A puzzle in which one object is to be converted to another by making a finite number of cuts and reassembling it. The cuts are often, but not always, restricted to straight ...

A dynamical system in which the phase space volume contracts along a trajectory. This means that the generalized divergence is less than zero, (partialf_i)/(partialx_i)<0, ...

An object that is not superimposable on its mirror image is said to be dissymmetric. All asymmetric objects are dissymmetric, and an object with no improper rotation ...

The distribution parameter of a noncylindrical ruled surface parameterized by x(u,v)=sigma(u)+vdelta(u), (1) where sigma is the striction curve and delta the director curve, ...

A multiplication * is said to be right distributive if (x+y)z=xz+yz for every x, y, and z. Similarly, it is said to be left distributive if z(x+y)=zx+zy for every x, y, and ...

A divergenceless vector field, also called a solenoidal field, is a vector field for which del ·F=0. Therefore, there exists a G such that F=del xG. Furthermore, F can be ...

A property that passes from a topological space to all its quotient spaces. This is true for connectedness, local connectedness and separability, but not for any of the ...

sum_(k=-n)^n(-1)^k(n+b; n+k)(n+c; c+k)(b+c; b+k)=(Gamma(b+c+n+1))/(n!Gamma(b+1)Gamma(c+1)), where (n; k) is a binomial coefficient and Gamma(x) is a gamma function.

A dodecagon is a 12-sided polygon. Several special types of dodecagons are illustrated above. In particular, a dodecagon with vertices equally spaced around a circle and with ...

A number of attractive 10-compounds of the regular dodecahedron can be constructed. The compound illustrated above will be implemented in a future version of the Wolfram ...
