The l^infty-polynomial norm defined for a polynomial P=a_kx^k+...+a_1x+a_0 by ||P||_infty=max_(k)|a_k|. Note that some authors (especially in the area of Diophantine ...

A prismatoid having planar sides and the same number of vertices in both of its parallel planes. The faces of a prismoid are therefore either trapezoids or parallelograms. ...

Evans et al. (2000, p. 6) use the unfortunate term "probability domain" to refer to the range of the distribution function of a probability density function. For a continuous ...

The formula giving the roots of a quadratic equation ax^2+bx+c=0 (1) as x=(-b+/-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/(2a). (2) An alternate form is given by x=(2c)/(-b+/-sqrt(b^2-4ac)). (3)

To compute an integral of the form int(dx)/(a+bx+cx^2), (1) complete the square in the denominator to obtain int(dx)/(a+bx+cx^2)=1/cint(dx)/((x+b/(2c))^2+(a/c-(b^2)/(4c^2))). ...

One of the operations exists exists (called the existential quantifier) or for all forall (called the universal quantifier, or sometimes, the general quantifier). However, ...

A statistical test making use of the statistical ranks of data points. Examples include the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and Wilcoxon signed rank test.

Let the residue from Pépin's theorem be R_n=3^((F_n-1)/2) (mod F_n), where F_n is a Fermat number. Selfridge and Hurwitz use R_n (mod 2^(35)-1,2^(36),2^(36)-1). A ...

Tetradics transform dyadics in much the same way that dyadics transform vectors. They are represented using Hebrew characters and have 81 components (Morse and Feshbach 1953, ...

The engineering terminology for one use of Fourier transforms. By breaking up a wave pulse into its frequency spectrum f_nu=F(nu)e^(2piinut), (1) the entire signal can be ...
