If any set of points is displaced by X^idx_i where all distance relationships are unchanged (i.e., there is an isometry), then the vector field is called a Killing vector. ...

Generalizing from a straight line (i.e., first degree polynomial) to a kth degree polynomial y=a_0+a_1x+...+a_kx^k, (1) the residual is given by ...

The (associated) Legendre function of the first kind P_n^m(z) is the solution to the Legendre differential equation which is regular at the origin. For m,n integers and z ...

The continuous distribution with parameters m and b>0 having probability and distribution functions P(x) = (e^(-(x-m)/b))/(b[1+e^(-(x-m)/b)]^2) (1) D(x) = 1/(1+e^(-(x-m)/b)) ...

The Maltese cross curve is the cubic algebraic curve with Cartesian equation xy(x^2-y^2)=x^2+y^2 (1) and polar equation r=2/(sqrt(sin(4theta))) (2) (Cundy and Rollett 1989, ...

A predictor-corrector method for solution of ordinary differential equations. The third-order equations for predictor and corrector are y_(n+1) = ...

The modified Lommel functions of the first and second kind give the solution to the Lommel differential equation with a minus sign in front of the linear term, i.e., ...

A modular inverse of an integer b (modulo m) is the integer b^(-1) such that bb^(-1)=1 (mod m). A modular inverse can be computed in the Wolfram Language using PowerMod[b, ...

The Morgan-Voyce polynomials are polynomials related to the Brahmagupta and Fibonacci polynomials. They are defined by the recurrence relations b_n(x) = ...

The equation of incompressible fluid flow, (partialu)/(partialt)+u·del u=-(del P)/rho+nudel ^2u, where nu is the kinematic viscosity, u is the velocity of the fluid parcel, P ...
