Let A be a C^*-algebra, then an element u in A is called a partial isometry if uu^*u=u.

For a partial order, the size of the longest chain is called the length.

An apodization function similar to the Bartlett function.

"God is or He is not...Let us weigh the gain and the loss in choosing...'God is.' If you gain, you gain all, if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, unhesitatingly, that ...

The Pasch configuration is the unbalanced (6_2,4_3) configuration (since there are two lines through each of six points and three points on each of four lines) illustrated ...

In the plane, if a line intersects one side of a triangle and misses the three vertices, then it must intersect one of the other two sides. This is a special case of the ...

A theorem stated in 1882 which cannot be derived from Euclid's postulates. Given points a, b, c, and d on a line, if it is known that the points are ordered as (a,b,c) and ...

The function f(x,y)=(2x^2-y)(y-x^2) which does not have a local maximum at (0, 0), despite criteria commonly touted in the second half of the 1800s which indicated the ...

y^m=kx^n(a-x)^b. The curves with integer n, b, and m were studied by de Sluze between 1657 and 1698. The name "Pearls of Sluze" was given to these curves by Blaise Pascal ...

I((chi_s^2)/(sqrt(2(k-1))),(k-3)/2)=(Gamma(1/2chi_s^2,(k-1)/2))/(Gamma((k-1)/2)), where Gamma(x) is the gamma function.
