The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences eschews terms using Greek prefixes (e.g., "octagonal") in favor of terms using numerals (i.e., "8-gonal").

Famous quotes containing the words table of, table and/or values:

    ““A sigh for every so many breath,
    And for every so many sigh a death.
    That’s what I always tell my wife
    Is the multiplication table of life.””
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “A big leather-bound volume makes an ideal razorstrap. A thin book is useful to stick under a table with a broken caster to steady it. A large, flat atlas can be used to cover a window with a broken pane. And a thick, old-fashioned heavy book with a clasp is the finest thing in the world to throw at a noisy cat.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “With all of its bad influences, T.V. is not to be feared.... It can be a fairly safe laboratory for confronting, seeing through, and thus being immunized against unhealthy values so as to be “in the world but not of it.””
    —Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
