   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duplication

   Duplication, or doubling, multiplication by 2; Duplication matrix, a linear transformation dealing with half-vectorization; Doubling the cube, a problem in geometry also known as duplication of the cube; A type of multiplication theorem called the Legendre duplication formula or simply "duplication formula"

3. Multiplication theorem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication_theorem

   The duplication formula and the multiplication theorem for the gamma function are the prototypical examples. The duplication formula for the gamma function is (+) = ().It is also called the Legendre duplication formula [1] or Legendre relation, in honor of Adrien-Marie Legendre.

5. Hippocrates of Chios - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocrates_of_Chios

   The major accomplishment of Hippocrates is that he was the first to write a systematically organized geometry textbook, called Elements (Στοιχεῖα, Stoicheia), that is, basic theorems, or building blocks of mathematical theory. From then on, mathematicians from all over the ancient world could, at least in principle, build on a common ...

6. Doubling the cube - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubling_the_cube

   The answer seemed strange to the Delians, and they consulted Plato, who was able to interpret the oracle as the mathematical problem of doubling the volume of a given cube, thus explaining the oracle as the advice of Apollo for the citizens of Delos to occupy themselves with the study of geometry and mathematics in order to calm down their ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_mathematical...

   A mathematical symbol is a figure or a combination of figures that is used to represent a mathematical object, an action on mathematical objects, a relation between mathematical objects, or for structuring the other symbols that occur in a formula.

8. AA postulate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AA_postulate

   In Euclidean geometry, the AA postulate states that two triangles are similar if they have two corresponding angles congruent. The AA postulate follows from the fact that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always equal to 180°. By knowing two angles, such as 32° and 64° degrees, we know that the next angle is 84°, because 180 ...

9. Dual polyhedron - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_polyhedron

   In Euclidean space, the dual of a polyhedron is often defined in terms of polar reciprocation about a sphere. Here, each vertex (pole) is associated with a face plane (polar plane or just polar) so that the ray from the center to the vertex is perpendicular to the plane, and the product of the distances from the center to each is equal to the square of the radius.
