The manipulation of Dehn surgery descriptions by a certain set of operations.

A list of problems in low-dimensional topology maintained by Kirby (1995). The list currently runs about 380 pages.

An a×b rectangle can be packed with 1×n strips iff n|a or n|b.

The system of partial differential equations del ^2s-(|a|^2+1)s = 0 (1) del ^2a-del (del ·a)-s^2a = a. (2)

Every Möbius strip dissection of unequal squares can be glued along its edge to produce a dissection of the Klein bottle. There are no other ways to tile a Klein bottle with ...

The infinite product identity Gamma(1+v)=2^(2v)product_(m=1)^infty[pi^(-1/2)Gamma(1/2+2^(-m)v)], where Gamma(x) is the gamma function.

Let J_nu(z) be a Bessel function of the first kind, N_nu(z) a Bessel function of the second kind, and j_(nu,n)(z) the zeros of z^(-nu)J_nu(z) in order of ascending real part. ...

The knot curve is a quartic curve with implicit Cartesian equation (x^2-1)^2=y^2(3+2y). (1) The x- and y-intercepts are (0,-1), (0,1/2), and (+/-1,0). It has horizontal ...

The determinant of a knot is defined as |Delta(-1)|, where Delta(z) is the Alexander polynomial (Rolfsen 1976, p. 213).

The exterior of a knot K is the complement of an open solid torus knotted like K. The removed open solid torus is called a tubular neighborhood (Adams 1994, p. 258).
