The Abel prize is a new mathematics prize of the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters, dedicated to the memory of Niels Henrik Abel (1802-1829) on the occasion of the ...

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

The study of the geometry of figures by algebraic representation and manipulation of equations describing their positions, configurations, and separations. Analytic geometry ...

An anti-analytic function is a function f satisfying the condition (df)/(dz)=0. (1) Using the result ...

In general, the catacaustics of the astroid are complicated curves. For an astroid with parametric equations x = cos^3t (1) y = sin^3t, (2) the catacaustic for a radiant ...

The evolute of the astroid is a hypocycloid evolute for n=4. Surprisingly, it is another astroid scaled by a factor n/(n-2)=4/2=2 and rotated 1/(2·4)=1/8 of a turn. For an ...

The involute of the astroid is a hypocycloid involute for n=4. Surprisingly, it is another astroid scaled by a factor (n-2)/n=2/4=1/2 and rotated 1/(2·4)=1/8 of a turn. For ...

The Atzema spiral, also known as the Pritch-Atzema spiral, is the curve whose catacaustic for a radiant point at the origin is a circle, as illustrated above. It has ...

An azimuthal projection which is neither equal-area nor conformal. Let phi_1 and lambda_0 be the latitude and longitude of the center of the projection, then the ...

A subset X subset Y is said to be bicollared in Y if there exists an embedding b:X×[-1,1]->Y such that b(x,0)=x when x in X. The map b or its image is then said to be the ...
