  2. Quadric (algebraic geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadric_(algebraic_geometry)

    The two families of lines on a smooth (split) quadric surface. In mathematics, a quadric or quadric hypersurface is the subspace of N-dimensional space defined by a polynomial equation of degree 2 over a field. Quadrics are fundamental examples in algebraic geometry. The theory is simplified by working in projective space rather than affine ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadric

    In mathematics, a quadric or quadric surface (quadric hypersurface in higher dimensions), is a generalization of conic sections (ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas).It is a hypersurface (of dimension D) in a (D + 1)-dimensional space, and it is defined as the zero set of an irreducible polynomial of degree two in D + 1 variables; for example, D = 1 in the case of conic sections.

  4. Completing the square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completing_the_square

    Given a quadratic polynomial of the form + + it is possible to factor out the coefficient a, and then complete the square for the resulting monic polynomial. Example: + + = [+ +] = [(+) +] = (+) + = (+) + This process of factoring out the coefficient a can further be simplified by only factorising it out of the first 2 terms.

  5. Algebraic surface - Wikipedia

    The general type class, of Kodaira dimension 2, is very large (degree 5 or larger for a non-singular surface in P 3 lies in it, for example). There are essential three Hodge number invariants of a surface. Of those, h 1,0 was classically called the irregularity and denoted by q; and h 2,0 was called the geometric genus p g.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plücker_coordinates

    For example, a hyperboloid of one sheet is a quadric surface in ⁠ ⁠ ruled by two different families of lines, one line of each passing through each point of the surface; each family corresponds under the Plücker map to a conic section within the Klein quadric in ⁠ ⁠.

  7. Quadric geometric algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadric_geometric_algebra

    In general, the operation of rotation does not work correctly on non-spherical QGA quadric surface entities. Rotation also does not work correctly on the QGA point entities. Attempting to rotate a QGA quadric surface may result in a different type of quadric surface, or a quadric surface that is rotated and distorted in an unexpected way.

  8. Square (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_(algebra)

    A non-zero element of this field is called a quadratic residue if it is a square in Z/pZ, and otherwise, it is called a quadratic non-residue. Zero, while a square, is not considered to be a quadratic residue. Every finite field of this type has exactly (p − 1)/2 quadratic residues and exactly (p − 1)/2 quadratic non-residues.

  9. Square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square

    The area of a square is the product of the length of its sides. The perimeter of a square whose four sides have length is = and the area A is =. [1] Since four squared equals sixteen, a four by four square has an area equal to its perimeter.
