Define g(k) as the quantity appearing in Waring's problem, then Euler conjectured that g(k)=2^k+|_(3/2)^k_|-2, where |_x_| is the floor function.

A 1-form w is said to be exact in a region R if there is a function f that is defined and of class C^1 (i.e., is once continuously differentiable in R) and such that df=w.

rho_(n+1)(x)=intrho_n(y)delta[x-M(y)]dy, where delta(x) is a delta function, M(x) is a map, and rho is the natural invariant.

A function between categories which maps objects to objects and morphisms to morphisms. Functors exist in both covariant and contravariant types.

The abscissas of the N-point Gaussian quadrature formula are precisely the roots of the orthogonal polynomial for the same interval and weighting function.

The greatest dividing exponent gde(n,b) of a base b with respect to a number n is the largest integer value of k such that b^k|n, where b^k<=n. It is implemented as the ...

If an analytic function has a single simple pole at the radius of convergence of its power series, then the ratio of the coefficients of its power series converges to that ...

A linear approximation to a function f(x) at a point x_0 can be computed by taking the first term in the Taylor series f(x_0+Deltax)=f(x_0)+f^'(x_0)Deltax+....

int_0^inftye^(-ax)J_0(bx)dx=1/(sqrt(a^2+b^2)), where J_0(z) is the zeroth order Bessel function of the first kind.

Let f be a nonnegative and continuous function on the closed interval [a,b], then the solid of revolution obtained by rotating the curve f(x) about the x-axis from x=a to x=b ...
