The surface corresponding to the region of obscuration when a solid is illuminated from a point light source (located at the radiant point). A disk is the shadow of a sphere ...

A generalization of the Bessel differential equation for functions of order 0, given by zy^('')+y^'+(z+A)y=0. Solutions are y=e^(+/-iz)_1F_1(1/2∓1/2iA;1;∓2iz), where ...

The inverse curve of a sinusoidal spiral r=a^(1/n)[cos(nt)]^(1/n) with inversion center at the origin and inversion radius k is another sinusoidal spiral ...

A surface parameterized in variables u and v is called smooth if the tangent vectors in the u and v directions satisfy T_uxT_v!=0, where AxB is a cross product.

The 6-polyiamond illustrated above.

A surveying problem which asks: Determine the position of an unknown accessible point P by its bearings from three inaccessible known points A, B, and C.

There are (at least) two equations known as Sommerfeld's formula. The first is J_nu(z)=1/(2pi)int_(-eta+iinfty)^(2pi-eta+iinfty)e^(izcost)e^(inu(t-pi/2))dt, where J_nu(z) is ...

Sparklines are word-like graphics that have an intensity of visual distinctions comparable to words or letters (Tufte 2006, p. 4).

F(x) = -Li_2(-x) (1) = int_0^x(ln(1+t))/tdt, (2) where Li_2(x) is the dilogarithm.

A spherical polyhedron is set of arcs on the surface of a sphere corresponding to the projections of the edges of a polyhedron. The images above illustrate the spherical ...
