A smooth map f:S^1->R^3 whose image has singularities. In particular, in the theory of Vassiliev's knot invariants, singular knots with a finite number of ordinary double ...

A tensor defined in terms of the tensors which satisfy the double contraction relation.

A double point at which two (or more) osculating curves are tangent. The above plot shows the tacnode of the curve 2x^4-3x^2y+y^2-2y^3+y^4=0. The capricornoid and links curve ...

A triple integral is a three-fold multiple integral of the form intintintf(x,y,z)dxdydz. Triple integrals arise in evaluating quantities such as the mass, volume, moment, ...

The initial side of an angle theta drawn in angle standard position is the side lying on the positive x-axis. In general, viewing an angle as the amount of rotation about the ...

The quadratrix was discovered by Hippias of Elias in 430 BC, and later studied by Dinostratus in 350 BC (MacTutor Archive). It can be used for angle trisection or, more ...

Backgammon is a board game played by two players. The backgammon board is divided into four sections of six triangular regions on which pieces may be placed. Brown and white ...

The Barth decic is a decic surface in complex three-dimensional projective space having the maximum possible number of ordinary double points, namely 345. It is given by the ...

A generalization of the factorial and double factorial, n! = n(n-1)(n-2)...2·1 (1) n!! = n(n-2)(n-4)... (2) n!!! = n(n-3)(n-6)..., (3) etc., where the products run through ...

The Gallatly circle is the circle with center at the Brocard midpoint X_(39) and radius R_G = Rsinomega (1) = (abc)/(2sqrt(a^2b^2+a^2c^2+b^2c^2)), (2) where R is the ...
