The winding number W(theta) of a map f(theta) with initial value theta is defined by W(theta)=lim_(n->infty)(f^n(theta)-theta)/n, which represents the average increase in the ...

A mensuration formula is simply a formula for computing the length-related properties of an object (such as area, circumradius, etc., of a polygon) based on other known ...

The metabidiminished icosahedron is a convex equilateral solid that is Johnson solid J_(62). The unit metabidiminished icosahedron has volume V=1/6(5+2sqrt(5)) (1) and Dehn ...

The metabidiminished rhombicosidodecahedron is a convex equilateral solid that is Johnson solid J_(81). The unit metabidiminished rhombicosidodecahedron has volume ...

The approximating polynomial which has the smallest maximum deviation from the true function. It is closely approximated by the Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind.

A nonuniform rational B-spline curve defined by C(t)=(sum_(i=0)^(n)N_(i,p)(t)w_iP_i)/(sum_(i=0)^(n)N_(i,p)(t)w_i), where p is the order, N_(i,p) are the B-spline basis ...

A nonuniform rational B-spline surface of degree (p,q) is defined by ...

The "natural exponential function" is the name sometimes given in elementary contexts to the function f(x)=e^x, where e =2.718... is the base of the natural logarithm. While ...

Betting odds are written in the form r:s ("r to s") and correspond to the probability of winning P=s/(r+s). Therefore, given a probability P, the odds of winning are ...

The pentagonal gyrocupolarotunda is a convex equilateral solid that is Johnson solid J_(33). The unit pentagonal gyrocupolarotunda has volume V=5/(12)(11+5sqrt(5)) (1) and ...
