A Woodall prime is a Woodall number W_n=2^nn-1 that is prime. The first few Woodall primes are 7, 23, 383, 32212254719, 2833419889721787128217599, ... (OEIS A050918), ...

Wynn's epsilon-method is a method for numerical evaluation of sums and products that samples a number of additional terms in the series and then tries to extrapolate them by ...

A generic word for a very large number. The term has no well-defined mathematical meaning. Conway and Guy (1996) define the nth zillion as 10^(3n+3) in the American system ...

In the English language, the probability of encountering the rth most common word is given roughly by P(r)=0.1/r for r up to 1000 or so. The law breaks down for less frequent ...

If 1<=b<a and (a,b)=1 (i.e., a and b are relatively prime), then a^n-b^n has at least one primitive prime factor with the following two possible exceptions: 1. 2^6-1^6. 2. ...

Let a random n×n (0,1)-matrix have entries which are 1 (with probability p) or 0 (with probability q=1-p) and numbers are assigned to the edges of a grid. A b-cluster is an ...

Two distinct theorems are referred to as "the de Bruijn-Erdős theorem." One of them (de Bruijn and Erdős 1951) concerns the chromatic number of infinite graphs; the other (de ...

An e-prime is a prime number appearing in the decimal expansion of e. The first few are 2, 271, 2718281, ...

A number of interesting graphs are associated with the work of van Cleemput and Zamfirescu (2018). Two 13- and 15-node graphs, denoted alpha and beta respectively, were used ...

The parameter r (sometimes also denoted mu) in the logistic equation x_(n+1)=rx_n(1-x_n).
