An azimuthal projection which is neither equal-area nor conformal. Let phi_1 and lambda_0 be the latitude and longitude of the center of the projection, then the ...

A subset X subset Y is said to be bicollared in Y if there exists an embedding b:X×[-1,1]->Y such that b(x,0)=x when x in X. The map b or its image is then said to be the ...

A pair of positive integers (a_1,a_2) such that the equations a_1+a_2x=sigma(a_1)=sigma(a_2)(x+1) (1) have a positive integer solution x, where sigma(n) is the divisor ...

An extension of the secant method of root finding to higher dimensions.

The series producing Brun's constant converges even if there are an infinite number of twin primes, first proved by Brun (1919).

The relationship Sq^i(x cup y)=Sigma_(j+k=i)Sq^j(x) cup Sq^k(y) encountered in the definition of the steenrod algebra.

The parametric equations for a catenary are x = t (1) y = acosh(t/a), (2) giving the evolute as x = t-a/2sinh((2t)/a) (3) y = 2acosh(t/(2a)). (4) For t>0, the evolute has arc ...

The parametric equations for a catenary are x = t (1) y = cosht, (2) giving the involute as x_i = t-tanht (3) y_i = secht. (4) The involute is therefore half of a tractrix.

Any row r and column s of a determinant being selected, if the element common to them be multiplied by its cofactor in the determinant, and every product of another element ...

A surface with tetrahedral symmetry which looks like an inflatable chair from the 1970s. It is given by the implicit equation The surface illustrated above has k=5, a=0.95, ...
