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 ...

Factor analysis allows the determination of common axes influencing sets of independent measured sets. It is "the granddaddy of multivariate techniques (Gould 1996, pp. ...

A number of the form 2^n-1 obtained by setting x=1 in a Fermat-Lucas polynomial, more commonly known as a Mersenne number.

An alternative name for an associated Legendre polynomial.

Let F_n be the nth Fibonacci number. Then the sequence {F_n}_(n=2)^infty={1,2,3,5,8,...} is complete, even if one is restricted to subsequences in which no two consecutive ...

The first Brocard Cevian triangle is the Cevian triangle of the first Brocard point. It has area Delta_1=(2a^2b^2c^2)/((a^2+b^2)(b^2+c^2)(c^2+a^2))Delta, where Delta is the ...

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 friend of a number n is another number m such that (m,n) is a friendly pair.

The gamma product (e.g., Prudnikov et al. 1986, pp. 22 and 792), is defined by Gamma[a_1,...,a_m; b_1,...,b_n]=(Gamma(a_1)...Gamma(a_m))/(Gamma(b_1)...Gamma(b_n)), where ...

_2F_1(-1/2,-1/2;1;h^2) = sum_(n=0)^(infty)(1/2; n)^2h^(2n) (1) = 1+1/4h^2+1/(64)h^4+1/(256)h^6+... (2) (OEIS A056981 and A056982), where _2F_1(a,b;c;x) is a hypergeometric ...
