The south pole is the point on a sphere with minimum z-coordinate for a given coordinate system. For a rotating sphere like the Earth, the natural coordinate system is ...

The space join of a topological space X and a point P, C(X)=X*P.

Let X and Y be topological spaces. Then their join is the factor space X*Y=(X×Y×I)/∼, (1) where ∼ is the equivalence relation (x,y,t)∼(x^',y^',t^')<=>{t=t^'=0 and x=x^'; or ; ...

A nickname for the one-sheeted hyperboloid due to Samuel (1988, p. 95).

Sparklines are word-like graphics that have an intensity of visual distinctions comparable to words or letters (Tufte 2006, p. 4).

An affine transformation that preserves area.

A Jordan algebra which is isomorphic to a subalgebra.

An integer matrix whose entries satisfy a_(ij)={0 if j>i+1; -1 if j=i+1; 0 or 1 if j<=i. (1) There are 2^(n-1) special minimal matrices of size n×n.

A point which does not lie on at least one ordinary line.

If the difference between the order and the dimension of a series is less than the curve genus, then the series is special.
