https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeskMate | DeskMate is a software application that provides a graphical operating environment. It originally was for Tandy Corporation's TRSDOS Operating System for their TRS-80 line of computers, but eventually shifted to MS-DOS. Like GEM from Digital Research, it is not a full operating system, but runs on top an existing syste... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schur%20multiplier | In mathematical group theory, the Schur multiplier or Schur multiplicator is the second homology group of a group G. It was introduced by in his work on projective representations.
Examples and properties
The Schur multiplier of a finite group G is a finite abelian group whose exponent divides the order of G. If a... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axiom%20of%20real%20determinacy | In mathematics, the axiom of real determinacy (abbreviated as ADR) is an axiom in set theory. It states the following:
The axiom of real determinacy is a stronger version of the axiom of determinacy (AD), which makes the same statement about games where both players choose integers; ADR is inconsistent with the axiom ... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dedekind%20sum | In mathematics, Dedekind sums are certain sums of products of a sawtooth function, and are given by a function D of three integer variables. Dedekind introduced them to express the functional equation of the Dedekind eta function. They have subsequently been much studied in number theory, and have occurred in some pro... |

Although it is most widely known for its WinTV line of TV tuner cards for PCs, Hauppauge also produces personal video recorders, digital video editors, digital media players, hybrid video recorders and di... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyroelongated%20square%20pyramid | In geometry, the gyroelongated square pyramid is one of the Johnson solids (). As its name suggests, it can be constructed by taking a square pyramid and "gyroelongating" it, which in this case involves joining a square antiprism to its base.
Applications
The Gyroelongated square pyramid represents the capped square a... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elongated%20pentagonal%20pyramid | In geometry, the elongated pentagonal pyramid is one of the Johnson solids (). As the name suggests, it can be constructed by elongating a pentagonal pyramid () by attaching a pentagonal prism to its base.
Formulae
The following formulae for the height (), surface area () and volume () can be used if all faces are r... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyroelongated%20pentagonal%20pyramid | In geometry, the gyroelongated pentagonal pyramid is one of the Johnson solids (). As its name suggests, it is formed by taking a pentagonal pyramid and "gyroelongating" it, which in this case involves joining a pentagonal antiprism to its base.
It can also be seen as a diminished icosahedron, an icosahedron with the ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tridiminished%20icosahedron | In geometry, the tridiminished icosahedron is one of the Johnson solids (). The name refers to one way of constructing it, by removing three pentagonal pyramids () from a regular icosahedron, which replaces three sets of five triangular faces from the icosahedron with three mutually adjacent pentagonal faces.
