Any irreducible curve may be carried by a factorable Cremona transformation into one with none but ordinary singular points.

An assemblage of faces forming a polyhedron of zero volume (Holden 1991, p. 124).

Given a Jacobi theta function, the nome is defined as q(k) = e^(piitau) (1) = e^(-piK^'(k)/K(k)) (2) = e^(-piK(sqrt(1-k^2))/K(k)) (3) (Borwein and Borwein 1987, pp. 41, 109 ...

A geometry in which Archimedes' axiom does not hold.

The nonagon, also known as an enneagon, is a 9-sided polygon. Although the term "enneagon" is perhaps preferable (since it uses the Greek prefix and suffix instead of the ...

The star figure {9/3} composed of three equilateral triangles rotated at angles 0 degrees, 40 degrees, and 80 degrees. It has been called the star of Goliath by analogy with ...

An algebra which does not satisfy a(bc)=(ab)c is called a nonassociative algebra.

A generalization of Student's t-distribution known as the noncentral Student's t-distribution is given by (1) where Gamma(z) is the gamma function and _1F_1(a;b;z) is a ...

Let gamma be a path in C, w=f(z), and theta and phi be the tangents to the curves gamma and f(gamma) at z_0 and w_0. If there is an N such that f^((N))(z_0) != 0 (1) ...

A ruled surface parameterization x(u,v)=b(u)+vg(u) is called noncylindrical if gxg^' is nowhere 0. A noncylindrical ruled surface always has a parameterization of the form ...
