  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.

    It corresponds to a curve on the Klein quadric. 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 ⁠ ⁠.

  5. Algebraic surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_surface

    A summary of the results (in detail, for each kind of surface refers to each redirection), follows: Examples of algebraic surfaces include (κ is the Kodaira dimension): κ = −∞: the projective plane, quadrics in P 3, cubic surfaces, Veronese surface, del Pezzo surfaces, ruled surfaces

  6. Quadric geometric algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadric_geometric_algebra

    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. Attempting to rotate a QGA point may produce a value that projects as the expected rotated vector, but the produced value is generally not a correct embedding of the rotated vector.

  7. Analytic geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytic_geometry

    A quadric, or quadric surface, is a 2-dimensional surface in 3-dimensional space defined as the locus of zeros of a quadratic polynomial. In coordinates x 1 , x 2 , x 3 , the general quadric is defined by the algebraic equation [ 21 ]

  8. Spheroid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spheroid

    These formulas are identical in the sense that the formula for S oblate can be used to calculate the surface area of a prolate spheroid and vice versa. However, e then becomes imaginary and can no longer directly be identified with the eccentricity. Both of these results may be cast into many other forms using standard mathematical identities ...

  9. Ellipsoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipsoid

    An ellipsoid is a surface that can be obtained from a sphere by deforming it by means of directional scalings, or more generally, of an affine transformation. An ellipsoid is a quadric surface; that is, a surface that may be defined as the zero set of a polynomial of degree two in three variables. Among quadric surfaces, an ellipsoid is ...
