A refinement X of a cover Y is a cover such that every element x in X is a subset of an element y in Y.

An open connected set is called a region (sometimes also called a domain).

A parameterization of a surface x(u,v) in u and v is regular if the tangent vectors (partialx)/(partialu) and (partialx)/(partialv) are always linearly independent.

Let there be two particularly well-behaved functions F(x) and p_tau(x). If the limit lim_(tau->0)int_(-infty)^inftyp_tau(x)F(x)dx exists, then p_tau(x) is a regular sequence ...

The locus of lines meeting three given skew lines. ("Regulus" is also the name of the brightest star in the constellation Leo.)

Let G be a graph, and suppose each edge of G is independently deleted with fixed probability 0<=p<=1. Then the probability that no connected component of G is disconnected as ...

One out of a set of identical observations in a given experiment under identical conditions.

The residual is the sum of deviations from a best-fit curve of arbitrary form. R=sum[y_i-f(x_i,a_1,...,a_n)]^2. The residual should not be confused with the correlation ...

A shift in phase.

The Rhind papyrus is a famous document from the Egyptian Middle Kingdom that dates to 1650 BC. It was purchased by Henry Rhind in Egypt in 1858, and placed in the British ...
