In general, an arrangement of objects is simply a grouping of them. The number of "arrangements" of n items is given either by a combination (order is ignored) or permutation ...

A module that fulfils the descending chain condition with respect to inclusion, i.e., if every decreasing sequence of submodules eventually become constant.

Given a group action G×F->F and a principal bundle pi:A->M, the associated fiber bundle on M is pi^~:A×F/G->M. (1) In particular, it is the quotient space A×F/G where ...

A Sheffer sequence for (1,f(t)) is called the associated sequence for f(t), and a sequence s_n(x) of polynomials satisfying the orthogonality conditions ...

The three circular triangles A^'B^'C^', AB^'C^', A^'BC^', and A^'B^'C obtained by extending the arcs of a circular triangle ABC into complete circles.

Three elements x, y and z of a set S are said to be associative under a binary operation * if they satisfy x*(y*z)=(x*y)*z. (1) Real numbers are associative under addition ...

For an algebra A, the associator is the trilinear map A×A×A->A given by (x,y,z)=(xy)z-x(yz). The associator is identically zero iff A is associative.

The asterisk *, also called a "star," is used for a number of different purposed in mathematics. The most common usage is to denote multiplication so, for example, 2*3=2×3=6. ...

In general, the catacaustics of the astroid are complicated curves. For an astroid with parametric equations x = cos^3t (1) y = sin^3t, (2) the catacaustic for a radiant ...

The evolute of the astroid is a hypocycloid evolute for n=4. Surprisingly, it is another astroid scaled by a factor n/(n-2)=4/2=2 and rotated 1/(2·4)=1/8 of a turn. For an ...
