For a semicubical parabola with parametric equations x = t^2 (1) y = at^3, (2) the involute is given by x_i = (t^2)/3-8/(27a^2) (3) y_i = -(4t)/(9a), (4) which is half a ...

A fractional derivative of order 1/2. The semiderivative of t^lambda is given by D^(1/2)t^lambda=(t^(lambda-1/2)Gamma(lambda+1))/(Gamma(lambda+1/2)), so the semiderivative of ...

The semimajor axis (also called the major semi-axis, major semiaxis, or major radius) of an ellipse (or related figure) is half its extent along the longer of the two ...

The semiminor axis (also called the minor semi-axis, minor semiaxis, or minor radius) of an ellipse (or related figure) is half its extent along the shorter of the two ...

A seminorm is a function on a vector space V, denoted ||v||, such that the following conditions hold for all v and w in V, and any scalar c. 1. ||v||>=0, 2. ||cv||=|c|||v||, ...

An algebra with no nontrivial nilpotent ideals. In the 1890s, Cartan, Frobenius, and Molien independently proved that any finite-dimensional semisimple algebra over the real ...

An expression which is a sentence or which contains variables and becomes a sentence upon appropriate substitutions for these variables (Carnap 1958, p. 24). Sentential ...

A sentential variable, also called a propositional variable, that can be substituted for in arbitrary sentential formulas (Carnap 1958, p. 24).

A topological space having a countable dense subset. An example is the Euclidean space R^n with the Euclidean topology, since it has the rational lattice Q^n as a countable ...

Two distinct point pairs AC and BD separate each other if A, B, C, and D lie on a circle (or line) in such order that either of the arcs (or the line segment AC) contains one ...
