The set of left cosets of a subgroup H of a topological group G forms a topological space. Its topology is defined by the quotient topology from pi:G->G/H. Namely, the open ...

For R[nu]>-1/2, J_nu(z)=(z/2)^nu2/(sqrt(pi)Gamma(nu+1/2))int_0^(pi/2)cos(zcost)sin^(2nu)tdt, where J_nu(z) is a Bessel function of the first kind, and Gamma(z) is the gamma ...

A closed geometric figure on the surface of a sphere which is formed by the arcs of great circles. The spherical polygon is a generalization of the spherical triangle. If ...

A dipyramid with a square base. The octahedron is a special case of a square dipyramid with equal edge lengths. The volume of a square dipyramid with base edge lengths a and ...

A plane curve given by the parametric equations x = cost (1) y = sintsin^m(1/2t). (2) The plots above show curves for values of m from 0 to 7. The teardrop curve has area ...

An extension field of a field F that is not algebraic over F, i.e., an extension field that has at least one element that is transcendental over F. For example, the field of ...

An arithmetic progression of primes is a set of primes of the form p_1+kd for fixed p_1 and d and consecutive k, i.e., {p_1,p_1+d,p_1+2d,...}. For example, 199, 409, 619, ...

The absolute value of a real number x is denoted |x| and defined as the "unsigned" portion of x, |x| = xsgn(x) (1) = {-x for x<=0; x for x>=0, (2) where sgn(x) is the sign ...

The term analysis is used in two ways in mathematics. It describes both the discipline of which calculus is a part and one form of abstract logic theory. Analysis is the ...

An antimagic square is an n×n array of integers from 1 to n^2 such that each row, column, and main diagonal produces a different sum such that these sums form a sequence of ...
