For 0<=x<=pi/2, 2/pix<=sinx<=x.

The throwing and catching of multiple objects such that at least one is always in the air. Some aspects of juggling turn out to be quite mathematical. The best examples are ...

A point of discontinuity, also called a leap.

A bistable eight-sided polyhedron discovered by Wunderlich and Schwabe (1986).

A framework is called "just rigid" if it is rigid, but ceases to be so when any single bar is removed. Lamb (1928, pp. 93-94) proved that a necessary (but not sufficient) ...

The Kampyle of Eudoxus is a curve studied by Eudoxus in relation to the classical problem of cube duplication. It is given by the polar equation r=asec^2theta, (1) and the ...

An optical illusion, illustrated above, in which the eye perceives a white upright equilateral triangle where none is actually drawn.

Applying the Kaprekar routine to 4-digit number reaches 0 for exactly 77 4-digit numbers, while the remainder give 6174 in at most 8 iterations. The value 6174 is sometimes ...

The system of partial differential equations f_x = 2fgc(x-t) (1) g_t = 2fgc(x-t). (2)

Let D be a domain in R^n for n>=3. Then the transformation v(x_1^',...,x_n^')=(a/(r^'))^(n-2)u((a^2x_1^')/(r^('2)),...,(a^2x_n^')/(r^('2))) onto a domain D^', where ...
