A product of a reflection in a line and translation along the same line.

A global extremum, also known as an absolute extremum, is a global minimum or global maximum. It is impossible to construct an algorithm that will find a global extremum for ...

A global maximum, also known as an absolute maximum, the largest overall value of a set, function, etc., over its entire range. It is impossible to construct an algorithm ...

A glome is a 4-sphere (in the geometer's sense of the word) x^2+y^2+z^2+w^2=r^2 (as opposed to the usual 3-sphere). The term derives from the Latin "glomus" meaning "ball of ...

The Goh-Schmutz constant is defined by the integrals C = int_0^infty(ln(1+t))/(e^t-1)dt (1) = int_0^inftyln[1-ln(1-e^(-t))]dt (2) = ...

The golden ratio conjugate, also called the silver ratio, is the quantity Phi = 1/phi (1) = phi-1 (2) = 2/(1+sqrt(5)) (3) = (sqrt(5)-1)/2 (4) = 0.6180339887... (5) (OEIS ...

The mathematical golden rule states that, for any fraction, both numerator and denominator may be multiplied by the same number without changing the fraction's value.

The discontinuous solution of the surface of revolution area minimization problem for surfaces connecting two circles. When the circles are sufficiently far apart, the usual ...

G = int_0^infty(e^(-u))/(1+u)du (1) = -eEi(-1) (2) = 0.596347362... (3) (OEIS A073003), where Ei(x) is the exponential integral. Stieltjes showed it has the continued ...
