To color any map on the sphere or the plane requires at most six-colors. This number can easily be reduced to five, and the four-color theorem demonstrates that the necessary ...

Starting with a triangle, draw a circle touching two sides. Then draw a circle tangent to this circle and two other sides. Continue in the same direction. The result is a ...

Let (x_1,x_2) and (y_1,y_2,y_3) be two sets of complex numbers linearly independent over the rationals. Then at least one of ...

A relationship between knot polynomials for links in different orientations (denoted below as L_+, L_0, and L_-). J. H. Conway was the first to realize that the Alexander ...

In algebraic topology, a p-skeleton is a simplicial subcomplex of K that is the collection of all simplices of K of dimension at most p, denoted K^((p)). The graph obtained ...

A long division in which most or all of the digits are replaced by a symbol (usually asterisks) to form a cryptarithmetic.

A skew conic, also known as a gauche conic, space conic, twisted conic, or cubical conic section, is a third-order space curve having up to three points in common with a ...

A skew coordinate system is a system of curvilinear coordinates in which each family of surfaces intersects the others at angles other than right angles. Skew coordinate ...

A diagonal of a square matrix which is traversed in the "northeast" direction. "The" skew diagonal (or "secondary diagonal") of an n×n square matrix is the skew diagonal from ...
