A swirl is a generic word to describe a function having arcs which double back around each other. The plots above correspond to the function f(r,theta)=sin(6cosr-ntheta) for ...

A tetradic (or four-way) number is a number that remains unchanged when flipped back to front, mirrored up-down, or flipped up-down. Since the only numbers that remain ...

The third Morley triangle is made by rotating line BC toward vertex A about vertex B by angle (B+4pi)/3. It is an equilateral triangle. It has trilinear vertex matrix [1 ...

Toroidal functions are a class of functions also called ring functions that appear in systems having toroidal symmetry. Toroidal functions can be expressed in terms of the ...

A number n such that the last digits of n^3 are the same as n. 49 is trimorphic since 49^3=117649 (Wells 1986, p. 124). The first few are 1, 4, 5, 6, 9, 24, 25, 49, 51, 75, ...

A number of the form Tt_n=((n+2; 2); 2)=1/8n(n+1)(n+2)(n+3) (Comtet 1974, Stanley 1999), where (n; k) is a binomial coefficient. The first few values are 3, 15, 45, 105, 210, ...

A number n is called wasteful if the number of digits in the prime factorization of n (including powers) uses more digits than the number of digits in n. The first few ...

There are (at least) two mathematical objects known as Weierstrass forms. The first is a general form into which an elliptic curve over any field K can be transformed, given ...

A Z-number is a real number xi such that 0<=frac[(3/2)^kxi]<1/2 for all k=1, 2, ..., where frac(x) is the fractional part of x. Mahler (1968) showed that there is at most one ...

de Rham's function is the function defined by the functional equations phi_alpha(1/2x) = alphaphi_alpha(x) (1) phi_alpha(1/2(x+1)) = alpha+(1-alpha)phi_alpha(x) (2) (Trott ...
