A two-sided (doubly infinite) Laplace transform, L_t[f(t)](s)=int_(-infty)^inftyf(t)e^(-st)dt. While some authors use this as the primary definition of "the" Laplace ...

A function of two variables is bilinear if it is linear with respect to each of its variables. The simplest example is f(x,y)=xy.

Johnson solid J_(91).

A line segment joining the midpoints of opposite sides of a quadrilateral or tetrahedron. Varignon's theorem states that the bimedians of a quadrilateral bisect each other ...

Possessing two modes. The term bimodal distribution, which refers to a distribution having two local maxima (as opposed to two equal most common values) is a slight ...

The determinant of a binary quadratic form Au^2+2Buv+Cv^2 is defined as D=AC-B^2. It is equal to 1/4 of the corresponding binary quadratic form discriminant. Unfortunately, ...

The discriminant of a binary quadratic form au^2+buv+cv^2 is defined by d=4ac-b^2. It is equal to four times the corresponding binary quadratic form determinant. ...

If M^3 is a closed oriented connected 3-manifold such that every simple closed curve in M lies interior to a ball in M, then M is homeomorphic with the hypersphere, S^3.

A polynomial with 2 terms.

The ordinary differential equation (y^')^m=f(x,y) (Hille 1969, p. 675; Zwillinger 1997, p. 120).
