Consider n intersecting ellipses. The maximal number of regions into which these divide the plane are N(n)=2n^2-2n+2=2(n^2-n+1), giving values for n=1, 2, ... of 2, 6, 14, ...

The maximal number of regions into which n lines divide a plane are N(n)=1/2(n^2+n+2) which, for n=1, 2, ... gives 2, 4, 7, 11, 16, 22, ... (OEIS A000124), the same maximal ...

The Plateau curves were studied by the Belgian physicist and mathematician Joseph Plateau. They have Cartesian equation x = (asin[(m+n)t])/(sin[(m-n)t]) (1) y = ...

The only stellations of Platonic solids which are uniform polyhedra are the three dodecahedron stellations and the great icosahedron.

Through any point in the plane, there is at most one straight line parallel to a given straight line. This axiom is equivalent to the parallel postulate.

The plumbing of a p-sphere and a q-sphere is defined as the disjoint union of S^p×D^q and D^p×S^q with their common D^p×D^q, identified via the identity homeomorphism. This ...

An upper semicontinuous function whose restrictions to all complex lines are subharmonic (where defined). These functions were introduced by P. Lelong and Oka in the early ...

Let p be an odd prime, k be an integer such that pk and 1<=k<=2(p+1), and N=2kp+1. Then the following are equivalent 1. N is prime. 2. There exists an a such that ...

Let n-1=FR where F is the factored part of a number F=p_1^(a_1)...p_r^(a_r), (1) where (R,F)=1, and R<sqrt(n). Pocklington's theorem, also known as the Pocklington-Lehmer ...

The first and second Pöschl-Teller differential equations are given by y^('')-{a^2[(kappa(kappa-1))/(sin^2(ax))+(lambda(lambda-1))/(cos^2(ax))]-b^2}y=0 and ...
