Let A and B be any sets, and let |X| be the cardinal number of a set X. Then cardinal exponentiation is defined by |A|^(|B|)=|set of all functions from B into A| (Ciesielski ...

Let A and B be any sets. Then the product of |A| and |B| is defined as the Cartesian product |A|*|B|=|A×B| (Ciesielski 1997, p. 68; Dauben 1990, p. 173; Moore 1982, p. 37; ...

Conformal latitude is defined by chi = 2tan^(-1){tan(1/4pi+1/2phi)[(1-esinphi)/(1+esinphi)]^(e/2)}-1/2pi (1) = ...

A map projection which is a conformal mapping, i.e., one for which local (infinitesimal) angles on a sphere are mapped to the same angles in the projection. On maps of an ...

The map projection having transformation equations x = (lambda-lambda_0)cosphi_1 (1) y = phi, (2) and the inverse formulas are phi = y (3) lambda = lambda_0+xsecphi_1, (4) ...

A set is denumerable iff it is equipollent to the finite ordinal numbers. (Moore 1982, p. 6; Rubin 1967, p. 107; Suppes 1972, pp. 151-152). However, Ciesielski (1997, p. 64) ...

A developable surface, also called a flat surface (Gray et al. 2006, p. 437), is a ruled surface having Gaussian curvature K=0 everywhere. Developable surfaces therefore ...

A proving technique in homological algebra which consists in looking for equivalent map compositions in commutative diagrams, and in exploiting the properties of injective, ...

Any lemma on commutative diagrams. It can give relations between maps (as in the five lemma) or tell how to construct new diagrams from old ones (as in the snake lemma).

A map projection in which areas on a sphere, and the areas of any features contained on it, are mapped to the plane in such a way that two are related by a constant scaling ...
