A sequence is said to be convergent if it approaches some limit (D'Angelo and West 2000, p. 259). Formally, a sequence S_n converges to the limit S lim_(n->infty)S_n=S if, ...

Geometric objects lying in a common plane are said to be coplanar. Three noncollinear points determine a plane and so are trivially coplanar. Four points are coplanar iff the ...

Consider the distribution of distances l between a point picked at random in the interior of a unit cube and on a face of the cube. The probability function, illustrated ...

Given four points chosen at random inside a unit cube, the average volume of the tetrahedron determined by these points is given by ...

The mean triangle area of a triangle picked at random inside a unit cube is A^_=0.15107+/-0.00003, with variance var(A)=0.008426+/-0.000004. The distribution of areas, ...

Taking the ratio x/y of two numbers x and y, also written x÷y. Here, x is called the dividend, y is called the divisor, and x/y is called a quotient. The symbol "/" is called ...

An edge cover is a subset of edges defined similarly to the vertex cover (Skiena 1990, p. 219), namely a collection of graph edges such that the union of edge endpoints ...

The functions E_1(x) = (x^2e^x)/((e^x-1)^2) (1) E_2(x) = x/(e^x-1) (2) E_3(x) = ln(1-e^(-x)) (3) E_4(x) = x/(e^x-1)-ln(1-e^(-x)). (4) E_1(x) has an inflection point at (5) ...

The group of an elliptic curve which has been transformed to the form y^2=x^3+ax+b is the set of K-rational points, including the single point at infinity. The group law ...

An elliptic curve is the set of solutions to an equation of the form y^2+a_1xy+a_3y=x^3+a_2x^2+a_4x+a_6. (1) By changing variables, y->2y+a_1x+a_3, assuming the field ...
