A finite, increasing sequence of integers {a_1,...,a_m} such that (a_i-1)|(a_1...a_(m-1)) for i=1, ..., m, where m|n indicates that m divides n. A Carmichael sequence has ...

The use of coordinates (such as Cartesian coordinates) in the study of geometry. Cartesian geometry is named after René Descartes (Bell 1986, p. 48), although Descartes may ...

Let t be a nonnegative integer and let x_1, ..., x_t be nonzero elements of Z_p which are not necessarily distinct. Then the number of elements of Z_p that can be written as ...

Let X_1,X_2 subset P^2 be cubic plane curves meeting in nine points p_1, ..., p_9. If X subset P^2 is any cubic containing p_1, ..., p_8, then X contains p_9 as well. It is ...

An ellipse or hyperbola.

A dilation that is not merely a translation. Two triangles related by a central dilation are said to be perspective triangles because the lines joining corresponding vertices ...

Vandeghen's (1965) name for the transformation taking points to their isotomic conjugates.

Erdős proved that there exist at least one prime of the form 4k+1 and at least one prime of the form 4k+3 between n and 2n for all n>6.

The intersection product for classes of rational equivalence between cycles on an algebraic variety.

The set C_(n,m,d) of all m-D varieties of degree d in an n-dimensional projective space P^n into an M-D projective space P^M.
