  2. Euclidean plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_plane

    In graph theory, a planar graph is a graph that can be embedded in the plane, i.e., it can be drawn on the plane in such a way that its edges intersect only at their endpoints. In other words, it can be drawn in such a way that no edges cross each other. [9] Such a drawing is called a plane graph or planar embedding of the graph.

    This correlation would also map a line determined by two points (a 1, b 1, c 1, d 1) and (a 2, b 2, c 2, d 2) to the line which is the intersection of the two planes with equations a 1 x + b 1 y + c 1 z + d 1 w = 0 and a 2 x + b 2 y + c 2 z + d 2 w = 0. The associated sesquilinear form for this correlation is: φ(u, x) = u H ⋅ x P = u 0 x 0 ...

    Using homogeneous coordinates they can be represented by invertible 3 × 3 matrices over K which act on the points of PG(2, K) by y = M x T, where x and y are points in K 3 (vectors) and M is an invertible 3 × 3 matrix over K. [10] Two matrices represent the same projective transformation if one is a constant multiple of the other.

  5. Real projective plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_projective_plane

    The equation x T ℓ = 0 calculates the inner product of two column vectors. The inner product of two vectors is zero if the vectors are orthogonal. In P 2, the line between the points x 1 and x 2 may be represented as a column vector ℓ that satisfies the equations x 1 T ℓ = 0 and x 2 T ℓ = 0, or in other words a column vector ℓ that is ...

  6. Bipolar coordinates - Wikipedia

    The equations for x and y can be combined to give + = ⁡ (+) [2] [3] or + = ⁡ (). This equation shows that σ and τ are the real and imaginary parts of an analytic function of x+iy (with logarithmic branch points at the foci), which in turn proves (by appeal to the general theory of conformal mapping) (the Cauchy-Riemann equations) that these particular curves of σ and τ intersect at ...

  7. Bivector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bivector

    If imagined as a parallelogram, with the origin for the vectors at 0, then signed area is the determinant of the vectors' Cartesian coordinates (a x b y − b x a y). [21] The cross product a × b is orthogonal to the bivector a ∧ b. In three dimensions all bivectors can be generated by the exterior product of two vectors.

  8. Euclidean vector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_vector

    Subtraction of two vectors can be geometrically illustrated as follows: to subtract b from a, place the tails of a and b at the same point, and then draw an arrow from the head of b to the head of a. This new arrow represents the vector (-b) + a, with (-b) being the opposite of b, see drawing. And (-b) + a = a − b. The subtraction of two ...

  9. Rotation of axes in two dimensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_of_axes_in_two...

    A point P has coordinates (x, y) with respect to the original system and coordinates (x′, y′) with respect to the new system. [1] In the new coordinate system, the point P will appear to have been rotated in the opposite direction, that is, clockwise through the angle . A rotation of axes in more than two dimensions is defined similarly.
