Let R be a ring. If phi:R->S is a ring homomorphism, then Ker(phi) is an ideal of R, phi(R) is a subring of S, and R/Ker(phi)=phi(R).

An algebraically soluble equation of odd prime degree which is irreducible in the natural field possesses either 1. Only a single real root, or 2. All real roots.

Given n mutually exclusive events A_1, ..., A_n whose probabilities sum to unity, then P(B)=P(B|A_1)P(A_1)+...+P(B|A_n)P(A_n), where B is an arbitrary event, and P(B|A_i) is ...

A box can be packed with a harmonic brick a×ab×abc iff the box has dimensions ap×abq×abcr for some natural numbers p, q, r (i.e., the box is a multiple of the brick).

If X_i for i=1, ..., m has a multivariate normal distribution with mean vector mu=0 and covariance matrix Sigma, and X denotes the m×p matrix composed of the row vectors X_i, ...

Graph smoothing, also known as smoothing away or smoothing out, is the process of replacing edges e^'=v_iv_j and e^('')=v_jv_k incident at a vertex v_j of vertex degree 2 by ...

The word weight has many uses in mathematics. It can refer to a function w(x) (also called a weighting function or weighting function) used to normalize orthogonal functions. ...

Let g(x)=(1-x^2)(1-k^2x^2). Then int_0^a(dx)/(sqrt(g(x)))+int_0^b(dx)/(sqrt(g(x)))=int_0^c(dx)/(sqrt(g(x))), where c=(bsqrt(g(a))+asqrt(g(b)))/(sqrt(1-k^2a^2b^2)).

Let A, B, and C be three circles in the plane, and let X be any circle touching B and C. Then build up a chain of circles such that Y:CAX, Z:ABY, X^':BCZ, Y^':CAX^', ...

If a polynomial P(x) is divided by (x-r), then the remainder is a constant given by P(r).
