An origami configuration that can be pressed to a plane figure without crumpling it or adding new creases.

The intersection Fl of the Gergonne line and the Soddy line. In the above figure, D^', E^', and F^' are the Nobbs points, I is the incenter, Ge is the Gergonne point, and S ...

The Flint Hills series is the series S_1=sum_(n=1)^infty(csc^2n)/(n^3) (Pickover 2002, p. 59). It is not known if this series converges, since csc^2n can have sporadic large ...

Let Q(x) be a real or complex piecewise-continuous function defined for all values of the real variable x and that is periodic with minimum period pi so that Q(x+pi)=Q(x). ...

One of the beautiful arrangements of circles found at the Temple of Osiris at Abydos, Egypt (Rawles 1997). The pattern also appears in Phoenician art from the 9th century BC ...

Also called the Tait flyping conjecture. Given two reduced alternating projections of the same knot, they are equivalent on the sphere iff they are related by a series of ...

A point related to the construction and properties of conic sections. Hyperbolas and noncircular ellipses have two distinct foci and two associated conic section directrices, ...

Let f:R×R->R be a one-parameter family of C^2 map satisfying f(0,0)=0 [(partialf)/(partialx)]_(mu=0,x=0)=0 [(partial^2f)/(partialx^2)]_(mu=0,x=0)>0 ...

A folding function is a function that maps the integers Z={...,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,...} onto the nonnegative integers Z^*={0,1,2,3,...}. This type of function arises naturally ...

Let M^n be an n-manifold and let F={F_alpha} denote a partition of M^n into disjoint pathwise-connected subsets. Then F is called a foliation of M^n of codimension c (with ...
