The parabola is a member of the family of conic sections. In mathematics, a parabola is a plane curve which is mirror-symmetrical and is approximately U-shaped. It fits several superficially different mathematical descriptions, which can all be proved to define exactly the same curves.
A chart of all prime knots with seven or fewer crossings, not including mirror-images. The knots are labeled with Alexander-Briggs notation . Originally studied to create a list of possible real-world knots, knot theory has become quite theoretical in nature and, at the same time, has been applied to concrete problems in organic chemistry ...
