There are two equivalent definitions for a nilpotent matrix. 1. A square matrix whose eigenvalues are all 0. 2. A square matrix A such that A^n is the zero matrix 0 for some ...

The set of nilpotent elements in a commutative ring is an ideal, and it is called the nilradical. Another equivalent description is that it is the intersection of the prime ...

A pile of counters in a game of nim. The nim-heap illustrated above corresponds to the game of Marienbad.

A conic section on which the midpoints of the sides of any complete quadrangle lie. The three diagonal points P, Q, and R also lie on this conic.

Any cubic curve that passes through eight of the nine intersections of two given cubic curves automatically passes through the ninth.

Let S_N(s)=sum_(n=1)^infty[(n^(1/N))]^(-s), (1) where [x] denotes nearest integer function, i.e., the integer closest to x. For s>3, S_2(s) = 2zeta(s-1) (2) S_3(s) = ...

A nowhere-neat dissection in which squares of the same size are not allowed to share any part of a side.

Let M be a finitely generated module over a commutative Noetherian ring R. Then there exists a finite set {N_i|1<=i<=l} of submodules of M such that 1. intersection ...

A module M is Noetherian if it obeys the ascending chain condition with respect to inclusion, i.e., if every set of increasing sequences of submodules eventually becomes ...

If two curves phi and psi of multiplicities r_i!=0 and s_i!=0 have only ordinary points or ordinary singular points and cusps in common, then every curve which has at least ...
