The conditional probability of an event A assuming that B has occurred, denoted P(A|B), equals P(A|B)=(P(A intersection B))/(P(B)), (1) which can be proven directly using a ...

A set X is called a "cone" with vertex at the origin if for any x in X and any scalar a>=0, ax in X.

Confocal conics are conic sections sharing a common focus. Any two confocal central conics are orthogonal (Ogilvy 1990, p. 77).

Confocal parabolas are parabolas sharing a common focus.

A topological structure which interpolates between contact structures and codimension-one foliations.

The five of Hilbert's axioms which concern geometric equivalence.

An equation of the form f(x)=b (mod m), (1) where the values of 0<=x<m for which the equation holds are sought. Such an equation may have none, one, or many solutions. There ...

A transformation of the form g=D^(T)etaD, where det(D)!=0 and det(D) is the determinant. Isometries are also called congruence transformations.

Two square matrices A and B are called congruent if there exists a nonsingular matrix P such that B=P^(T)AP, where P^(T) is the transpose.

A number h which satisfies the conditions of the congruum problem: x^2+h=a^2 and x^2-h=b^2, where x,h,a,b are integers. The list of congrua is given by 24, 96, 120, 240, 336, ...
