The symmetry operation (x,y,z)->(x,y,-z), etc., which is equivalent to 2^_, where the bar denotes an improper rotation.

By way of analogy with the prime counting function pi(x), the notation pi_(a,b)(x) denotes the number of primes of the form ak+b less than or equal to x (Shanks 1993, pp. ...

A function periodic with period 2pi such that p(theta+pi)=-p(theta) for all theta is said to be Möbius periodic.

A moment sequence is a sequence {mu_n}_(n=0)^infty defined for n=0, 1, ... by mu_n=int_0^1t^ndalpha(t), where alpha(t) is a function of bounded variation in the interval ...

alpha^((m))=1/2gamma_1=(mu_3)/(2sigma^3), where gamma_1 is the skewness.

A surface given by the form z=F(x,y).
