An abstract group is a group characterized only by its abstract properties and not by the particular representations chosen for elements. For example, there are two distinct ...

An abstract machine is a model of a computer system (considered either as hardware or software) constructed to allow a detailed and precise analysis of how the computer ...

A branch point whose neighborhood of values wrap around the range a finite number of times p as their complex arguments theta varies from 0 to a multiple of 2pi is called an ...

For some constant alpha_0, alpha(f,z)<alpha_0 implies that z is an approximate zero of f, where alpha(f,z)=(|f(z)|)/(|f^'(z)|)sup_(k>1)|(f^((k))(z))/(k!f^'(z))|^(1/(k-1)). ...

A magic square for which the number of letters in the word for each number generates another magic square. This definition depends, of course, on the language being used. In ...

A class of curve defined at integer values which hops from one value to another. Their name derives from the Greek word betaalphataurhoalphachiiotaomicronnu batrachion, which ...

An optical illusion consisting of a spinnable top marked in black with the pattern shown above. When the wheel is spun (especially slowly), the black broken lines appear as ...

An equation for a lattice sum b_3(1) (Borwein and Bailey 2003, p. 26) b_3(1) = sum^'_(i,j,k=-infty)^infty((-1)^(i+j+k))/(sqrt(i^2+j^2+k^2)) (1) = ...

Polynomials b_n(x) which form a Sheffer sequence with g(t) = t/(e^t-1) (1) f(t) = e^t-1, (2) giving generating function sum_(k=0)^infty(b_k(x))/(k!)t^k=(t(t+1)^x)/(ln(1+t)). ...

A magic square that remains magic when its border is removed. A nested magic square remains magic after the border is successively removed one ring at a time. An example of a ...
