A permutation of n distinct, ordered items in which none of the items is in its original ordered position is known as a derangement. If some, but not necessarily all, of the ...

The eighth proposition in the third book of the Elements is one of Euclid's most complex propositions. It shows that a segment through an outside point D and a circle is ...

The pentagonal prism is a prism having two pentagonal bases and five rectangular sides. It is a heptahedron. The regular right pentagonal prism is uniform polyhedron U_(76). ...

The pentakis dodecahedron is the 60-faced dual polyhedron of the truncated icosahedron A_(11) (Holden 1971, p. 55). It is Wenninger dual W_9. It can be constructed by ...

The pentatope graph is the skeleton of the pentatope, namely the complete graph K_5. It is sometimes also known as the Kuratowski graph (Nikolić et al. 2000, p. 281). Since ...

A square which can be dissected into a number of smaller squares with no two equal is called a perfect square dissection (or a squared square). Square dissections in which ...

The index of a permutation p is defined as the sum of all subscripts j such that p_j>p_(j+1), for 1<=j<=n. MacMahon (1960) proved that the number of permutations of size n ...

Given two intersecting lines OA and OB forming an angle with vertex at O and a point X inside the angle ∠AOB, the Philo line (or Philon line) is the shortest line segment AB ...

A pivotal isocubic is an isocubic on the lines connecting pairs of isoconjugates that pass through a fixed point P (the pivot point). Pivotal isocubics intersect the ...

Bubbles can meet only at angles of 120 degrees (for three bubbles) and cos^(-1)(-1/3) approx 109 degrees28^'16^('') (for four bubbles), where cos^(-1)(-1/3) is the ...
