A relation on a totally ordered set.

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 ...

The space E of a fiber bundle given by the map f:E->B, where B is the base space of the fiber bundle.

A totally disconnected space is a space in which all subsets with more than one element are disconnected. In particular, if it has more than one element, it is a disconnected ...

A sequence of moves (i.e., a path) on a chessboard by a chess piece in which each square of a chessboard is visited exactly once.

A trace form on an arbitrary algebra A is a symmetric bilinear form (x,y) such that (xy,z)=(x,yz) for all x,y,z in A (Schafer 1996, p. 24).

The evolute of the tractrix given by parametric equations x = t-tanht (1) y = secht (2) is the catenary x_e = t (3) y_e = cosht. (4)

The radial curve of the tractrix x = a(t-tanht) (1) y = asecht (2) with radiant point (x_0,y_0) is the kappa curve x_r = x_0+atanht (3) y_r = y_0+asinhttanht. (4)

The tractrix spiral is a spiral with parametric equations x(t) = acostcos(t-tant) (1) y(t) = acostsin(t-tant) (2) for t in [0,pi/2). It is also known as the polar tractrix or ...

An extension field of a field F that is not algebraic over F, i.e., an extension field that has at least one element that is transcendental over F. For example, the field of ...
