The evolute of the nephroid given by x = 1/2[3cost-cos(3t)] (1) y = 1/2[3sint-sin(3t)] (2) is given by x = cos^3t (3) y = 1/4[3sint+sin(3t)], (4) which is another nephroid.

The maximal number of regions into which n lines divide a plane are N(n)=1/2(n^2+n+2) which, for n=1, 2, ... gives 2, 4, 7, 11, 16, 22, ... (OEIS A000124), the same maximal ...

The derivative identity d/(dx)[f(x)g(x)] = lim_(h->0)(f(x+h)g(x+h)-f(x)g(x))/h (1) = (2) = lim_(h->0)[f(x+h)(g(x+h)-g(x))/h+g(x)(f(x+h)-f(x))/h] (3) = f(x)g^'(x)+g(x)f^'(x), ...

A proposition is a mathematical statement such as "3 is greater than 4," "an infinite set exists," or "7 is prime." An axiom is a proposition that is assumed to be true. With ...

The reciprocal differences are closely related to the divided difference. The first few are explicitly given by rho(x_0,x_1)=(x_0-x_1)/(f_0-f_1) (1) ...

The sum of the aliquot divisors of n, given by s(n)=sigma(n)-n, where sigma(n) is the divisor function. The first few values are 0, 1, 1, 3, 1, 6, 1, 7, 4, 8, 1, 16, ... ...

A semiring is a set together with two binary operators S(+,*) satisfying the following conditions: 1. Additive associativity: For all a,b,c in S, (a+b)+c=a+(b+c), 2. Additive ...

An (n,k)-talisman hexagon is an arrangement of nested hexagons containing the integers 1, 2, ..., H_n=3n(n-1)+1, where H_n is the nth hex number, such that the difference ...

A number of attractive 8-compounds of the regular tetrahedron can be constructed. The compounds illustrated above will be implemented in a future version of the Wolfram ...
