A requirement necessary for a given statement or theorem to hold. Also called a criterion.

A generalization of Poncelet's continuity principle made by H. Schubert in 1874-1879. The conservation of number principle asserts that the number of solutions of any ...

A curve in two dimensions on which the value of a function f(x,y) is a constant. Other synonymous terms are equipotential curve, isarithm, and isopleth. A plot of several ...

An entire Cremona transformation is a birational transformation of the plane. Cremona transformations are maps of the form x_(i+1) = f(x_i,y_i) (1) y_(i+1) = g(x_i,y_i), (2) ...

A formal structure for the organization of information. Examples of data structures include the list, queue, stack, and tree.

A continuum is a decomposable continuum if and only if it is the union of two of its proper subcontinua. A continuum that is not decomposable is an indecomposable continuum.

The involute of the deltoid x = 1/3[2cost-cos(2t)] (1) y = 1/3[2sint-sin(2t)] (2) is a hypocycloid involute for n=3 x_i = 1/9[2cost-cos(2t)] (3) y_i = 1/9[2sint+sin(2t)], (4) ...

The radial curve of the deltoid x = 1/3a[2cost+cos(2t)] (1) y = 1/3a[2sint-sin(2t)] (2) with pedal point (x_0,y_0) is x_p = 1/6[3x+cost+3xcost-cos(2t)-3ysint] (3) y_p = ...

A diagonal of a square matrix which is traversed in the "southeast" direction. "The" diagonal (or "main diagonal," or "principal diagonal," or "leading diagonal") of an n×n ...

The digon is the degenerate polygon (corresponding to a line segment) with Schläfli symbol {2}.
