  2. Analytic geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytic_geometry

    In a manner analogous to the way lines in a two-dimensional space are described using a point-slope form for their equations, planes in a three dimensional space have a natural description using a point in the plane and a vector orthogonal to it (the normal vector) to indicate its "inclination".

  3. Chegg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chegg

    Chegg began trading shares publicly on the New York Stock Exchange in November 2013. [15] Its IPO was reported to have raised $187.5 million, with an initial market capitalization of about $1.1 billion. [16] In 2014, Chegg entered a partnership with book distributor Ingram Content Group to distribute all of Chegg's physical textbook rentals ...

  4. Set cover problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_cover_problem

    Geometric set cover is a special case of Set Cover when the universe is a set of points in and the sets are induced by the intersection of the universe and geometric shapes (e.g., disks, rectangles). Set packing; Maximum coverage problem is to choose at most k sets to cover as many elements as possible.

  5. Parametric equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parametric_equation

    In mathematics, a parametric equation expresses several quantities, such as the coordinates of a point, as functions of one or several variables called parameters. [ 1 ] In the case of a single parameter, parametric equations are commonly used to express the trajectory of a moving point, in which case, the parameter is often, but not ...

  6. Rectangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectangle

    In Euclidean plane geometry, a rectangle is a rectilinear convex polygon or 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.

  7. Minimum bounding box algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_bounding_box...

    Then, this initial bounding box is partitioned into a grid of smaller cubes, and grid points near the boundary of the convex hull of the input are used as a coreset, a small set of points whose optimum bounding box approximates the optimum bounding box of the original input. Finally, O'Rourke's algorithm is applied to find the exact optimum ...

  8. Box–Behnken design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box–Behnken_design

    Each factor, or independent variable, is placed at one of three equally spaced values, usually coded as −1, 0, +1. (At least three levels are needed for the following goal.) The design should be sufficient to fit a quadratic model , that is, one containing squared terms, products of two factors, linear terms and an intercept.

  9. Liouville's theorem (Hamiltonian) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liouville's_theorem...

    In physics, Liouville's theorem, named after the French mathematician Joseph Liouville, is a key theorem in classical statistical and Hamiltonian mechanics.It asserts that the phase-space distribution function is constant along the trajectories of the system—that is that the density of system points in the vicinity of a given system point traveling through phase-space is constant with time.
