A map which sends open sets to open sets.

In a topological space X, an open neighborhood of a point x is an open set containing x. A set containing an open neighborhood is simply called a neighborhood.

Given an acute angle in a right triangle, the opposite side is the leg of the triangle which is not incident on the angle. Lengths of opposite and adjacent sides appear ...

The illusion illustrated above in which the bounding rectangle and inner square both appear distorted.

A tree is planted at each lattice point in a circular orchard which has center at the origin and radius r. If the radius of trees exceeds 1/r units, one is unable to see out ...

A topology defined on a totally ordered set X whose open sets are all the finite intersections of subsets of the form {x in X|x>a} or {x in X|x<a}, where a in X. The order ...

The number of nondecreasing lists {a_1,a_2,...,a_n} consisting of n elements 1<=a_i<=k is given by the binomial coefficient N(n,k)=(n+k-1; n-1). For example, there are six ...

A pair of quantities (a, b) where ordering is significant, so (a, b) is considered distinct from (b, a) for a!=b.

An ambiguous term which is sometimes used to mean a partially ordered set and sometimes to mean a totally ordered set.

A rooted tree in which the order of the subtrees is significant. There is a one-to-one correspondence between ordered forests with n nodes and binary trees with n nodes.
