A bilinear functional phi on a normed space E is called coercive (or sometimes elliptic) if there exists a positive constant K such that phi(x,x)>=K||x||^2 for all x in E.

If S is an infinite set, then the collection F_S={A subset= S:S-A is finite} is a filter called the cofinite (or Fréchet) filter on S.

Cohomology is an invariant of a topological space, formally "dual" to homology, and so it detects "holes" in a space. Cohomology has more algebraic structure than homology, ...

Cohomotopy groups are similar to homotopy groups. A cohomotopy group is a group related to the homotopy classes of maps from a space X into a sphere S^n.

A flat disk that acts as a two-sided die.

Two lines or plane congruent geometric figures which lie on top of each other are said to be coincident.

An abbreviation for the cokernel.

The cokernel of a group homomorphism f:A-->B of Abelian groups (modules, or abstract vector spaces) is the quotient group (quotient module or quotient space, respectively) ...

The polar angle on a sphere measured from the north pole instead of the equator. The angle phi in spherical coordinates is the colatitude. It is related to the latitude delta ...

The collapsoids are a class of non-convex collapsible polyhedra. They can be constructed by replacing each edge of a dodecahedron or icosahedron by the diagonal of a pyramid ...
