The convexity coefficient chi(D) of a region D is the probability that the line segment connecting two random points in D is contained entirely within D. For a convex region, ...

Let a, b, and c be the side lengths of a reference triangle DeltaABC. Now let A_b be a point on the extension of the segment CA beyond A such that AA_b=a. Similarly, define ...

There are a number of graphs associated with J. H. Conway. The first is the unique rank-3 strongly regular graph with parameters (nu,k,lambda,mu)=(1408,567,246,216) with ...

A notation for polyhedra which begins by specifying a "seed" polyhedron using a capital letter. The Platonic solids are denoted T (tetrahedron), O (octahedron), C (cube), I ...

The Conway polynomial del _L(x), sometimes known as the Conway-Alexander polynomial, is a modified version of the Alexander polynomial Delta_L(x) that was formulated by J. H. ...

Conway triangle notation defines S=2Delta (1) where Delta is the area of a reference triangle, and S_phi=Scotphi. (2) This gives the special cases S_A = 1/2(-a^2+b^2+c^2) (3) ...

A concise notation based on the concept of the tangle used by Conway (1967) to enumerate prime knots up to 11 crossings. An algebraic knot containing no negative signs in its ...

A coordinate chart is a way of expressing the points of a small neighborhood, usually on a manifold M, as coordinates in Euclidean space. An example from geography is the ...

A system for specifying points using coordinates measured in some specified way. The simplest coordinate system consists of coordinate axes oriented perpendicularly to each ...

A set of n variables which fix a geometric object. If the coordinates are distances measured along perpendicular axes, they are known as Cartesian coordinates. The study of ...
