David van Dantzig (September 23, 1900 – July 22, 1959) was a Dutch mathematician, well known for the construction in topology of the dyadic solenoid. He was a member of the Significs Group. Biography Born to a Jewish family in Amsterdam in 1900, Van Dantzig started to study Chemistry at the University of Amsterdam in...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface%20integral
In mathematics, particularly multivariable calculus, a surface integral is a generalization of multiple integrals to integration over surfaces. It can be thought of as the double integral analogue of the line integral. Given a surface, one may integrate a scalar field (that is, a function of position which returns a ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category%20of%20medial%20magmas
In mathematics, the category of medial magmas, also known as the medial category, and denoted Med, is the category whose objects are medial magmas (that is, sets with a medial binary operation), and whose morphisms are magma homomorphisms (which are equivalent to homomorphisms in the sense of universal algebra). The c...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelah%20cardinal
In axiomatic set theory, Shelah cardinals are a kind of large cardinals. A cardinal is called Shelah iff for every , there exists a transitive class and an elementary embedding with critical point ; and . A Shelah cardinal has a normal ultrafilter containing the set of weakly hyper-Woodin cardinals below it. Refer...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remarkable%20cardinal
In mathematics, a remarkable cardinal is a certain kind of large cardinal number. A cardinal κ is called remarkable if for all regular cardinals θ > κ, there exist π, M, λ, σ, N and ρ such that π : M → Hθ is an elementary embedding M is countable and transitive π(λ) = κ σ : M → N is an elementary embedding with c...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extremal%20graph%20theory
Extremal graph theory is a branch of combinatorics, itself an area of mathematics, that lies at the intersection of extremal combinatorics and graph theory. In essence, extremal graph theory studies how global properties of a graph influence local substructure. Results in extremal graph theory deal with quantitative c...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pfaffian
In mathematics, the determinant of an m×m skew-symmetric matrix can always be written as the square of a polynomial in the matrix entries, a polynomial with integer coefficients that only depends on m. When m is odd, the polynomial is zero. When m=2n is even, it is a nonzero polynomial of degree n, and is unique up to ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal%20%28order%20theory%29
In mathematical order theory, an ideal is a special subset of a partially ordered set (poset). Although this term historically was derived from the notion of a ring ideal of abstract algebra, it has subsequently been generalized to a different notion. Ideals are of great importance for many constructions in order and l...
