Deduction is the process of drawing conclusions from premises and syllogisms.

A definition assigns properties to some sort of mathematical object. For example, Euclid's Elements starts with a number of definitions, such as "a line is a breadthless ...

An illusion due to Franz Joseph Delboeuf, a Belgian philosopher and expert on hypnosis. If the same circle is placed inside two different concentric circles, its size will ...

Given a Jacobi amplitude phi and a elliptic modulus m in an elliptic integral, Delta(phi)=sqrt(1-msin^2phi).

A curve which can be turned continuously inside an equilateral triangle. There are an infinite number of delta curves, but the simplest are the circle and lens-shaped ...

A delta sequence is a sequence of strongly peaked functions for which lim_(n->infty)int_(-infty)^inftydelta_n(x)f(x)dx=f(0) (1) so that in the limit as n->infty, the ...

The evolute of a deltoid x = 1/3[2cost-cos(2t)] (1) y = 1/3[2sint-sin(2t)] (2) is a hypocycloid evolute for n=3 x_e = 2cost-cos(2t) (3) y_e = 2sint+sin(2t), (4) which is ...
