A sequence {x_1,x_2,...} is equidistributed iff lim_(N->infty)1/Nsum_(n<N)e^(2piimx_n)=0 for each m=1, 2, .... A consequence of this result is that the sequence {frac(nx)} is ...

Napier's bones, also called Napier's rods, are numbered rods which can be used to perform multiplication of any number by a number 2-9. By placing "bones" corresponding to ...

An Abelian semigroup is a set whose elements are related by a binary operation (such as addition, rotation, etc.) that is closed, associative, and commutative. A mathematical ...

A semigroup S is said to be an inverse semigroup if, for every a in S, there is a unique b (called the inverse of a) such that a=aba and b=bab. This is equivalent to the ...

A term of endearment used by algebraic topologists when talking about their favorite power tools such as Abelian groups, bundles, homology groups, homotopy groups, K-theory, ...

A symbol used to represent the point and space groups (e.g., 2/m3^_). Some symbols have abbreviated form. The equivalence between Hermann-Mauguin symbols (a.k.a. ...

A theorem proved by É. Cartan in 1913 which classifies the irreducible representations of complex semisimple Lie algebras.

In the plane, there are 17 lattice groups, eight of which are pure translation. In R^3, there are 32 point groups and 230 space groups. In R^4, there are 4783 space lattice ...

An algebraic expression in variables {x_1,...,x_n} is an expression constructed with the variables and algebraic numbers using addition, multiplication, and rational powers.

Let A denote an R-algebra, so that A is a vector space over R and A×A->A (1) (x,y)|->x·y. (2) Then A is said to be alternative if, for all x,y in A, (x·y)·y=x·(y·y) (3) ...
