Define the Euler measure of a polyhedral set as the Euler integral of its indicator function. It is easy to show by induction that the Euler measure of a closed bounded ...

Exponential decay is the decrease in a quantity N according to the law N(t)=N_0e^(-lambdat) (1) for a parameter t and constant lambda (known as the decay constant), where e^x ...

The exsecant is a little-used trigonometric function defined by exsec(x)=secx-1, (1) where secx is the secant. The exsecant can be extended to the complex plane as ...

A set of curves whose equations are of the same form but which have different values assigned to one or more parameters in the equations. Families of curves arise, for ...

A distribution which arises in the study of half-integer spin particles in physics, P(k)=(k^s)/(e^(k-mu)+1). (1) Its integral is given by int_0^infty(k^sdk)/(e^(k-mu)+1) = ...

A set which contains a nonnegative integral number of elements is said to be finite. A set which is not finite is said to be infinite. A finite or countably infinite set is ...

The first Yff triangle is the Cevian triangle DeltaA^'B^'C^' of the first Yff point. The area of the first Yff triangle is Delta=(u^3)/(2R), where R is the circumradius of ...

A closed embedded smooth plane curve has at least four vertices, where a vertex is defined as an extremum of curvature.

A geodesic mapping f:M->N between two Riemannian manifolds is a diffeomorphism sending geodesics of M into geodesics of N, whose inverse also sends geodesics to geodesics ...

A triangle formed by the arcs of three geodesics on a smooth surface.
