A circular cone the centers of whose sections form a line perpendicular to the bases. When used without qualification, the term "cone" often refers to a right circular cone.

A proof or demonstration is said to be rigorous if the validity of each step and the connections between the steps is explicitly made clear in such a way that the result ...

An estimation technique which is insensitive to small departures from the idealized assumptions which have been used to optimize the algorithm. Classes of such techniques ...

The Schwarzian derivative is defined by D_(Schwarzian)=(f^(''')(x))/(f^'(x))-3/2[(f^('')(x))/(f^'(x))]^2. The Feigenbaum constant is universal for one-dimensional maps if its ...

D = f_(xx)f_(yy)-f_(xy)f_(yx) (1) = f_(xx)f_(yy)-f_(xy)^2, (2) where f_(ij) are partial derivatives.

The recurrence relation E_n=E_2E_(n-1)+E_3E_(n-2)+...+E_(n-1)E_2 which gives the solution to Euler's polygon division problem.

If a line L is the Simson line of a point P on the circumcircle of a triangle, then P is called the pole of L (Honsberger 1995, p. 128).

A function possessing a single period in the complex plane is said to be singly periodic, of often simply periodic. Singly periodic functions include the trigonometric ...

The inverse curve of a sinusoidal spiral r=a^(1/n)[cos(nt)]^(1/n) with inversion center at the origin and inversion radius k is another sinusoidal spiral ...

Consider (1) If the probability distribution is governed by a Markov process, then P_3(y_1,t_1;y_2,t_2|y_3,t_3) = P_2(y_2,t_2|y_3,t_3) (2) = P_2(y_2|y_3,t_3-t_2). (3) ...
