A class of subvarieties of the Grassmannian G(n,m,K). Given m integers 1<=a_1<...<a_m<=n, the Schubert variety Omega(a_1,...,a_m) is the set of points of G(n,m,K) ...

A conformal mapping from the upper half-plane to a polygon.

The Schwarz triangles are spherical triangles which, by repeated reflection in their indices, lead to a set of congruent spherical triangles covering the sphere a finite ...

A periodic minimal surface constructed by Schwarz using the following two principles: 1. If part of the boundary of a minimal surface is a straight line, then the reflection ...

A polyhedron constructed by ruling 2n equally spaced vertical lines along the surface of a cylinder together with 2n^3 circles around the cylinder at equally spaced heights. ...

Scientific notation is the expression of a number n in the form a×10^p, where p=|_log_(10)|n|_| (1) is the floor of the base-10 logarithm of n (the "order of magnitude"), and ...

Sea horse valley is a name sometimes given to the portion of the Mandelbrot set centered around -0.75+0.1i.

A conical surface modeled after the shape of a seashell. One parameterization (left figure) is given by x = 2[1-e^(u/(6pi))]cosucos^2(1/2v) (1) y = ...

A root-finding algorithm which assumes a function to be approximately linear in the region of interest. Each improvement is taken as the point where the approximating line ...

The secant numbers S_k, also called the zig numbers or the Euler numbers E_n^*=|E_(2n)| numbers than can be defined either in terms of a generating function given as the ...
