Gabriel's horn, also called Torricelli's trumpet, is the surface of revolution of the function y=1/x about the x-axis for x>=1. It is therefore given by parametric equations ...

A method of determining coefficients alpha_k in a power series solution y(x)=y_0(x)+sum_(k=1)^nalpha_ky_k(x) of the ordinary differential equation L^~[y(x)]=0 so that ...

The Gall orthographic projection is a cylindrical equal-area projection with standard parallel of 45 degrees.

Let I be the incenter of a triangle DeltaABC and U, V, and W be the intersections of the segments IA, IB, IC with the incircle. Also let the centroid G lie inside the ...

A method for numerical solution of a second-order ordinary differential equation y^('')=f(x,y) first expounded by Gauss. It proceeds by introducing a function delta^(-2)f ...

A method for finding a matrix inverse. To apply Gauss-Jordan elimination, operate on a matrix [A I]=[a_(11) ... a_(1n) 1 0 ... 0; a_(21) ... a_(2n) 0 1 ... 0; | ... | | | ... ...

For a positive integer n, (2pi)^((n-1)/2)n^(1/2-nz)Gamma(nz)=product_(k=0)^(n-1)Gamma(z+k/n),

This is sometimes knows as the "bars and stars" method. Suppose a recipe called for 5 pinches of spice, out of 9 spices. Each possibility is an arrangement of 5 spices ...

Let a spherical triangle have sides a, b, and c with A, B, and C the corresponding opposite angles. Then (sin[1/2(a-b)])/(sin(1/2c)) = (sin[1/2(A-B)])/(cos(1/2C)) (1) ...

Gauss's forward formula is f_p=f_0+pdelta_(1/2)+G_2delta_0^2+G_3delta_(1/2)^3+G_4delta_0^4+G_5delta_(1/2)^5+..., (1) for p in [0,1], where delta is the central difference and ...
