A finite, increasing sequence of integers {a_1,...,a_m} such that (a_i-1)|(a_1...a_(m-1)) for i=1, ..., m, where m|n indicates that m divides n. A Carmichael sequence has ...

If a and n are relatively prime so that the greatest common divisor GCD(a,n)=1, then a^(lambda(n))=1 (mod n), where lambda is the Carmichael function.

The operating of shifting the leading digits of an addition into the next column to the left when the sum of that column exceeds a single digit (i.e., 9 in base 10).

The relationship Sq^i(x cup y)=Sigma_(j+k=i)Sq^j(x) cup Sq^k(y) encountered in the definition of the steenrod algebra.

A Cartesian curve is a curve specified in Cartesian coordinates. The term "Cartesian curve" is sometimes also used to refer to the Cartesian ovals.

The use of coordinates (such as Cartesian coordinates) in the study of geometry. Cartesian geometry is named after René Descartes (Bell 1986, p. 48), although Descartes may ...

An operator Gamma=sum_(i=1)^me_i^Ru^(iR) on a representation R of a Lie algebra.

The Casoratian of sequences x_n^((1)), x_n^((2)), ..., x_n^((k)) is defined by the k×k determinant C(x_n^((1)),x_n^((2)),...,x_n^((k))) =|x_n^((1)) x_n^((2)) ... x_n^((k)); ...

A map projection defined by x = sin^(-1)[cosphisin(lambda-lambda_0)] (1) y = tan^(-1)[(tanphi)/(cos(lambda-lambda_0))]. (2) The inverse formulas are phi = sin^(-1)(sinDcosx) ...

The conjecture proposed by Catalan in 1888 and extended by E. Dickson that each aliquot sequence ends in a prime, a perfect number, or a set of sociable numbers. The ...
