Let suma_k and sumb_k be a series with positive terms and suppose a_1<=b_1, a_2<=b_2, .... 1. If the bigger series converges, then the smaller series also converges. 2. If ...

A set X is called a "cone" with vertex at the origin if for any x in X and any scalar a>=0, ax in X.

A curve has positive orientation if a region R is on the left when traveling around the outside of R, or on the right when traveling around the inside of R.

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 order-n dipole graph D_n is a multigraph consisting of two vertices and n multiple edges joining them. The dipole graph D_2 is a multigraph that can be considered to ...

Consider the family of ellipses (x^2)/(c^2)+(y^2)/((1-c)^2)-1=0 (1) for c in [0,1]. The partial derivative with respect to c is -(2x^2)/(c^3)+(2y^2)/((1-c)^3)=0 (2) ...

A distribution of error such that the error remaining is always given approximately by the last term dropped.

The paradox "This statement is false," stated in the fourth century BC. It is a sharper version of the Epimenides paradox, "All Cretans are liars...One of their own poets has ...

An exponential generating function for the integer sequence a_0, a_1, ... is a function E(x) such that E(x) = sum_(k=0)^(infty)a_k(x^k)/(k!) (1) = ...

Let F be a field of field characteristic p. Then the Frobenius automorphism on F is the map phi:F->F which maps alpha to alpha^p for each element alpha of F.
