  2. List of surfaces - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_surfaces

    This is a list of surfaces in mathematics. They are divided into minimal surfaces , ruled surfaces , non-orientable surfaces , quadrics , pseudospherical surfaces , algebraic surfaces , and other types of surfaces.

  3. Pseudosphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudosphere

    A pseudospherical surface is a generalization of the pseudosphere. A surface which is piecewise smoothly immersed in with constant negative curvature is a pseudospherical surface. The tractroid is the simplest example. Other examples include the Dini's surfaces, breather surfaces, and the Kuen surface.

    3D curves — Example 01 3D curves — Example 02. Geometrical design (GD) is a branch of computational geometry.It deals with the construction and representation of free-form curves, surfaces, or volumes [1] and is closely related to geometric modeling.

    A consortium of several companies started to work in 2008 on a free implementation of 3D surface texture parameters. The consortium, called OpenGPS [1] later focused its efforts on an XML file format (X3P) that was published under the ISO standard ISO 25178-72.

  6. Constant-mean-curvature surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Constant-mean-curvature_surface

    Besides macroscopic bubble surfaces CMC surfaces are relevant for the shape of the gas–liquid interface on a superhydrophobic surface. [28] Like triply periodic minimal surfaces there has been interest in periodic CMC surfaces as models for block copolymers where the different components have a nonzero interfacial energy or tension. CMC ...

  7. Surface (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_(mathematics)

    A sphere is the surface of a solid ball, here having radius r. In mathematics, a surface is a mathematical model of the common concept of a surface.It is a generalization of a plane, but, unlike a plane, it may be curved; this is analogous to a curve generalizing a straight line.

  8. Geoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoid

    This surface is extended through the continents (such as might be approximated with very narrow hypothetical canals). According to Carl Friedrich Gauss, who first described it, it is the "mathematical figure of the Earth", a smooth but irregular surface whose shape results from the uneven distribution of mass within and on the surface of Earth. [2]

  9. Bézier surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bézier_surface

    Bézier surfaces are a species of mathematical spline used in computer graphics, computer-aided design, and finite element modeling. As with Bézier curves, a Bézier surface is defined by a set of control points.
