Legendre showed that there is no rational algebraic function which always gives primes. In 1752, Goldbach showed that no polynomial with integer coefficients can give a prime ...

A hex number, also called a centered hexagonal number, is given by H_n = 1+6T_n (1) = 3n^2+3n+1, (2) where T_n=n(n+1)/2 is the nth triangular number and the indexing with ...

A cubic number is a figurate number of the form n^3 with n a positive integer. The first few are 1, 8, 27, 64, 125, 216, 343, ... (OEIS A000578). The protagonist Christopher ...

An acnode, also called an isolated point or hermit point, of a curve is a point that satisfies the equation of the curve but has no neighboring points that also lie on the ...

Let mu be a positive measure on a sigma-algebra M, and let lambda be an arbitrary (real or complex) measure on M. If there is a set A in M such that lambda(E)=lambda(A ...

A rewriting of a given quantity (e.g., a matrix) in terms of a combination of "simpler" quantities.

Matrix decomposition refers to the transformation of a given matrix (often assumed to be a square matrix) into a given canonical form.

The system of partial differential equations U_t = [V,W] (1) V_t = [W,U] (2) W_t = [U,V], (3) where [A,B] denotes the commutator.

The quintic surface given by the equation x^2+y^3+z^5=1 was considered by S. Plouffe (pers. comm., Dec. 21, 1998) and here dubbed the peninsula surface. It has been dubbed ...

A quartic surface which is the locus of zeros of the determinant of a symmetric 4×4 matrix of linear forms. A general symmetroid has 10 ordinary double points (Jessop 1916, ...
