Synthetic division is a shortcut method for dividing two polynomials which can be used in place of the standard long division algorithm. This method reduces the dividend and ...

One of a set of numbers defined in terms of an invariant generated by the finite cyclic covering spaces of a knot complement. The torsion numbers for knots up to 9 crossings ...

A function which is not an algebraic function. In other words, a function which "transcends," i.e., cannot be expressed in terms of, algebra. Examples of transcendental ...

cos(pi/(32)) = 1/2sqrt(2+sqrt(2+sqrt(2+sqrt(2)))) (1) cos((3pi)/(32)) = 1/2sqrt(2+sqrt(2+sqrt(2-sqrt(2)))) (2) cos((5pi)/(32)) = 1/2sqrt(2+sqrt(2-sqrt(2-sqrt(2)))) (3) ...

An error in a statistical test which occurs when a false hypothesis is accepted (a false positive in terms of the null hypothesis).

An error in a statistical test which occurs when a true hypothesis is rejected (a false negative in terms of the null hypothesis).

In general, there is no unique matrix solution A to the matrix equation y=Ax. Even in the case of y parallel to x, there are still multiple matrices that perform this ...

v=(dr)/(dt), (1) where r is the radius vector and d/dt is the derivative with respect to time. Expressed in terms of the arc length, v=(ds)/(dt)T^^, (2) where T^^ is the unit ...

If at least one of d, e, or f has the form q^(-N) for some nonnegative integer N (in which case both sums terminate after N+1 terms), then ...

A sequence of numbers V={nu_n} is said to be weakly complete if every positive integer n beyond a certain point N is the sum of some subsequence of V (Honsberger 1985). ...
