If f is continuous on a closed interval [a,b], then there is at least one number x^* in [a,b] such that int_a^bf(x)dx=f(x^*)(b-a). The average value of the function (f^_) on ...

An "area" which can be defined for every set--even those without a true geometric area--which is rigid and finitely additive.

For homogeneous polynomials P and Q of degree n, [P,Q]=sum_(i_1,...,i_n>=0)(i_1!...i_n!)(a_(i,...,i_n)b_(i_1,...,i_n)).

Let phi(t)=sum_(n=0)^(infty)A_nt^n be any function for which the integral I(x)=int_0^inftye^(-tx)t^pphi(t)dt converges. Then the expansion where Gamma(z) is the gamma ...

A Z-action or N-action. A cascade and a single map X->X are essentially the same, but the term "cascade" is preferred by many Russian authors.

A necessary and sufficient condition for a sequence S_i to converge. The Cauchy criterion is satisfied when, for all epsilon>0, there is a fixed number N such that ...

The geometric mean is smaller than the arithmetic mean, (product_(i=1)^Nn_i)^(1/N)<=(sum_(i=1)^(N)n_i)/N, with equality in the cases (1) N=1 or (2) n_i=n_j for all i,j.

C=tauT+kappaB, where tau is the torsion, kappa is the curvature, T is the tangent vector, and B is the binormal vector.

Cis(x) is another name for the complex exponential, Cis(x)=e^(ix)=cosx+isinx. (1) It has derivative d/(dz)Cis(z)=ie^(iz) (2) and indefinite integral intCis(z)dz=-ie^(iz). (3)

The logarithm of the reciprocal of a number, equal to the negative of the logarithm of the number itself, cologx=log(1/x)=-logx.
