a({x},t)=0
b({x},t)=0

Where
t=time
{x}= the set of 3N Cartesian coordinates for the system of N particles.
For N particles, the number of holonomic constraints must be less than 3N using the assumption that each equation has an explicit dependence to AT LEAST one coordinate.

A rigid body, defined by the constraint equations (using LaTeX) is
\left| {x_i - x_j } \right| - c_{ij} = 0
where i is not equal to j is a Holonomic Constraint.
\left| {x_i - x_j } \right| - c_{ij} = 0
where i is not equal to j is a Holonomic Constraint.

Get the constance bay mug.The Wadsworth constant, first postulated by Redditor Wadsworth, states that one can skip the first thirty percent of most videos while still maintaining the integrity of the content.
The constant itself is indicated by the lower case Greek letter Xi (ξ).

By applying the Wadsworth Constant to the above text, we find that it is shortened to a much more readable version.

Get the Wadsworth Constant mug.Higginbotham's Constant (denoted as lower-case 'h') is a mathematical constant which represents the total sum of all practical intelligence on any given planet.
The implication is that the higher the population of sentient beings on the planet, the lower the average intelligence will be among any large sample set. This does not preclude beings of higher intellect, but it requires that on average, there is one person as far below average as the former being is above average.
