If M is continuous and int_a^bM(x)h(x)dx=0 for all infinitely differentiable h(x), then M(x)=0 on the open interval (a,b).

The series sum_(k=1)^inftykr^k=sum_(k=1)^inftysum_(i=k)^inftyr^i=r/((1-r)^2), valid for 0<r<1.

A mathematical object invented to solve irreducible congruences of the form F(x)=0 (mod p), where p is prime.

For n players, n-1 games are needed to fairly determine first place, and n-1+lg(n-1) are needed to fairly determine first and second place.

A gamma distribution is a general type of statistical distribution that is related to the beta distribution and arises naturally in processes for which the waiting times ...
