"1-1-square root 2" and "1-2-square root 3" represent the special versions of this shape.
What are triangles?
Ellipses have major and minor versions of this.
What is an axis?
This is the value of i.
What is the square root of -1?
This French mathematician is known for a special triangle and a wager to ask whether God exists.
Who is Blaise Pascal?
This mathematical tool is represented by an exclamation mark, and is calculated by multiplying all the numbers from any number down to 1.
What is a factorial?
This number is equal to 0 factorial, tan(45o), and sin2(x)+cos2(x).
What is 1?
(x2/a2) - (y2/b2) = 1 is the formula for this conic, known by its "double C" shape.
What is a hyperbola?
This is the number of degrees between a normal vector and the line or plane that it is associated with.
What is 90?
This Greek mathematician was the librarian of Alexandria, had a "sieve" for finding prime numbers, and accurately measured the circumference of the Earth.
Who is Eratosthenes?
This mathematical tool was invented by John Napier to solve for x when x is an exponent.
What is a logarithm?
This is the number of radians equivalent to 180 degrees.
What is pi?
This is the derivative of ex.
What is ex (or itself) ?
This is the dot product of (1,0,-2) and (2,5,1).
What is 0?
This Indian mathematician invented the concept of zero.
Who is Brahmagupta?
This sum is created by adding all the terms in a sequence, in which every term is created by multiplying by the same number.
What is a geometric series?
This four-letter word is the acronym that tells you where trigonometric functions are positive or negative.
What is CAST?
Part 1 of this theorem deals with antiderivatives (indefinite integrals), while Part 2 of this theorem deals with definite integrals.
What is the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus?
This is the term for the "distance" between a complex number and the origin.
What is the modulus?
This Swiss mathematician showed that the Seven Bridges of Konigsberg problem was unsolvable, and created an identity with lots of special numbers.
Who is Leonhard Euler?
This identity contains e, the natural number, as well as four other "special" numbers.
What is Euler's identity (or eiπ + 1 = 0) ?
b2-4ac is also known as this term, which helps you find out how many times a parabola touches the x-axis.
What is the discriminant?
This type of series can approximate almost any function using polynomials.
What is a Taylor or Maclaurin series?
This quadrilateral law is used to approximate vector addition.
What is the parallelogram law?
This Polish mathematician was best known for his work on fractals.
Who is Benoit Mandelbrot?
Out of the three "elementary" trigonometric functions, this is the only one with asymptotes.
What is tan(x) ?
