and f_2:C_2->R^3, where C_1 and C_2 are distinct circles, f_1 and f_2 are differentiable C^1 functions, and f_1(C_1) ...
