A transformation that preserves angles and changes all distances in the same ratio, called the ratio of magnification. A similarity can also be defined as a transformation ...

Given a set P with |P|=p elements consisting of c_1 numbers 1, c_2 numbers 2, ..., and c_n numbers n and c_1+c_2+...+c_n=p, find the number of permutations with k-1 rises ...

Given a triangle DeltaABC with inner and outer Soddy centers S and S^', respectively, the inner Soddy triangle DeltaPQR (respectively, outer Soddy triangle DeltaP^'Q^'R^') is ...

A Lie algebra g is solvable when its Lie algebra commutator series, or derived series, g^k vanishes for some k. Any nilpotent Lie algebra is solvable. The basic example is ...

The Steiner triangle DeltaS_AS_BS_C (a term coined here for the first time), is the Cevian triangle of the Steiner point S. It is the polar triangle of the Kiepert parabola. ...

Strang's strange figures are the figures produced by plotting a periodic function f(z) as a function of an integer argument n for n=1, 2, .... Unexpected patterns and ...

Let U(P,Q) and V(P,Q) be Lucas sequences generated by P and Q, and define D=P^2-4Q. (1) Let n be an odd composite number with (n,D)=1, and n-(D/n)=2^sd with d odd and s>=0, ...

In the process of attaching a k-handle to a manifold M, the boundary of M is modified by a process called (k-1)-surgery. Surgery consists of the removal of a tubular ...

An example of a subspace of the Euclidean plane that is connected but not pathwise-connected with respect to the relative topology. It is formed by the ray y=0, x<=0 and the ...

Given a triangle center X=l:m:n, the line mnalpha+nlbeta+lmgamma=0, where alpha:beta:gamma are trilinear coordinates, is called the trilinear polar (Kimberling 1998, p. 38). ...
