A knot diagram which has alternating under- and overcrossings as the knot projection is traversed. The first knot which does not have an alternating diagram has 8 crossings.

Also known as the Leibniz criterion. An alternating series converges if a_1>=a_2>=... and lim_(k->infty)a_k=0.

An expression is said to be ambiguous (or poorly defined) if its definition does not assign it a unique interpretation or value. An expression which is not ambiguous is said ...

A curve which is invariant under inversion. Examples include the cardioid, cartesian ovals, Cassini ovals, Limaçon, strophoid, and Maclaurin trisectrix.

A definable set, also called a Souslin set.

A statistic defined to improve the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test in the tail of a distribution.

The angle of attack alpha of a surface is measured as the angle between the direction of fluid flow relative to the surface, and the line in the direction of normal fluid ...

Let K_1^n and K_2^n be disjoint bicollared knots in R^(n+1) or S^(n+1) and let U denote the open region between them. Then the closure of U is a closed annulus S^n×[0,1]. ...

The point of concurrence of the four maltitudes of a cyclic quadrilateral. Let M_(AC) and M_(BD) be the midpoints of the diagonals of a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, and let P ...

Every complex matrix A can be broken into a Hermitian part A_H=1/2(A+A^(H)) (i.e., A_H is a Hermitian matrix) and an antihermitian part A_(AH)=1/2(A-A^(H)) (i.e., A_(AH) is ...
