A distribution of error such that the error remaining is always given approximately by the last term dropped.

The bias of an estimator theta^~ is defined as B(theta^~)=<theta^~>-theta. (1) It is therefore true that theta^~-theta = (theta^~-<theta^~>)+(<theta^~>-theta) (2) = ...

A special case of the Artin L-function for the polynomial x^2+1. It is given by L(s)=product_(p odd prime)1/(1-chi^-(p)p^(-s)), (1) where chi^-(p) = {1 for p=1 (mod 4); -1 ...

The excentral-hexyl ellipse is the ellipse passing through vertices of the excentral and hexyl triangles (P. Moses, pers. comm., Jan. 29, 2005). It has center at the ...

A function whose value decreases more quickly than any polynomial is said to be an exponentially decreasing function. The prototypical example is the function e^(-x), plotted ...

A function whose value increases more quickly than any polynomial is said to be an exponentially increasing function. The prototypical example is the function e^x, plotted ...

Given two circles, draw the tangents from the center of each circle to the sides of the other. Then the line segments AB and CD are of equal length. The theorem can be proved ...

A number of the form 2^n-1 obtained by setting x=1 in a Fermat-Lucas polynomial, more commonly known as a Mersenne number.

The ring of fractions of an integral domain. The field of fractions of the ring of integers Z is the rational field Q, and the field of fractions of the polynomial ring ...

Let M^n be an n-manifold and let F={F_alpha} denote a partition of M into disjoint pathwise-connected subsets. Then if F is a foliation of M, each F_alpha is called a leaf ...
