A curve also known as swan-like curve or streamline. It is given by the polar equation r=atheta+b, where a>0.

Let V be a complete normal variety, and write G(V) for the group of divisors, G_n(V) for the group of divisors numerically equal to 0, and G_a(V) the group of divisors ...

where del is the backward difference.

Let a triangle have side lengths a, b, and c with opposite angles A, B, and C. Then (b+c)/a = (cos[1/2(B-C)])/(sin(1/2A)) (1) (c+a)/b = (cos[1/2(C-A)])/(sin(1/2B)) (2) ...

The nth cubic number n^3 is a sum of n consecutive odd numbers, for example 1^3 = 1 (1) 2^3 = 3+5 (2) 3^3 = 7+9+11 (3) 4^3 = 13+15+17+19, (4) etc. This identity follows from ...

A geometry in which Archimedes' axiom does not hold.

A ruled surface parameterization x(u,v)=b(u)+vg(u) is called noncylindrical if gxg^' is nowhere 0. A noncylindrical ruled surface always has a parameterization of the form ...

A function f(x) is said to be nondecreasing on an interval I if f(b)>=f(a) for all b>a, where a,b in I. Conversely, a function f(x) is said to be nonincreasing on an interval ...

A function f(x) is said to be nonincreasing on an interval I if f(b)<=f(a) for all b>a, where a,b in I. Conversely, a function f(x) is said to be nondecreasing on an interval ...

A nonregular number, also called an infinite decimal (Havil 2003, p. 25), is a positive number that has an infinite decimal expansion. In contrast, a number that has a finite ...
