The series which arises in the binomial theorem for negative integer -n, (x+a)^(-n) = sum_(k=0)^(infty)(-n; k)x^ka^(-n-k) (1) = sum_(k=0)^(infty)(-1)^k(n+k-1; k)x^ka^(-n-k) ...

The term negative likelihood ratio is also used (especially in medicine) to test nonnested complementary hypotheses as follows, NLR = ([false negative rate])/([true negative ...

The evolute of the nephroid given by x = 1/2[3cost-cos(3t)] (1) y = 1/2[3sint-sin(3t)] (2) is given by x = cos^3t (3) y = 1/4[3sint+sin(3t)], (4) which is another nephroid.

Let a triangle have side lengths a, b, and c with opposite angles A, B, and C. Then (b+c)/a = (cos[1/2(B-C)])/(sin(1/2A)) (1) (c+a)/b = (cos[1/2(C-A)])/(sin(1/2B)) (2) ...

A line along a normal vector (i.e., perpendicular to some tangent line). If K subset R^d is a centrosymmetric set which has a twice differentiable boundary, then there are ...

Two functions f(x) and g(x) are orthogonal over the interval a<=x<=b with weighting function w(x) if <f(x)|g(x)>=int_a^bf(x)g(x)w(x)dx=0. (1) If, in addition, ...

Let gamma be a path given parametrically by sigma(t). Let s denote arc length from the initial point. Then int_gammaf(s)ds = int_a^bf(sigma(t))|sigma^'(t)|dt (1) = ...

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 ...

One petabyte is 10^(15) bytes. Unfortunately, the term is sometimes also used to mean 2^(50)=1024^5 bytes. However, the latter usage is deprecated, and the term pebibyte is ...

A polybe is a polyform formed from a polycubes by removing of half of each cube such that at least half of the original join between cubes is retained. The numbers of polybes ...
