Two quantities are said to be different (or "unequal") if they are not equal. The term "different" also has a technical usage related to modules. Let a module M in an ...

The word differential has several related meaning in mathematics. In the most common context, it means "related to derivatives." So, for example, the portion of calculus ...

Differential calculus is that portion of "the" calculus dealing with derivatives. Among his many other talents, Major General Stanley in Gilbert and Sullivan's operetta the ...

A differential ideal I on a manifold M is an ideal in the exterior algebra of differential k-forms on M which is also closed under the exterior derivative d. That is, for any ...

The motivating force of topology, consisting of the study of smooth (differentiable) manifolds. Differential topology deals with nonmetrical notions of manifolds, while ...

The computation of a derivative.

Given a real number x, find the powers of a base b that will shift the digits of x a number of places n to the left. This is equivalent to solving b^x=b^nx (1) or x=n+log_bx. ...

Let s_b(n) be the sum of the base-b digits of n, and epsilon(n)=(-1)^(s_2(n)) the Thue-Morse sequence, then product_(n=0)^infty((2n+1)/(2n+2))^(epsilon(n))=1/2sqrt(2).

An integer used to generate a digitaddition. A number can have more than one generator. If a number has no generator, it is called a self number.

The digon is the degenerate polygon (corresponding to a line segment) with Schläfli symbol {2}.
