A scalar is a one-component quantity that is invariant under rotations of the coordinate system.

A conservative vector field (for which the curl del xF=0) may be assigned a scalar potential where int_CF·ds is a line integral.

The Schwarzian derivative is defined by D_(Schwarzian)=(f^(''')(x))/(f^'(x))-3/2[(f^('')(x))/(f^'(x))]^2. The Feigenbaum constant is universal for one-dimensional maps if its ...

The semimajor axis (also called the major semi-axis, major semiaxis, or major radius) of an ellipse (or related figure) is half its extent along the longer of the two ...

A polynomial with coefficients in a field is separable if its factors have distinct roots in some extension field.

An operator E such that E^ap(x)=p(x+a).

The integral int_0^thetae^(-xsecphi)dphi.

F(x) = Li_2(1-x) (1) = int_(1-x)^0(ln(1-t))/tdt, (2) where Li_2(x) is the dilogarithm.

A three-dimensional knot spun about a plane in four dimensions. Unlike suspended knots, spun knots are smoothly embedded at the poles.

A space which is isomorphic to a Borel subset B of a Polish space equipped with its sigma-algebra of Borel sets.
