A roll of 4 on a pair of six-sided dice in the game of craps (Gardner 1978, p. 256). The probability of rolling "a little Joe" is 1/12, or 8.333...%. A roll of "4 the hard ...

The sequence whose definition is: "t is the first, fourth, eleventh, ... letter of this sentence." The first few values are 1, 4, 11, 16, 24, 29, 33, 35, 39, ... (OEIS ...

The involute of the epicycloid x = (a+b)cost-bcos[((a+b)/b)t] (1) y = (a+b)sint-bsin[((a+b)/b)t] (2) is another epicycloid given by x = (a+2b)/a{(a+b)cost+bcos[((a+b)/b)t]} ...

Consider decomposition the factorial n! into multiplicative factors p_k^(b_k) arranged in nondecreasing order. For example, 4! = 3·2^3 (1) = 2·3·4 (2) = 2·2·2·3 (3) and 5! = ...

An unordered factorization is a factorization of a number into a product of factors where order is ignored. The following table lists the unordered factorizations of the ...

The Ulam sequence {a_i}=(u,v) is defined by a_1=u, a_2=v, with the general term a_n for n>2 given by the least integer expressible uniquely as the sum of two distinct earlier ...

The Lambert cylindrical equal-area projection is a cylindrical equal-area projection with standard parallel phi_s=0 degrees.

The abundance of a number n, sometimes also called the abundancy (a term which in this work, is reserved for a different but related quantity), is the quantity ...

The sequence defined by G(0)=0 and G(n)=n-G(G(n-1)). (1) The first few terms for n=1, 2, ... are 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6, 7, 8, 8, 9, 9, ... (OEIS A005206). This can be ...

The pair of sequences defined by F(0)=1, M(0)=0, and F(n) = n-M(F(n-1)) (1) M(n) = n-F(M(n-1)). (2) The first few terms of the "male" sequence M(n) for n=0, 1, ... are 0, 0, ...
