A number puzzle in which a group of arithmetical operations has some or all of its digits replaced by letters or symbols, and where the original digits must be found. In such ...

A number taken to the power 3 is said to be cubed, so x^3 is called "x cubed." This terminology derives from the fact that the volume of a cube of edge length x is given by ...

An equation of the form y=ax^3+bx^2+cx+d where only one root is real.

An equation of the form y=ax^3+bx^2+cx+d, (1) where the three roots are real and distinct, i.e., y = a(x-r_1)(x-r_2)(x-r_3) (2) = ...

The quartic surface resembling a squashed round cushion on a barroom stool and given by the equation z^2x^2-z^4-2zx^2+2z^3+x^2-z^2 -(x^2-z)^2-y^4-2x^2y^2-y^2z^2+2y^2z+y^2=0.

The symbol ∡ABC denotes the directed angle from AB to BC, which is the signed angle through which AB must be rotated about B to coincide with BC. Four points ABCD lie on a ...

A puzzle in which one object is to be converted to another by making a finite number of cuts and reassembling it. The cuts are often, but not always, restricted to straight ...

The double sphere is the degenerate quartic surface (x^2+y^2+z^2-r^2)^2=0 obtained by squaring the left-hand side of the equation of a usual sphere x^2+y^2+z^2-r^2=0.

The Droussent cubic is the triangle cubic with trilinear equation sum_(cyclic)(b^4+c^4-a^4-b^2c^2)aalpha(b^2beta^2-c^2gamma^2)=0. It passes through Kimberling centers X_n for ...

The edge multiplicity of a given end vertex in a multigraph is the number of multiple edges sharing that end vertex. The maximum edge multiplicity in such a graph is known as ...
