Maximize the amount of floor space which can be covered with a fixed tile (Hoffman 1998, p. 173).

Due to Lebesgue and Brouwer. If an n-dimensional figure is covered in any way by sufficiently small subregions, then there will exist points which belong to at least n+1 of ...

The ordinary differential equation y^('')+(lambda-x^(2n))y=0.

The Tixier point X_(476) is the reflection of the focus of the Kiepert parabola (X_(110)) in the Euler line. It has equivalent trilinear center functions X_(476) = ...

The quartic surface given by the equation x^4+y^4+z^4-(x^2+y^2+z^2)=0.

In an exterior algebra ^ V, a top-dimensional form has degree n where n=dimV. Any form of higher degree must be zero. For example, if V=R^4 then alpha=e_1 ^ e_2 ^ e_3 ^ e_4 ...

A topological basis is a subset B of a set T in which all other open sets can be written as unions or finite intersections of B. For the real numbers, the set of all open ...

The closure of a set A is the smallest closed set containing A. Closed sets are closed under arbitrary intersection, so it is also the intersection of all closed sets ...

The topological completion C of a field F with respect to the absolute value |·| is the smallest field containing F for which all Cauchy sequences or rationals converge.

The topological entropy of a map M is defined as h_T(M)=sup_({W_i})h(M,{W_i}), where {W_i} is a partition of a bounded region W containing a probability measure which is ...
