  2. Lune of Hippocrates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lune_of_Hippocrates

    The lune of Hippocrates is the upper left shaded area. It has the same area as the lower right shaded triangle. In geometry, the lune of Hippocrates, named after Hippocrates of Chios, is a lune bounded by arcs of two circles, the smaller of which has as its diameter a chord spanning a right angle on the larger circle.

  3. Rules for the Direction of the Mind - Wikipedia

    Rules 13–24 deal with what Descartes terms "perfectly understood problems", or problems in which all of the conditions relevant to the solution of the problem are known, and which arise principally in arithmetic and geometry. Rules 25–36 deal with "imperfectly understood problems", or problems in which one or more conditions relevant to the ...

    The translations are the composition of 180° rotations just as in the case of the straight-edge hexagonal parallelogon or parallelograms. [9] A tiling nonomino that does not satisfy the Conway criterion. The four heptominoes incapable of tiling the plane, including the one heptomino with a hole.

    Another example of a model in ecological economics is the doughnut model from economist Kate Raworth. This macroeconomic model includes planetary boundaries, like climate change into its model. These macroeconomic models from ecological economics, although more popular, are not fully accepted by mainstream economic thinking.

  6. Macroeconomics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macroeconomics

    Macroeconomics is a branch of economics that deals with the performance, structure, behavior, and decision-making of an economy as a whole. [1] This includes regional, national, and global economies .

  7. La Géométrie - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Géométrie

    The work was the first to propose the idea of uniting algebra and geometry into a single subject [2] and invented an algebraic geometry called analytic geometry, which involves reducing geometry to a form of arithmetic and algebra and translating geometric shapes into algebraic equations. For its time this was ground-breaking.

  8. Angle trisection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_trisection

    Define p(t) to be the polynomial p(t) = 8t 3 − 6t − 1. Since x = cos 20° is a root of p(t), the minimal polynomial for cos 20° is a factor of p(t). Because p(t) has degree 3, if it is reducible over by Q then it has a rational root. By the rational root theorem, this root must be ±1, ± ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠, ± ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠ or ± ⁠ 1 / 8 ...

  9. Projective geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projective_geometry

    The only projective geometry of dimension 0 is a single point. A projective geometry of dimension 1 consists of a single line containing at least 3 points. The geometric construction of arithmetic operations cannot be performed in either of these cases. For dimension 2, there is a rich structure in virtue of the absence of Desargues' Theorem.
