Trisection is the division of a quantity, figure, etc. into three equal parts, i.e., k-multisection with k=3.

A quantity which does not exhibit estimator bias. An estimator theta^^ is an unbiased estimator of theta if <theta^^>=theta.

A function of one or more variables whose range is three-dimensional (or, in general, n-dimensional), as compared to a scalar function, whose range is one-dimensional. Vector ...

The W-transform of a function f(x) is defined by the integral where Gamma[(beta_m)+s, 1-(alpha_n)-s; (alpha_p^(n+1))+s, 1-(beta_q^(m+1))-s] =Gamma[beta_1+s, ..., beta_m+s, ...

A sequence of real numbers {x_n} is equidistributed on an interval [a,b] if the probability of finding x_n in any subinterval is proportional to the subinterval length. The ...

Anomalous cancellation is a "canceling" of digits of a and b in the numerator and denominator of a fraction a/b which results in a fraction equal to the original. Note that ...

The coordinates representing any point of an n-dimensional affine space A by an n-tuple of real numbers, thus establishing a one-to-one correspondence between A and R^n. If V ...

In continuum theory, a dendrite is a locally connected continuum that contains no simple closed curve. A semicircle is therefore a dendrite, while a triangle is not. The term ...

A square matrix A is called diagonally dominant if |A_(ii)|>=sum_(j!=i)|A_(ij)| for all i. A is called strictly diagonally dominant if |A_(ii)|>sum_(j!=i)|A_(ij)| for all i. ...

An illusion studied by the psychologist Walter Ehrenstein in which the sides of a square placed inside a pattern of concentric circles take an apparent curved shape. The name ...
