The fractal illustrated above.

Consider a function f(x) in one dimension. If f(x) has a relative extremum at x_0, then either f^'(x_0)=0 or f is not differentiable at x_0. Either the first or second ...

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 ...

Generally, a face is a component polygon, polyhedron, or polytope. A two-dimensional face thus has vertices and edges, and can be used to make cells. More formally, a face is ...

A line segment connecting nonadjacent polyhedron vertices sharing a common face in a parallelepiped or other similar solid.

An (n-1)-dimensional face of an n-dimensional polytope. A procedure for generating facets is known as faceting.

Using a set of corners of a solid that lie in a plane to form the polygon vertices of a new polygon is called faceting. Such polygons may outline new faces that join to ...

Factor analysis allows the determination of common axes influencing sets of independent measured sets. It is "the granddaddy of multivariate techniques (Gould 1996, pp. ...

The primes with Legendre symbol (n/p)=1 (less than N=pi(d) for trial divisor d) which need be considered when using the quadratic sieve factorization method.

The knots that make up a knot sum of a composite knot are known as factor knots (Adams 1994, p. 8).
