The word "median" has several different meanings in mathematics all related to the "middle" of mathematical objects. The statistical median is an order statistic that gives ...

For x>0, J_0(x) = 2/piint_0^inftysin(xcosht)dt (1) Y_0(x) = -2/piint_0^inftycos(xcosht)dt, (2) where J_0(x) is a zeroth order Bessel function of the first kind and Y_0(x) is ...

(1) where H_n(x) is a Hermite polynomial (Watson 1933; Erdélyi 1938; Szegö 1975, p. 380). The generating function ...

Meißner (1911) showed how to modify the Reuleaux tetrahedron (which is not a solid of constant width) to form a surface of constant width by replacing three of its edge arcs ...

Polynomials m_k(x;beta,c) which form the Sheffer sequence for g(t) = ((1-c)/(1-ce^t))^beta (1) f(t) = (1-e^t)/(c^(-1)-e^t) (2) and have generating function ...

A variable x is memoryless with respect to t if, for all s with t!=0, P(x>s+t|x>t)=P(x>s). (1) Equivalently, (P(x>s+t,x>t))/(P(x>t)) = P(x>s) (2) P(x>s+t) = P(x>s)P(x>t). (3) ...

For triangles in the plane, AD·BE·CF=BD·CE·AF. (1) For spherical triangles, sinAD·sinBE·sinCF=sinBD·sinCE·sinAF. (2) This can be generalized to n-gons P=[V_1,...,V_n], where ...

The Mercator series, also called the Newton-Mercator series (Havil 2003, p. 33), is the Taylor series for the natural logarithm ln(1+x) = sum_(k=1)^(infty)((-1)^(k+1))/kx^k ...

A merit function, also known as a figure-of-merit function, is a function that measures the agreement between data and the fitting model for a particular choice of the ...

A meromorphic function is a single-valued function that is analytic in all but possibly a discrete subset of its domain, and at those singularities it must go to infinity ...
