alpha_n(z) = int_1^inftyt^ne^(-zt)dt (1) = n!z^(-(n+1))e^(-z)sum_(k=0)^(n)(z^k)/(k!). (2) It is equivalent to alpha_n(z)=E_(-n)(z), (3) where E_n(z) is the En-function.

A cryptarithmetic in which the letters used to represent distinct digits are derived from related words or meaningful phrases. The term was coined by Hunter in 1955 (Madachy ...

The alternating harmonic series is the series sum_(k=1)^infty((-1)^(k-1))/k=ln2, which is the special case eta(1) of the Dirichlet eta function eta(z) and also the x=1 case ...

An alternating multilinear form on a real vector space V is a multilinear form F:V tensor ... tensor V->R (1) such that ...

Also known as the Leibniz criterion. An alternating series converges if a_1>=a_2>=... and lim_(k->infty)a_k=0.

Let A denote an R-algebra, so that A is a vector space over R and A×A->A (1) (x,y)|->x·y. (2) Then A is said to be alternative if, for all x,y in A, (x·y)·y=x·(y·y) (3) ...

The term used in propositional calculus for the NAND connective. The notation A|B is used for this connective, a most unfortunate choice in light of modern usage of A|B or ...

The alternative hypothesis is the hypothesis used in hypothesis testing that is contrary to the null hypothesis. It is usually taken to be that the observations are the ...

The plane through an edge of a trihedron drawn perpendicularly to the opposite face. The term was first used by J. Neuberg (Altshiller-Court 1979, p. 298).

An expression is said to be ambiguous (or poorly defined) if its definition does not assign it a unique interpretation or value. An expression which is not ambiguous is said ...
