A covariant tensor of rank 1, more commonly called a one-form (or "bra").

The conversion of a quadratic polynomial of the form ax^2+bx+c to the form a(x+b/(2a))^2+(c-(b^2)/(4a)), which, defining B=b/2a and C=c-b^2/4a, simplifies to a(x+B)^2+C.

A substitution which can be used to transform integrals involving square roots into a more tractable form. form substitution sqrt(x^2+a^2) x=asinhu sqrt(x^2-a^2) x=acoshu

The term "nonisomorphic" means "not having the same form" and is used in many branches of mathematics to identify mathematical objects which are structurally distinct. ...

The norm topology on a normed space X=(X,||·||_X) is the topology tau consisting of all sets which can be written as a (possibly empty) union of sets of the form B_r(x)={y in ...

A tangent vector v_(p)=v_1x_u+v_2x_v is a principal vector iff det[v_2^2 -v_1v_2 v_1^2; E F G; e f g]=0, where e, f, and g are coefficients of the first fundamental form and ...

Geometric objects lying in a common plane are said to be coplanar. Three noncollinear points determine a plane and so are trivially coplanar. Four points are coplanar iff the ...

A partial differential diffusion equation of the form (partialU)/(partialt)=kappadel ^2U. (1) Physically, the equation commonly arises in situations where kappa is the ...

The Gelfond-Schneider constant is sometimes known as the Hilbert number. Flannery and Flannery (2000, p. 35) define a Hilbert number as a positive integer of the form n=4k+1 ...

The roots of a semisimple Lie algebra g are the Lie algebra weights occurring in its adjoint representation. The set of roots form the root system, and are completely ...
