A subspace A of X is called a retract of X if there is a continuous map f:X->X (called a retraction) such that for all x in X and all a in A, 1. f(x) in A, and 2. f(a)=a. ...

A retraction is a continuous map of a space onto a subspace leaving each point of the subspace fixed. Alternatively, retraction can refer to withdrawal of a paper containing ...

An algorithm for computing an Egyptian fraction.

A polyhedron with extra square faces, given by the Schläfli symbol r{p; q}.

A beautiful class of polyhedra composed of rhombic faces discovered accidentally by R. Towle while attempting to develop a function to create a rhombic hexahedron from a ...

The dual polyhedron of the rhombicosahedron U_(56) and Wenninger dual W_(96).

A parallelogram in which angles are oblique and adjacent sides are of unequal length.

If the knot K is the boundary K=f(S^1) of a singular disk f:D->S^3 which has the property that each self-intersecting component is an arc A subset f(D^2) for which f^(-1)(A) ...

If the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture holds for all semistable elliptic curves, then Fermat's last theorem is true. Before its proof by Ribet in 1986, the theorem had been ...

S_n(z) = zj_n(z)=sqrt((piz)/2)J_(n+1/2)(z) (1) C_n(z) = -zn_n(z)=-sqrt((piz)/2)N_(n+1/2)(z), (2) where j_n(z) and n_n(z) are spherical Bessel functions of the first and ...
