  2. Parallel (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    Nevertheless, in affine geometry a pencil of parallel lines is taken as an equivalence class in the set of lines where parallelism is an equivalence relation. [18] [19] [20] To this end, Emil Artin (1957) adopted a definition of parallelism where two lines are parallel if they have all or none of their points in common. [21]

    Parallel curves of the graph of = ⁡ for distances =, …, Two definitions of a parallel curve: 1) envelope of a family of congruent circles, 2) by a fixed normal distance The parallel curves of a circle (red) are circles, too

  4. Concurrent lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_lines

    Lines A, B and C are concurrent in Y. In geometry, lines in a plane or higher-dimensional space are concurrent if they intersect at a single point.. The set of all lines through a point is called a pencil, and their common intersection is called the vertex of the pencil.

  5. Plane-based geometric algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plane-based_geometric_algebra

    The plane-based approach to geometry may be contrasted with the approach that uses the cross product, in which points, translations, rotation axes, and plane normals are all modelled as "vectors". However, use of vectors in advanced engineering problems often require subtle distinctions between different kinds of vector because of this ...

  6. Kinematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematics

    In engineering, for instance, kinematic analysis may be used to find the range of movement for a given mechanism and, working in reverse, using kinematic synthesis to design a mechanism for a desired range of motion. [8] In addition, kinematics applies algebraic geometry to the study of the mechanical advantage of a mechanical system or mechanism.

  7. Equipollence (geometry) - Wikipedia

    , where n stands for a positive number, indicates that AB is both parallel to and has the same direction as CD, and that their lengths have the relation expressed by AB = n.CD. [1] The segment from A to B is a bound vector, while the class of segments equipollent to it is a free vector, in the parlance of Euclidean vectors.

    More than half of all online sales on Black Friday --about 55% -- were on mobile screens, according to Adobe. Overall, it appears people were more keen to shop online than to hit the stores in-person.

  9. Screw theory - Wikipedia

    All points in the body have the same component of the velocity along the axis, however the greater the distance from the axis the greater the velocity in the plane perpendicular to this axis. Thus, the helicoidal field formed by the velocity vectors in a moving rigid body flattens out the further the points are radially from the twist axis.
