A solenoidal vector field satisfies del ·B=0 (1) for every vector B, where del ·B is the divergence. If this condition is satisfied, there exists a vector A, known as the ...

A closed three-dimensional figure (which may, according to some terminology conventions, be self-intersecting). Kern and Bland (1948, p. 18) define a solid as any limited ...

The perspectrix X of a pair of paralogic triangles DeltaA_1A_2A_3 and DeltaB_1B_2B_3 bisects the line joining the two orthocenters H_A and H_B (Johnson 1929, p. 259).

Borwein et al. (2004, pp. 4 and 44) term the expression of the integrals I_1 = int_0^1x^xdx (1) = 0.783430510... (2) I_2 = int_0^1(dx)/(x^x) (3) = 1.291285997... (4) (OEIS ...

Sorites paradoxes are a class of paradoxical arguments also known as little-by-little arguments. The name "sorites" derives from the Greek word soros, meaning "pile" or ...

A "curve" (i.e., a continuous map of a one-dimensional interval) into a two-dimensional area (a plane-filling function) or a three-dimensional volume.

The maximal number of regions into which space can be divided by n planes is f(n)=1/6(n^3+5n+6) (Yaglom and Yaglom 1987, pp. 102-106). For n=1, 2, ..., these give the values ...

The number of regions into which space can be divided by n mutually intersecting spheres is N=1/3n(n^2-3n+8), giving 2, 4, 8, 16, 30, 52, 84, ... (OEIS A046127) for n=1, 2, ...

A four-vector a_mu is said to be spacelike if its four-vector norm satisfies a_mua^mu>0. One should note that the four-vector norm is nothing more than a special case of the ...

A sparse matrix is a matrix that allows special techniques to take advantage of the large number of "background" (commonly zero) elements. The number of zeros a matrix needs ...
