A dihedron is a regular tiling or map on a sphere composed of two regular p-gons, each occupying a hemisphere and with edge lengths of 2pi/p on a unit sphere. Its Schläfli ...

Informally, a situation in which a decision must be made from several alternatives, none of which is obviously the optimal one. In formal logic, a dilemma is a specific type ...

One of the Eilenberg-Steenrod axioms. Let X be a single point space. H_n(X)=0 unless n=0, in which case H_0(X)=G where G are some groups. The H_0 are called the coefficients ...

R^n is homeomorphic to R^m iff n=m. This theorem was first proved by Brouwer.

A diminished polyhedron is a polyhedron in which one or more groups of associated faces (such as those comprising the top of a pyramid or cupola in the case of a Johnson ...

An expansion based on the roots of x^(-n)[xJ_n^'(x)+HJ_n(x)]=0, where J_n(x) is a Bessel function of the first kind, is called a Dini expansion.

A notation invented by Dirac which is very useful in quantum mechanics. The notation defines the "ket" vector, denoted |psi>, and its conjugate transpose, called the "bra" ...

If (f,U) and (g,V) are functions elements, then (g,V) is a direct analytic continuation of (f,U) if U intersection V!=emptyset and f and g are equal on U intersection V.

The symbol ∡ABC denotes the directed angle from AB to BC, which is the signed angle through which AB must be rotated about B to coincide with BC. Four points ABCD lie on a ...

The direction from an object A to another object B can be specified as a vector v=AB^-> with tail at A and head at B. However, since this vector has length equal to the ...
