The application of characteristic p methods in commutative algebra, which is a synthesis of some areas of commutative algebra and algebraic geometry.

Maximize the amount of floor space which can be covered with a fixed tile (Hoffman 1998, p. 173).

The operation of multiplication, i.e., a times b. Various notations are a×b, a·b, a*b, ab, and (a)(b). The "multiplication sign" × is based on Saint Andrew's cross (Bergamini ...

A strategy for the iterated prisoner's dilemma in which a prisoner cooperates on the first move, and thereafter copies the previous move of the other prisoner. Any better ...

The ordinary differential equation y^('')+(lambda-x^(2n))y=0.

The Tixier point X_(476) is the reflection of the focus of the Kiepert parabola (X_(110)) in the Euler line. It has equivalent trilinear center functions X_(476) = ...

The quartic surface given by the equation x^4+y^4+z^4-(x^2+y^2+z^2)=0.

In an exterior algebra ^ V, a top-dimensional form has degree n where n=dimV. Any form of higher degree must be zero. For example, if V=R^4 then alpha=e_1 ^ e_2 ^ e_3 ^ e_4 ...

A topological basis is a subset B of a set T in which all other open sets can be written as unions or finite intersections of B. For the real numbers, the set of all open ...

The closure of a set A is the smallest closed set containing A. Closed sets are closed under arbitrary intersection, so it is also the intersection of all closed sets ...
