   Peak, an (n-3)-dimensional element For example, in a polyhedron (3-dimensional polytope), a face is a facet, an edge is a ridge, and a vertex is a peak. Vertex figure : not itself an element of a polytope, but a diagram showing how the elements meet.

3. Three-dimensional space - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-dimensional_space

   Another type of sphere arises from a 4-ball, whose three-dimensional surface is the 3-sphere: points equidistant to the origin of the euclidean space R 4. If a point has coordinates, P ( x , y , z , w ) , then x 2 + y 2 + z 2 + w 2 = 1 characterizes those points on the unit 3-sphere centered at the origin.

4. Honeycomb (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

   A 3-dimensional uniform honeycomb is a honeycomb in 3-space composed of uniform polyhedral cells, and having all vertices the same (i.e., the group of [isometries of 3-space that preserve the tiling] is transitive on vertices). There are 28 convex examples in Euclidean 3-space, [1] also called the Archimedean honeycombs.

5. ε-net (computational geometry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ε-net_(computational...

   For example, suppose X is the set of points in the two-dimensional plane, R is the set of closed filled rectangles (products of closed intervals), and P is the unit square [0, 1] × [0, 1]. Then the set N consisting of the 8 points shown in the adjacent diagram is a 1/4-net of P, because any closed filled rectangle intersecting at least 1/4 of ...

6. Geometry - Wikipedia

   A curve is a 1-dimensional object that may be straight (like a line) or not; curves in 2-dimensional space are called plane curves and those in 3-dimensional space are called space curves. [52] In topology, a curve is defined by a function from an interval of the real numbers to another space. [49]

7. Atomic orbital - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_orbital

   The shapes of atomic orbitals in one-electron atom are related to 3-dimensional spherical harmonics. These shapes are not unique, and any linear combination is valid, like a transformation to cubic harmonics, in fact it is possible to generate sets where all the d's are the same shape, just like the p x, p y, and p z are the same shape.
