Cut a sphere by a plane in such a way that the volumes of the spherical segments have a given ratio.

An alternative term for a binomial coefficient, in which (n; k) is read as "n choose k." R. K. Guy suggested this pronunciation around 1950, when the notations ^nC_r and ...

A closed interval is an interval that includes all of its limit points. If the endpoints of the interval are finite numbers a and b, then the interval {x:a<=x<=b} is denoted ...

Two nonsuperimposable objects which are mirror images of each other are called enantiomers. The term enantiomer is synonymous with enantiomorph. For example, the letters b ...

The hemisphere function is defined as H(x,y)={sqrt(a-x^2-y^2) for sqrt(x^2+y^2)<=a; 0 for sqrt(x^2+y^2)>a. (1) Watson (1966) defines a hemispherical function as a function S ...

Let a chess piece make a tour on an n×n chessboard whose squares are numbered from 1 to n^2 along the path of the chess piece. Then the tour is called a magic tour if the ...

The generalization of the Schönflies theorem to n dimensions. A smoothly embedded n-hypersphere in an (n+1)-hypersphere separates the (n+1)-hypersphere into two components, ...

A set-like object in which order is ignored, but multiplicity is explicitly significant. Therefore, multisets {1,2,3} and {2,1,3} are equivalent, but {1,1,2,3} and {1,2,3} ...

An object is reflexible if it is superposable with its image in a plane mirror. Also called amphichiral.

If J is a simple closed curve in R^2, the closure of one of the components of R^2-J is homeomorphic with the unit 2-ball. This theorem may be proved using the Riemann mapping ...
