For a unit speed curve on a surface, the length of the surface-tangential component of acceleration is the geodesic curvature kappa_g. Curves with kappa_g=0 are called ...

One billion (10^9) bytes. Unfortunately, the term is sometimes also used to mean 2^(30)=1024^3=1073741824 bytes. However, this usage is deprecated, and the term gibibyte is ...

The Goffinet dragon is the fractal obtained by plotting all points spanned by powers of the complex number p=0.65-0.3i (Trott 2004, p. 9).

Let f_1(x), ..., f_n(x) be real integrable functions over the closed interval [a,b], then the determinant of their integrals satisfies

An arc of a graph, sometimes also called a flag, is an ordered pair of adjacent vertices (Godsil and Royle 2001, p. 59), sometimes also called a directed line (Harary 1994, ...

The difference H_2-H_1, where H_1 and H_2 are hinges. It is the same as the interquartile range for N=5, 9, 13, ... points.

The havercosine, also called the haversed cosine, is a little-used trigonometric function defined by havercosz = vercosz (1) = 1/2(1+cosz), (2) where vercosz is the vercosine ...

A Heegaard splitting of a connected orientable 3-manifold M is any way of expressing M as the union of two (3,1)-handlebodies along their boundaries. The boundary of such a ...

The representation of a number as a sum of powers of a base b, followed by expression of each of the exponents as a sum of powers of b, etc., until the process stops. For ...

A Hilbert basis for the vector space of square summable sequences (a_n)=a_1, a_2, ... is given by the standard basis e_i, where e_i=delta_(in), with delta_(in) the Kronecker ...
