A broad area of mathematics connected with functional analysis, differential equations, index theory, representation theory, and mathematical physics.

Given an acute angle in a right triangle, the opposite side is the leg of the triangle which is not incident on the angle. Lengths of opposite and adjacent sides appear ...

The illusion illustrated above in which the bounding rectangle and inner square both appear distorted.

An ambiguous term which is sometimes used to mean a partially ordered set and sometimes to mean a totally ordered set.

A rooted tree in which the order of the subtrees is significant. There is a one-to-one correspondence between ordered forests with n nodes and binary trees with n nodes.

The four of Hilbert's axioms which concern the arrangement of points.

Let (A,<=) and (B,<=) be well ordered sets with ordinal numbers alpha and beta. Then alpha<beta iff A is order isomorphic to an initial segment of B (Dauben 1990, p. 199). ...

An ordinary differential equation of order n is an equation of the form F(x,y,y^',...,y^((n)))=0.

A point which lies on at least one ordinary line is called an ordinary point, or sometimes a regular point.

The y- (vertical) coordinate of a point in a two dimensional coordinate system. Physicists and astronomers sometimes use the term to refer to the axis itself instead of the ...
