An equilateral polyhedron is a polyhedron whose edges are all of equal length. Platonic solids, Archimedean solids, canonical antiprisms, and canonical prisms, Johnson ...

A curve in two dimensions on which the value of a function f(x,y) is a constant. Other synonymous terms are isarithm, isopleth, and contour line. A plot of several ...

An equirectangular projection is a cylindrical equidistant projection, also called a rectangular projection, plane chart, plate carre, or unprojected map, in which the ...

A distribution of error such that the error remaining is always given approximately by the last term dropped.

A program initiated by F. Klein in an 1872 lecture to describe geometric structures in terms of their automorphism groups.

The partial differential equation R[u](u_(rr)+(u_r)/r+u_(zz))=u_r^2+u_z^2, where R[u] is the real part of u (Calogero and Degasperis 1982, p. 62; Zwillinger 1997, p. 131).

A closed ideal I in a C^*-algebra A is called essential if I has nonzero intersection with every other nonzero closed ideal A or, equivalently, if aI={0} implies a=0 for all ...

A singular point a for which f(z)(z-a)^n is not differentiable for any integer n>0.

A bounded operator U on a Hilbert space H is called essentially unitary if U^*U-I and UU^*-I are compact operators.

A three-dimensional shadow of a four-dimensional Klein bottle.
