A function f(x) is said to have bounded variation if, over the closed interval x in [a,b], there exists an M such that |f(x_1)-f(a)|+|f(x_2)-f(x_1)|+... +|f(b)-f(x_(n-1))|<=M ...

The midpoint of the first and second Brocard points Omega and Omega^'. It has equivalent triangle center functions alpha = a(b^2+c^2) (1) alpha = sin(A+omega), (2) where ...

The variety which is an invariant of degree four and is given by the equation y_0^4-y_0(y_1^3+y_2^3+y_3^3+y_4^3)+3y_1y_2y_3y_4=0.

Carmichael's conjecture asserts that there are an infinite number of Carmichael numbers. This was proven by Alford et al. (1994).

The curve which is the envelope of reflected (catacaustic) or refracted (diacaustic) rays of a given curve for a light source at a given point (known as the radiant point).

The central difference for a function tabulated at equal intervals f_n is defined by delta(f_n)=delta_n=delta_n^1=f_(n+1/2)-f_(n-1/2). (1) First and higher order central ...

The involute of the circle was first studied by Huygens when he was considering clocks without pendula for use on ships at sea. He used the circle involute in his first ...

The circumsphere of given set of points, commonly the vertices of a solid, is a sphere that passes through all the points. A circumsphere does not always exist, but when it ...

Two matrices A and B which satisfy AB=BA (1) under matrix multiplication are said to be commuting. In general, matrix multiplication is not commutative. Furthermore, in ...

The expected number of trials needed to collect a complete set of n different objects when picked at random with repetition is nH_n (Havil 2003, p. 131). For n=1, 2, ..., the ...
