The Lebombo bone is the oldest known mathematical artifact. It dates from 35000 BC and consists of 29 distinct notches that were deliberately cut into a baboon's fibula. It ...

A formula which counts the number of fixed points for a topological transformation.

A three-dimensional coordinate system in which the axes do not satisfy the right-hand rule.

A left eigenvector is defined as a row vector X_L satisfying X_LA=lambda_LX_L. In many common applications, only right eigenvectors (and not left eigenvectors) need be ...

A leg of a triangle is one of its sides. For a right triangle, the term "leg" generally refers to a side other than the one opposite the right angle (which is termed the ...

Any of the three standard forms in which an elliptic integral can be expressed.

Given a function of two variables df = (partialf)/(partialx)dx+(partialf)/(partialy)dy (1) = udx+vdy, (2) change the differentials from dx and dy to du and dy with the ...

The Lehmer mean of a set of n numbers {a_k}_(k=1)^n is defined by L_p(a_1,...,a_n)=(sum_(k=1)^(n)a_k^p)/(sum_(k=1)^(n)a_k^(p-1)) (Havil 2003, p. 121).
