For a Galois extension field K of a field F, the fundamental theorem of Galois theory states that the subgroups of the Galois group G=Gal(K/F) correspond with the subfields ...

A method for numerical solution of a second-order ordinary differential equation y^('')=f(x,y) first expounded by Gauss. It proceeds by introducing a function delta^(-2)f ...

If x_1<x_2<...<x_n denote the zeros of p_n(x), there exist real numbers lambda_1,lambda_2,...,lambda_n such that ...

The graph diameter of a graph is the length max_(u,v)d(u,v) of the "longest shortest path" (i.e., the longest graph geodesic) between any two graph vertices (u,v), where ...

The Grassmann graph J_q(n,k) is defined such that the vertices are the k-dimensional subspaces of an n-dimensional finite field of order q and edges correspond to pairs of ...

There are essentially three types of Fisher-Tippett extreme value distributions. The most common is the type I distribution, which are sometimes referred to as Gumbel types ...

A symmetric block design (4n+3, 2n+1, n) which is equivalent to a Hadamard matrix of order 4n+4. It is conjectured that Hadamard designs exist for all integers n>0, but this ...

A root-finding algorithm which makes use of a third-order Taylor series f(x)=f(x_n)+f^'(x_n)(x-x_n)+1/2f^('')(x_n)(x-x_n)^2+.... (1) A root of f(x) satisfies f(x)=0, so 0 ...

Hermite-Gauss quadrature, also called Hermite quadrature, is a Gaussian quadrature over the interval (-infty,infty) with weighting function W(x)=e^(-x^2) (Abramowitz and ...

The Higman-Sims group is the sporadic group HS of order |HS| = 44352000 (1) = 2^9·3^2·5^3·7·11. (2) The Higman-Sims group is 2-transitive, and has permutation representations ...
