2. Constructive solid geometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructive_solid_geometry

   Constructive solid geometry (CSG; formerly called computational binary solid geometry) is a technique used in solid modeling. Constructive solid geometry allows a modeler to create a complex surface or object by using Boolean operators to combine simpler objects, [1] potentially generating visually complex objects by combining a few primitive ...

3. Tracing paper - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracing_paper

   Tracing paper is paper made to have low opacity, allowing light to pass through. Its origins date back to at least the 1300s where it was used by artists of the Italian Renaissance. [1] In the 1880s, tracing paper was produced en masse, used by architects, design engineers, and artists. [2] Tracing paper was key in creating drawings that could ...

4. Polygon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygon

   Polygon. Some polygons of different kinds: open (excluding its boundary), boundary only (excluding interior), closed (including both boundary and interior), and self-intersecting. In geometry, a polygon (/ ˈpɒlɪɡɒn /) is a plane figure made up of line segments connected to form a closed polygonal chain. The segments of a closed polygonal ...

5. Trace (linear algebra) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trace_(linear_algebra)

   Trace (linear algebra) In linear algebra, the trace of a square matrix A, denoted tr (A), [1] is defined to be the sum of elements on the main diagonal (from the upper left to the lower right) of A. The trace is only defined for a square matrix (n × n). In mathematical physics texts, if tr (A) = 0 then the matrix is said to be traceless.

6. Curve sketching - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_sketching

   Newton's diagram. Newton's diagram (also known as Newton's parallelogram, after Isaac Newton) is a technique for determining the shape of an algebraic curve close to and far away from the origin. It consists of plotting (α, β) for each term Axαyβ in the equation of the curve. The resulting diagram is then analyzed to produce information ...

7. Rectangle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectangle

   Rectangle. In Euclidean plane geometry, a rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right angles. It can also be defined as: an equiangular quadrilateral, since equiangular means that all of its angles are equal (360°/4 = 90°); or a parallelogram containing a right angle. A rectangle with four sides of equal length is a square.
