The scramble number sn(G) of a graph G is a graph invariant developed to aid in the study of gonality of graphs. The scramble number is NP-hard to compute (Echavarria et al. ...

A Cantor set C in R^3 is said to be scrawny if for each neighborhood U of an arbitrary point p in C, there is a neighborhood V of p such that every map f:S^1->V subset C ...

A translation along a straight line L and a rotation about L such that the angle of rotation is proportional to the translation at each instant. Also known as a twist.

Any motion of a rigid body in space at every instant is a screw motion. This theorem was proved by Mozzi and Cauchy.

An archaic unit fraction variously defined as 1/200 (of an hour), 1/10 or 1/12 (of an inch), 1/12 (of a celestial body's angular diameter), or 1/60 (of an hour or degree).

Sea horse valley is a name sometimes given to the portion of the Mandelbrot set centered around -0.75+0.1i.

Searching refers to locating a given element or an element satisfying certain conditions from some (usually ordered or partially ordered) table, list, tree, etc.

A conical surface modeled after the shape of a seashell. One parameterization (left figure) is given by x = 2[1-e^(u/(6pi))]cosucos^2(1/2v) (1) y = ...

secz is the trigonometric function defined by secz = 1/(cosz) (1) = 2/(e^(iz)+e^(-iz)), (2) where cosz is the cosine. The secant is implemented in the Wolfram Language as ...

A secant line, also simply called a secant, is a line passing through two points of a curve. As the two points are brought together (or, more precisely, as one is brought ...
