By analogy with the sinc function, define the tanc function by tanc(z)={(tanz)/z for z!=0; 1 for z=0. (1) Since tanz/z is not a cardinal function, the "analogy" with the sinc ...

17 is a Fermat prime, which means that the 17-sided regular polygon (the heptadecagon) is constructible using compass and straightedge (as proved by Gauss).

The set A^2 of all ordered pairs of complex numbers.

A nonhomogeneous linear equation or system of nonhomogeneous linear systems of equations is said to be affine.

The ideal generated by a set in a vector space.

A set which transforms via converse functions. Antisets usually arise in the context of Chu spaces.

The greatest radial distance of an ellipse as measured from a focus. Taking v=pi in the equation of an ellipse r=(a(1-e^2))/(1+ecosv) gives the apoapsis distance r_+=a(1+e). ...

An Artin L-function over the rationals Q encodes in a generating function information about how an irreducible monic polynomial over Z factors when reduced modulo each prime. ...

A polyhex consisting of hexagons arranged along a line.

A common mechanism which generates singularities from smooth initial conditions.
