The second-order ordinary differential equation y^('')+f(x)y^'+y=0.

Let a patch be given by the map x:U->R^n, where U is an open subset of R^2, or more generally by x:A->R^n, where A is any subset of R^2. Then x(U) (or more generally, x(A)) ...

A plane figure consisting of four points, each of which is joined to two other points by a line segment (where the line segments may intersect). A quadrangle may therefore be ...

An Auslander algebra which connects the representation theories of the symmetric group of permutations and the general linear group GL(n,C). Schur algebras are ...

The volume of a spherical wedge is V=2/3r^3theta. The surface area of the corresponding spherical lune is S=2r^2theta.

Let M be a regular surface with v_(p),w_(p) points in the tangent space M_(p) of M. Then the third fundamental form is given by III(v_(p),w_(p))=S(v_(p))·S(w_(p)), where S is ...

A three-colorable graph G is a graph with chromatic number chi(G)<=3.

An ordering of permutations in which each two adjacent permutations differ by the transposition of two elements. For the permutations of {1,2,3} there are two listings which ...

An n-dimensional vector, i.e., a vector (x_1, x_2, ..., x_n) with n components. In dimensions n greater than or equal to two, vectors are sometimes considered synonymous with ...

An alternative term for a binomial coefficient, in which (n; k) is read as "n choose k." R. K. Guy suggested this pronunciation around 1950, when the notations ^nC_r and ...
