In elliptic n-space, the pole of an (n-1)-flat is a point located at an arc length of pi/2 radians away from each point of the (n-1)-flat.

If it is possible to transform a coordinate system to a form where the metric elements g_(munu) are constants independent of x^mu, then the space is flat.

The flattening of a spheroid (also called oblateness) is denoted epsilon or f (Snyder 1987, p. 13). It is defined as epsilon={(a-c)/a=1-c/a oblate; (c-a)/a=c/a-1 prolate, (1) ...

An elegant algorithm for constructing an Eulerian cycle (Skiena 1990, p. 193).

A graph G is said to be flexible if the vertices of G can be moved continuously so that (1) the distances between adjacent vertices are unchanged, and (2) at least two ...

Let f:R×R->R be a one-parameter family of C^3 maps satisfying f(0,0) = 0 (1) [(partialf)/(partialx)]_(mu=0,x=0) = -1 (2) [(partial^2f)/(partialx^2)]_(mu=0,x=0) < 0 (3) ...

An action with G=R. Flows are generated by vector fields and vice versa.

Newton's term for a variable in his method of fluxions (differential calculus).

"Fluxion" is the term for derivative in Newton's calculus, generally denoted with a raised dot, e.g., f^.. The "d-ism" of Leibniz's df/dt eventually won the notation battle ...

A 180 degrees rotation of a tangle. The word "flype" is derived from the old Scottish verb meaning "to turn or fold back." Tait (1898) used this word to indicate a different ...
