The Euclidean metric is the function d:R^n×R^n->R that assigns to any two vectors in Euclidean n-space x=(x_1,...,x_n) and y=(y_1,...,y_n) the number ...

The knots that make up a knot sum of a composite knot are known as factor knots (Adams 1994, p. 8).

A group acts freely if there are no group fixed points. A point which is fixed by every group element would not be free to move.

The dual of the great dodecicosahedron and Wenninger dual W_(101).

Given F_1(x,y,z,u,v,w) = 0 (1) F_2(x,y,z,u,v,w) = 0 (2) F_3(x,y,z,u,v,w) = 0, (3) if the determinantof the Jacobian |JF(u,v,w)|=|(partial(F_1,F_2,F_3))/(partial(u,v,w))|!=0, ...

The indefinite summation operator Delta^(-1) for discrete variables, is the equivalent of integration for continuous variables. If DeltaY(x)=y(x), then Delta^(-1)y(x)=Y(x).

An element a of a ring which is nonzero, not a unit, and whose only divisors are the trivial ones (i.e., the units and the products ua, where u is a unit). Equivalently, an ...

An optical illusion, illustrated above, in which the eye perceives a white upright equilateral triangle where none is actually drawn.

The knot curve is a quartic curve with implicit Cartesian equation (x^2-1)^2=y^2(3+2y). (1) The x- and y-intercepts are (0,-1), (0,1/2), and (+/-1,0). It has horizontal ...

A polynomial factorization algorithm that proceeds by considering the vector of coefficients of a polynomial P, calculating b_i=P(i)/a_i, constructing the Lagrange ...
