The collection of twistors in Minkowski space that forms a four-dimensional complex vector space.

An error in a statistical test which occurs when a false hypothesis is accepted (a false positive in terms of the null hypothesis).

f(x)=1-2x^2 for x in [-1,1]. Fixed points occur at x=-1, 1/2, and order 2 fixed points at x=(1+/-sqrt(5))/4. The natural invariant of the map is rho(y)=1/(pisqrt(1-y^2)).

Let graph G have p points v_i and graph H have p points u_i, where p>=3. Then if for each i, the subgraphs G_i=G-v_i and H_i=H-u_i are isomorphic, then the graphs G and H are ...

The function defined by U(p)=(p#)^(p#), where p is a prime number and p# is a primorial. The values for p=2, 3, ..., are 4, 46656, ...

The ultraradical symbol is a notation thet can be used to express solutions not obtainable by finite root extraction. The solution to the irreducible quintic equation x^5+x=a ...

An umbilic point, also called simply an umbilic, is a point on a surface at which the curvature is the same in any direction.

The algebra structure of linear functionals on polynomials of a single variable (Roman 1984, pp. 2-3).

An operator T which maps some basic polynomial sequence p_n(x) into another basic polynomial sequence q_n(x).
