Let (x_0x_1x_2...) be a sequence over a finite alphabet A (all the entries are elements of A). Define the block growth function B(n) of a sequence to be the number of ...

The angles mpi/n (with m,n integers) for which the trigonometric functions may be expressed in terms of finite root extraction of real numbers are limited to values of m ...

The constant e is base of the natural logarithm. e is sometimes known as Napier's constant, although its symbol (e) honors Euler. e is the unique number with the property ...

A short mnemonic for remembering the first seven decimal digits of pi is "How I wish I could calculate pi" (C. Heckman, pers. comm., Feb. 3, 2005). Eight digits are given by ...

For a right triangle with legs a and b and hypotenuse c, a^2+b^2=c^2. (1) Many different proofs exist for this most fundamental of all geometric theorems. The theorem can ...

For homogeneous polynomials P and Q of degree n, [P,Q]=sum_(i_1,...,i_n>=0)(i_1!...i_n!)(a_(i,...,i_n)b_(i_1,...,i_n)).

A relation R on a set S is irreflexive provided that no element is related to itself; in other words, xRx for no x in S.

The words random and stochastic are synonymous.

A proposition which is consistent with known data, but has neither been verified nor shown to be false. It is synonymous with hypothesis.

Every graph with n vertices and maximum vertex degree Delta(G)<=k is (k+1)-colorable with all color classes of size |_n/(k+1)_| or [n/(k+1)], where |_x_| is the floor ...
