An expression that is of a given type. For example, all primes p>3 are "of the form" 6n+/-1. The term "of shape" is sometimes also used.

Any continuous cumulative frequency curve, such as the one illustrated above in the right figure.

A linear real-valued function omega^1 of vectors v such that omega^1(v)|->R. Vectors (i.e., contravariant vectors or "kets" |psi>) and one-forms (i.e., covariant vectors or ...

Except for convex polygons, every simple polygon has at least one mouth.

Let lambda_(m,n) be Chebyshev constants. Schönhage (1973) proved that lim_(n->infty)(lambda_(0,n))^(1/n)=1/3. (1) It was conjectured that the number ...

A topological space X has a one-point compactification if and only if it is locally compact. To see a part of this, assume Y is compact, y in Y, X=Y\{y} and x in X. Let C be ...

A map is called "one-to-one" (or "1:1") if it is injective. However, being in "one-to-one correspondence" is synonymous with being a bijection. Unfortunately, this confusing ...

"A and B are in one-to-one correspondence" is synonymous with "A and B are bijective."

An n-dimensional open ball of radius r is the collection of points of distance less than r from a fixed point in Euclidean n-space. Explicitly, the open ball with center x ...

A collection of open sets of a topological space whose union contains a given subset. For example, an open cover of the real line, with respect to the Euclidean topology, is ...
