The kissing number of a sphere is 12. This led Fejes Tóth (1943) to conjecture that in any unit sphere packing, the volume of any Voronoi cell around any sphere is at least ...

The domino is the unique free (and one-sided) 2-polyomino consisting of two equal squares connected along a complete polygon edge. There are two fixed dominoes.

A double factorial prime is a prime number of the form n!!+/-1, where n!! is a double factorial. n!!-1 is prime for n=3, 4, 6, 8, 16, 26, 64, 82, 90, 118, 194, 214, 728, ... ...

Based on a problem in particle physics, Dyson (1962abc) conjectured that the constant term in the Laurent series product_(1<=i!=j<=n)(1-(x_i)/(x_j))^(a_i) is the multinomial ...

If q_n is the nth prime such that M_(q_n) is a Mersenne prime, then q_n∼(3/2)^n. It was modified by Wagstaff (1983) to yield Wagstaff's conjecture, q_n∼(2^(e^(-gamma)))^n, ...

The functions E_1(x) = (x^2e^x)/((e^x-1)^2) (1) E_2(x) = x/(e^x-1) (2) E_3(x) = ln(1-e^(-x)) (3) E_4(x) = x/(e^x-1)-ln(1-e^(-x)). (4) E_1(x) has an inflection point at (5) ...

Let 0<k^2<1. The incomplete elliptic integral of the third kind is then defined as Pi(n;phi,k) = int_0^phi(dtheta)/((1-nsin^2theta)sqrt(1-k^2sin^2theta)) (1) = ...

The E_n(x) function is defined by the integral E_n(x)=int_1^infty(e^(-xt)dt)/(t^n) (1) and is given by the Wolfram Language function ExpIntegralE[n, x]. Defining t=eta^(-1) ...

Endraß surfaces are a pair of octic surfaces which have 168 ordinary double points. This is the maximum number known to exist for an octic surface, although the rigorous ...

A version of the liar's paradox, attributed to the philosopher Epimenides in the sixth century BC. "All Cretans are liars... One of their own poets has said so." This is not ...
