A quantity displayed above the normal line of text (and generally in a smaller point size), as the "i" in x^i, is called a superscript. Superscripts are commonly used to ...

A set containing all elements of a smaller set. If B is a subset of A, then A is a superset of B, written A superset= B. If A is a proper superset of B, this is written A ...

Let M be an oriented regular surface in R^3 with normal N. Then the support function of M is the function h:M->R defined by h(p)=p·N(p).

Any linear combination of real spherical harmonics A_lP_l(costheta)+sum_(m=1)^l[A_l^mcos(mphi)+B_l^msin(mphi)]P_l^m(costheta) for l fixed whose sum is not premultiplied by a ...

A surface in 3-space can be parameterized by two variables (or coordinates) u and v such that x = x(u,v) (1) y = y(u,v) (2) z = z(u,v). (3) If a surface is parameterized as ...

Let f be a function defined on a set A and taking values in a set B. Then f is said to be a surjection (or surjective map) if, for any b in B, there exists an a in A for ...

Surrogate data are artificially generated data which mimic statistical properties of real data. Isospectral surrogates have identical power spectra as real data but with ...

A set in a Polish space is a Borel set iff it is both analytic and coanalytic. For subsets of w, a set is delta_1^1 iff it is "hyperarithmetic."

An ordinary knot in three dimensions suspended in four dimensions to create a knotted 2-sphere. Suspended knots are not smooth at the poles.

The space join of a topological space X and a pair of points S^0, Sigma(X)=X*S^0.
