If x is a regular patch on a regular surface in R^3 with normal N^^, then x_(uu) = Gamma_(11)^1x_u+Gamma_(11)^2x_v+eN^^ (1) x_(uv) = Gamma_(12)^1x_u+Gamma_(12)^2x_v+fN^^ (2) ...

The second-order ordinary differential equation y^('')+(y^')/x+(1-(nu^2)/(x^2))y=(x-nu)/(pix^2)sin(pinu) whose solutions are Anger functions.

The three circumcircles through the triangle centroid G of a given triangle DeltaA_1A_2A_3 and the pairs of the vertices of the second Brocard triangle are called the McCay ...

Consider the probability Q_1(n,d) that no two people out of a group of n will have matching birthdays out of d equally possible birthdays. Start with an arbitrary person's ...

There are three types of so-called fundamental forms. The most important are the first and second (since the third can be expressed in terms of these). The fundamental forms ...

If P(x,y) and P(x^',y^') are two points on an ellipse (x^2)/(a^2)+(y^2)/(b^2)=1, (1) with eccentric angles phi and phi^' such that tanphitanphi^'=b/a (2) and A=P(a,0) and ...

Let x:U->R^3 be a regular patch, where U is an open subset of R^2. Then (partiale)/(partialv)-(partialf)/(partialu) = eGamma_(12)^1+f(Gamma_(12)^2-Gamma_(11)^1)-gGamma_(11)^2 ...

The Whittaker functions arise as solutions to the Whittaker differential equation. The linearly independent solutions to this equation are M_(k,m)(z) = ...

Krall and Fink (1949) defined the Bessel polynomials as the function y_n(x) = sum_(k=0)^(n)((n+k)!)/((n-k)!k!)(x/2)^k (1) = sqrt(2/(pix))e^(1/x)K_(-n-1/2)(1/x), (2) where ...

The Christoffel symbols are tensor-like objects derived from a Riemannian metric g. They are used to study the geometry of the metric and appear, for example, in the geodesic ...
