The Maclaurin-Bézout theorem says that two curves of degree n intersect in n^2 points, so two cubics intersect in nine points. This means that n(n+3)/2 points do not always ...

Let a patch be given by the map x:U->R^n, where U is an open subset of R^2, or more generally by x:A->R^n, where A is any subset of R^2. Then x(U) (or more generally, x(A)) ...

A real, nondegenerate n×n symmetric matrix A, and its corresponding symmetric bilinear form Q(v,w)=v^(T)Aw, has signature (p,q) if there is a nondegenerate matrix C such that ...

A very large number defined in terms of circle notation by Steinhaus (1983) as .

Given order statistics Y_1=min_(j)X_j, Y_2, ..., Y_(N-1), Y_N=max_(j)X_j with sample size N, the midrange of the random sample is defined by MR=1/2(Y_1+Y_N) (Hogg and Craig ...

A number n for which the product of divisors is equal to n^2. The first few are 1, 6, 8, 10, 14, 15, 21, 22, ... (OEIS A007422).

A polynomial in more than one variable, e.g., .

The vector field N_f(z)=-(f(z))/(f^'(z)) arising in the definition of the Newtonian graph of a complex univariate polynomial f (Smale 1985, Shub et al. 1988, Kozen and ...

A group or other algebraic object is called non-Abelian if the law of commutativity does not always hold, i.e., if the object is not Abelian. For example, the group of ...

There are a number of attractive polyhedron compounds consisting of 30 octahedra. This compound will be implemented in a future version of the Wolfram Language as ...
