A vector perpendicular to a given vector a is a vector a^_|_ (voiced "a-perp") such that a and a^_|_ form a right angle. In the plane, there are two vectors perpendicular to ...

A skew conic, also known as a gauche conic, space conic, twisted conic, or cubical conic section, is a third-order space curve having up to three points in common with a ...

A one-person game played on a rectangular lattice of lamps which can be turned on and off. A move consists of flipping a "switch" inside one of the squares, thereby toggling ...

Rule 60 is one of the elementary cellular automaton rules introduced by Stephen Wolfram in 1983 (Wolfram 1983, 2002). It specifies the next color in a cell, depending on its ...

The partial differential equation u_t+u_(xxxxx)+30uu_(xxx)+30u_xu_(xx)+180u^2u_x=0.

A differential equation is an equation that involves the derivatives of a function as well as the function itself. If partial derivatives are involved, the equation is called ...

An equation of the form f(x,y,...)=0, where f contains a finite number of independent variables, known functions, and unknown functions which are to be solved for. Many ...

For the hyperbolic partial differential equation u_(xy) = F(x,y,u,p,q) (1) p = u_x (2) q = u_y (3) on a domain Omega, Goursat's problem asks to find a solution u(x,y) of (3) ...

In parabolic cylindrical coordinates, the scale factors are h_u=h_v=sqrt(u^2+v^2), h_z=1 and the separation functions are f_1(u)=f_2(v)=f_3(z)=1, giving Stäckel determinant ...

The partial differential equation (1+u_y^2)u_(xx)-2u_xu_yu_(xy)+(1+u_x^2)u_(yy)=0 (correcting a typo in Zwillinger 1997, p. 134).
