Given a point P, the point P^' which is the antipodal point of P is said to be the antipode of P. The term antipode is also used in plane geometry. Given a central conic (or ...

An antisymmetric matrix, also known as a skew-symmetric or antimetric matrix, is a square matrix that satisfies the identity A=-A^(T) (1) where A^(T) is the matrix transpose. ...

Any square matrix A can be written as a sum A=A_S+A_A, (1) where A_S=1/2(A+A^(T)) (2) is a symmetric matrix known as the symmetric part of A and A_A=1/2(A-A^(T)) (3) is an ...

An antisymmetric (also called alternating) tensor is a tensor which changes sign when two indices are switched. For example, a tensor A^(x_1,...,x_n) such that ...

A topological two-sphere in three-space whose exterior is not simply connected. The outer complement of Antoine's horned sphere is not simply connected. Furthermore, the ...

An aperiodic monotile, also somewhat humorously known as an einstein (where "einstein" means "one stone", perhaps generalizable to "one tile," in German), is a single tile ...

An aperiodic tiling is a non-periodic tiling in which arbitrarily large periodic patches do not occur. A set of tiles is said to be aperiodic if they can form only ...

E. Pegg Jr. (pers. comm., Nov. 8, 2004) found an approximation to Apéry's constant zeta(3) given by zeta(3) approx 10+zeta(16)-sqrt(96), (1) which is good to 6 digits. M. ...

The continued fraction for Apéry's constant zeta(3) is [1; 4, 1, 18, 1, 1, 1, 4, 1, ...] (OEIS A013631). The positions at which the numbers 1, 2, ... occur in the continued ...

A number having 666 digits (where 666 is the beast number) is called an apocalypse number. The Fibonacci number F_(3184) is the smallest Fibonacci apocalypse number (Livio ...
