A generic word for a very large number. The term has no well-defined mathematical meaning. Conway and Guy (1996) define the nth zillion as 10^(3n+3) in the American system ...

A pair of zips, each zip being half a zipper, which can be zippered up to close a surface along a curve. The concept of a zip-pair can be extremely useful in topological ...

The zonal polynomials are a class of orthogonal polynomials. They are a special case of the Jack polynomials corresponding to the case alpha=2.

The partial differential equation ((partial^2)/(partialt^2)-(partial^2)/(partialx^2))((u_(xy))/u)+2(u^2)_(xt)=0.

Written in the notation of partial derivatives, the d'Alembertian square ^2 in a flat spacetime is defined by square ^2=del ^2-1/(c^2)(partial^2)/(partialt^2), where c is the ...

If three circles A, B, and C are taken in pairs, the external similarity points of the three pairs lie on a straight line. Similarly, the external similarity point of one ...

F_mF_(n+1)-F_nF_(m+1)=(-1)^nF_(m-n), where F_n is a Fibonacci number.

A box can be packed with a harmonic brick a×ab×abc iff the box has dimensions ap×abq×abcr for some natural numbers p, q, r (i.e., the box is a multiple of the brick).

The de Grey-Haugstrup graphs are two 6-chromatic graphs on 47 and 48 vertices that are unit-distance in 3 dimensions (de Grey and Haugstrup 2020).

A solution zeta_k=e^(2piik/d) to the cyclotomic equation x^d=1. The de Moivre numbers give the coordinates in the complex plane of the polygon vertices of a regular polygon ...
