A ruled surface M is said to be a binormal developable of a curve y if M can be parameterized by x(u,v)=y(u)+vB^^(u), where B is the binormal vector.

If two complementary Plücker characteristics are equal, then each characteristic is equal to its complement except in four cases where the sum of order and class is 9.

A biquadratic number is a fourth power, n^4. The first few biquadratic numbers are 1, 16, 81, 256, 625, ... (OEIS A000583). The minimum number of biquadratic numbers needed ...

The smallest unit of binary information, equal to a single 0 or 1. Two bits are called a crumb, four bits are called a nibble, and eight bits are called 1 byte.

Involving two variables, as opposed to many (multivariate), or one (univariate).

A bivariate polynomial is a polynomial in two variables. Bivariate polynomials have the form f(x,y)=sum_(i,j)a_(i,j)x^iy^j. A homogeneous bivariate polynomial, also called a ...

A bivector, also called a 2-vector, is an antisymmetric tensor of second rank (a.k.a. 2-form). For a bivector X^->, X^->=X_(ab)omega^a ^ omega^b, where ^ is the wedge product ...
