A multiple of 2. The word should really be something like "bicade" (by analogy with decade) but the "oct" embedded in the stem of the word derives historically to the fact ...

An octic curve is an algebraic curve of order eight. The pear curve is an example of an octic curve.

An algebraic surface of degree eight. The maximum number of ordinary double points known to exist on an octic surface is 168 (the Endraß octics), although the rigorous upper ...

An octomino is an 8-polyomino. There are 369 free (illustrated above), 704 one-sided, and 2725 fixed octominoes.

The number sign # sometimes used in mathematics to indicate the number of a quantity satisfying some condition, e.g., #{n:n>1}. The symbol is also used to denote a primorial.

An odd power is a number of the form m^n for m>0 an integer and n a positive odd integer. The first few odd powers are 1, 8, 27, 32, 64, 125, 128, 216, 243, 343, 512, ... ...

Betting odds are written in the form r:s ("r to s") and correspond to the probability of winning P=s/(r+s). Therefore, given a probability P, the odds of winning are ...

An expression that is of a given type. For example, all primes p>3 are "of the form" 6n+/-1. The term "of shape" is sometimes also used.

Any continuous cumulative frequency curve, such as the one illustrated above in the right figure.

A linear real-valued function omega^1 of vectors v such that omega^1(v)|->R. Vectors (i.e., contravariant vectors or "kets" |psi>) and one-forms (i.e., covariant vectors or ...
