A one-dimensional line segment where two two-dimensional faces of an n-dimensional polytope meet, also called a side.

An algebra in which the associator (x,x,x)=0. The subalgebra generated by one element is associative.

An irreducible algebraic integer which has the property that, if it divides the product of two algebraic integers, then it divides at least one of the factors. 1 and -1 are ...

When the group order h of a finite group is a prime number, there is only one possible group of group order h. Furthermore, the group is cyclic.

A ring for which the product of any pair of ideals is zero only if one of the two ideals is zero. All simple rings are prime.

In accounting, the principal is the original amount borrowed or lent on which interest is then paid or given. The word "principal" is also used in many areas of mathematics ...

Let D be a subset of the nonnegative integers Z^* with the properties that (1) the integer 0 is in D and (2) any time that the interval [0,n] is contained in D, one can show ...

Let D be a subset of the nonnegative integers Z^* with the properties that (1) the integer 0 is in D and (2) any time that n is in D, one can show that n+1 is also in D. ...

If a line intersects one of two parallel lines, both of which are coplanar with the original line, then it must intersect the other also. This axiom is equivalent to the ...

Any geometric correlation which transforms one range into a projectively related pencil (or vice versa).
