The ratio X/Y of independent normally distributed variates with zero mean is distributed with a Cauchy distribution. This can be seen as follows. Let X and Y both have mean 0 ...

Overdamped simple harmonic motion is a special case of damped simple harmonic motion x^..+betax^.+omega_0^2x=0, (1) in which beta^2-4omega_0^2>0. (2) Therefore ...

The parabiaugmented hexagonal prism is a convex equilateral solid that is Johnson solid J_(56). The parabiaugmented hexagonal prism has volume V=1/6(2sqrt(2)+9sqrt(3)) (1) ...

An auxiliary latitude also called the reduced latitude and denoted eta or theta. It gives the latitude on a sphere of radius a for which the parallel has the same radius as ...

A skewed distribution which is similar to the binomial distribution when p!=q (Abramowitz and Stegun 1972, p. 930). y=k(t+A)^(A^2-1)e^(-At), (1) for t in [0,infty) where A = ...

The pentagonal gyrobicupola is a convex equilateral solid that is Johnson solid J_(31). The unit pentagonal gyrobicupola has volume V=1/3(5+4sqrt(5)) (1) and Dehn invariant D ...

The pentagonal orthocupolarotunda is a convex equilateral solid that is Johnson solid J_(32). The unit pentagonal orthocupolarotunda has volume V=1/3(5+4sqrt(5)) (1) and Dehn ...

Polynomials P_k(x) which form the Sheffer sequence for g(t) = (2t)/(e^t-1) (1) f(t) = (e^t-1)/(e^t+1) (2) and have generating function ...

For a polynomial P=sum_(k=0)^na_kz^k, (1) several classes of norms are commonly defined. The l_p-norm is defined as ||P||_p=(sum_(k=0)^n|a_k|^p)^(1/p) (2) for p>=1, giving ...

The quintuple product identity, also called the Watson quintuple product identity, states (1) It can also be written (2) or (3) The quintuple product identity can be written ...
