The Goffinet dragon is the fractal obtained by plotting all points spanned by powers of the complex number p=0.65-0.3i (Trott 2004, p. 9).

The mathematical golden rule states that, for any fraction, both numerator and denominator may be multiplied by the same number without changing the fraction's value.

The greatest dividing exponent gde(n,b) of a base b with respect to a number n is the largest integer value of k such that b^k|n, where b^k<=n. It is implemented as the ...

The set of sums sum_(x)a_xx ranging over a multiplicative group and a_i are elements of a field with all but a finite number of a_i=0. Group rings are graded algebras.

The largest unit fraction, 1/2. 1/2 is a rational number with terminating decimal expansion 0.5.

How many times can a shape be completely surrounded by copies of itself without being able to tile the entire plane, i.e., what is the maximum (finite) Heesch number?

The Higman-Sims graph is the unique strongly regular graph on 100 nodes (Higman and Sims 1968, Brouwer 1983, Brouwer and Haemers 1993). It was also constructed independently ...

The Gelfond-Schneider constant is sometimes known as the Hilbert number. Flannery and Flannery (2000, p. 35) define a Hilbert number as a positive integer of the form n=4k+1 ...

A curve created by starting with a circle, dividing it into six arcs, and flipping three alternating arcs. The process is then repeated an infinite number of times.

A group having an infinite number of elements. Some infinite groups, such as the integers or rationals, are not continuous groups.
