The problem of finding the curve down which a bead placed anywhere will fall to the bottom in the same amount of time. The solution is a cycloid, a fact first discovered and ...

From the feet H_A, H_B, and H_C of each altitude of a triangle DeltaABC, draw lines (H_AP_A,H_AQ_A), (H_BP_B,H_BQ_B), (H_CP_C,H_CQ_C) perpendicular to the adjacent sides, as ...

The total number of contravariant and covariant indices of a tensor. The rank R of a tensor is independent of the number of dimensions N of the underlying space. An intuitive ...

A number of attractive tetrahedron 5-compounds can be constructed. The first (left figures) is one of the icosahedron stellations in which the 5×4 vertices of the tetrahedra ...

Let DeltaABC be a triangle and D a point on the side BC. Let I be the incenter, P the center of the circle tangent to the circumcircle and segments AD and BD, Q the center of ...

The phrase Tomita-Takesaki theory refers to a specific collection of results proven within the field of functional analysis regarding the theory of modular Hilbert algebras ...

The tractrix arises in the following problem posed to Leibniz: What is the path of an object starting off with a vertical offset when it is dragged along by a string of ...

The best known packings of equilateral triangles into an equilateral triangle are illustrated above for the first few cases (Friedman). The best known packings of equilateral ...

There are two types of squares inscribing reference triangle DeltaABC in the sense that all vertices lie on the sidelines of ABC. The first type has two adjacent vertices of ...

The 14-faced Archimedean solid with faces 8{3}+6{8}. It is also the uniform polyhedron with Maeder index 9 (Maeder 1997), Wenninger index 8 (Wenninger 1989), Coxeter index 21 ...
