The Lucas numbers are the sequence of integers {L_n}_(n=1)^infty defined by the linear recurrence equation L_n=L_(n-1)+L_(n-2) (1) with L_1=1 and L_2=3. The nth Lucas number ...

The power tower of order k is defined as a^^k=a^(a^(·^(·^(·^a))))_()_(k), (1) where ^ is Knuth up-arrow notation (Knuth 1976), which in turn is defined by ...

The angles mpi/n (with m,n integers) for which the trigonometric functions may be expressed in terms of finite root extraction of real numbers are limited to values of m ...

The angular acceleration alpha is defined as the time derivative of the angular velocity omega, alpha=(domega)/(dt)=(d^2theta)/(dt^2)z^^=(a)/r.

The angular distance traveled around a circle is the number of radians the path subtends, theta=l/(2pir)2pi=l/r.

The angular velocity omega is the time derivative of the angular distance theta with direction z^^ perpendicular to the plane of angular motion, omega=(dtheta)/(dt)z^^=(v)/r.

When the Gaussian curvature K is everywhere negative, a surface is called anticlastic and is saddle-shaped. A surface on which K is everywhere positive is called synclastic. ...

Two curves which, at any point, have a common principal normal vector are called Bertrand curves. The product of the torsions of Bertrand curves is a constant.

A biflecnode, also called a biflecnodal point, is a point at which a curve crosses itself and is at the same time an inflection point. Biflecnodes are possible for curves of ...

The comass of a differential p-form phi is the largest value of phi on a p vector of p-volume one, sup_(v in ^ ^pTM,|v|=1)|phi(v)|.
