The dimension of an object is a topological measure of the size of its covering properties. Roughly speaking, it is the number of coordinates needed to specify a point on the ...

A discontinuity is point at which a mathematical object is discontinuous. The left figure above illustrates a discontinuity in a one-variable function while the right figure ...

The absolute moment of M_n of a probability function P(x) taken about a point a is defined by M_n=int|x-a|^nP(x)dx.

The strophoid of a circle with pole at the center and fixed point on the circumference is a Freeth's nephroid.

Any linear system of point-groups on a curve with only ordinary singularities may be cut by adjoint curves.

For a parabola oriented vertically and opening upwards, the vertex is the point where the curve reaches a minimum.

A point at which three or more polyhedron edges of a polyhedron meet. The concept can also be generalized to a polytope.

The catacaustic of the quadrifolium with arbitrary radiant point is a complicated function. A few example are illustrated above.
