  2. Cavalieri's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavalieri's_principle

    3-dimensional case: Suppose two regions in three-space (solids) are included between two parallel planes. If every plane parallel to these two planes intersects both regions in cross-sections of equal area, then the two regions have equal volumes.

  3. Cross section (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_section_(geometry)

    The cross-sectional area (′) of an object when viewed from a particular angle is the total area of the orthographic projection of the object from that angle. For example, a cylinder of height h and radius r has A ′ = π r 2 {\displaystyle A'=\pi r^{2}} when viewed along its central axis, and A ′ = 2 r h {\displaystyle A'=2rh} when viewed ...

  4. Klein bottle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klein_bottle

    A two-dimensional representation of the Klein bottle immersed in three-dimensional space. In mathematics, the Klein bottle (/ ˈ k l aɪ n /) is an example of a non-orientable surface; that is, informally, a one-sided surface which, if traveled upon, could be followed back to the point of origin while flipping the traveler upside down.

  5. Gabriel's horn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabriel's_horn

    Graph of = /. Gabriel's horn is formed by taking the graph of =, with the domain and rotating it in three dimensions about the x axis. The discovery was made using Cavalieri's principle before the invention of calculus, but today, calculus can be used to calculate the volume and surface area of the horn between x = 1 and x = a, where a > 1. [6]

  6. Cubic surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_surface

    The theory is simplified by working in projective space rather than affine space, and so cubic surfaces are generally considered in projective 3-space . The theory also becomes more uniform by focusing on surfaces over the complex numbers rather than the real numbers; note that a complex surface has real dimension 4. A simple example is the ...

  7. Timoshenko–Ehrenfest beam theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timoshenko–Ehrenfest_beam...

    The resulting equation is of fourth order but, unlike Euler–Bernoulli beam theory, there is also a second-order partial derivative present. Physically, taking into account the added mechanisms of deformation effectively lowers the stiffness of the beam, while the result is a larger deflection under a static load and lower predicted ...

  8. Credit Card 'Swipe' Fees Could Cost Shoppers Over $20 ... - AOL

    www.aol.com/credit-card-swipe-fees-could...

    Credit card companies don't work for free. Every time you use one, the store you're buying from is charged a "swipe fee" — and that charge will get passed down to you in higher prices.

  9. Ovoid (projective geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovoid_(projective_geometry)

    For finite projective spaces of dimension d ≥ 3 (i.e., the point set is finite, the space is pappian [1]), the following result is true: If is an ovoid in a finite projective space of dimension d ≥ 3, then d = 3. (In the finite case, ovoids exist only in 3-dimensional spaces.) [2]
