A plot of a function expressed in spherical coordinates, with radius r as a function of angles theta and phi. Polar plots can be drawn using SphericalPlot3D[r, {phi, phimin, ...

A spheroidal harmonic is a special case of an ellipsoidal harmonic that satisfies the differential equation d/(dx)[(1-x^2)(dS)/(dx)]+(lambda-c^2x^2-(m^2)/(1-x^2))S=0 on the ...

A figurate number of the form P_n^((4))=1/6n(n+1)(2n+1), (1) corresponding to a configuration of points which form a square pyramid, is called a square pyramidal number (or ...

A number taken to the power 2 is said to be squared, so x^2 is called "x squared." This terminology derives from the fact that the area of a square of edge length x is given ...

The stirrup curve is the quartic curve given by the equation (x^2-1)^2=y^2(y-1)(y-2)(y+5).

A subspace A of X is called a strong deformation retract of X if there is a homotopy F:X×I->X (called a retract) such that for all x in X, a in A, and t in I, 1. F(x,0)=x, 2. ...

The number of real roots of an algebraic equation with real coefficients whose real roots are simple over an interval, the endpoints of which are not roots, is equal to the ...

A superellipse is a curve with Cartesian equation |x/a|^r+|y/b|^r=1, (1) first discussed in 1818 by Lamé. A superellipse may be described parametrically by x = acos^(2/r)t ...

Let (x_0,y_0) be any point of a surface function z=f(x,y). Then the surface has a nonvertical tangent plane at (x_0,y_0) with equation ...

A quartic surface given by the implicit equation x^4-5x^2+y^4-5y^2+z^4-5z^2+11.8=0.
