Partial differential equation boundary conditions which, for an elliptic partial differential equation in a region Omega, specify that the sum of alphau and the normal ...

Rodrigues' rotation formula gives an efficient method for computing the rotation matrix R in SO(3) corresponding to a rotation by an angle theta about a fixed axis specified ...

The Rogers mod 14 identities are a set of three Rogers-Ramanujan-like identities given by A(q) = sum_(n=0)^(infty)(q^(n^2))/((q;q)_n(q;q^2)_n) (1) = ...

Let f be differentiable on the open interval (a,b) and continuous on the closed interval [a,b]. Then if f(a)=f(b), then there is at least one point c in (a,b) where f^'(c)=0. ...

Sprague (1963) considered the problem of "rolling" five cubes, each which an upright letter "A" on its top, on a chessboard. Here "rolling" means the cubes are moved from ...

A generalization of the binomial coefficient whose notation was suggested by Knuth, |_n; k]=(|_n]!)/(|_k]!|_n-k]!), (1) where |_n] is a Roman factorial. The above expression ...

A powerful numerical integration technique which uses k refinements of the extended trapezoidal rule to remove error terms less than order O(N^(-2k)). The routine advocated ...

For a set of n numbers or values of a discrete distribution x_i, ..., x_n, the root-mean-square (abbreviated "RMS" and sometimes called the quadratic mean), is the square ...

The root separation (or zero separation) of a polynomial P(x) with roots r_1, r_2, ... is defined by Delta(P)=min_(i!=j)|r_i-r_j|. There are lower bounds on how close two ...

Let E be a Euclidean space, (beta,alpha) be the dot product, and denote the reflection in the hyperplane P_alpha={beta in E|(beta,alpha)=0} by ...
