Given a set P of primes, a field K is called a class field if it is a maximal normal extension of the rationals which splits all of the primes in P, and if P is the maximal ...

A module having dual properties with respect to a free module, as enumerated below. 1. Every free module is projective; every cofree module is injective. 2. For every module ...

The Davenport constant of a finite Abelian group G is defined to be the length of the longest minimal zero-system of G and is denoted D(G). Symbolically, ...

The first Debye function is defined by D_n^((1))(x) = int_0^x(t^ndt)/(e^t-1) (1) = x^n[1/n-x/(2(n+1))+sum_(k=1)^(infty)(B_(2k)x^(2k))/((2k+n)(2k!))], (2) for |x|<2pi, n>=1, ...

1. A straight line segment can be drawn joining any two points. 2. Any straight line segment can be extended indefinitely in a straight line. 3. Given any straight line ...

A subset F subset R of the real numbers is said to be an F_sigma set provided F is the countable union of closed sets. The name F_sigma comes from French: The F stands for ...

A factorion is an integer which is equal to the sum of factorials of its digits. There are exactly four such numbers: 1 = 1! (1) 2 = 2! (2) 145 = 1!+4!+5! (3) 40585 = ...

Given a sequence of independent random variates X_1, X_2, ..., if sigma_k^2=var(X_k) and rho_n^2=max_(k<=n)((sigma_k^2)/(s_n^2)), then lim_(n->infty)rho_n^2=0. This means ...

The first Fermat point X (or F_1) (sometimes simply called "the Fermat point," Torricelli point, or first isogonic center) is the point X which minimizes the sum of distances ...

The forward difference is a finite difference defined by Deltaa_n=a_(n+1)-a_n. (1) Higher order differences are obtained by repeated operations of the forward difference ...
