  2. Stationary point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stationary_point

    The stationary points are the red circles. In this graph, they are all relative maxima or relative minima. The blue squares are inflection points.. In mathematics, particularly in calculus, a stationary point of a differentiable function of one variable is a point on the graph of the function where the function's derivative is zero.

  3. Curve sketching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_sketching

    In geometry, curve sketching (or curve tracing) are techniques for producing a rough idea of overall shape of a plane curve given its equation, without computing the large numbers of points required for a detailed plot. It is an application of the theory of curves to find their main features.

  4. Spray (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spray_(mathematics)

    Therefore, a curve : [,] is stationary to the action integral if and only if it is of constant speed and stationary to the length functional. The Hamiltonian vector field H is called the geodesic spray of the Finsler manifold ( M , F ) and the corresponding flow Φ H t (ξ) is called the geodesic flow .

  5. Critical point (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_point_(mathematics)

    Although it is easily visualized on the graph (which is a curve), the notion of critical point of a function must not be confused with the notion of critical point, in some direction, of a curve (see below for a detailed definition). If g(x, y) is a differentiable function of two variables, then g(x,y) = 0 is the implicit equation of a curve.

  6. Glossary of calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_calculus

    area under a curve asymptote In analytic geometry, an asymptote of a curve is a line such that the distance between the curve and the line approaches zero as one or both of the x or y coordinates tends to infinity. Some sources include the requirement that the curve may not cross the line infinitely often, but this is unusual for modern authors ...

  7. Inflection point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflection_point

    The roots, stationary points, inflection point and concavity of a cubic polynomial x 3 − 6x 2 + 9x − 4 (solid black curve) and its first (dashed red) and second (dotted orange) derivatives. In differential calculus and differential geometry , an inflection point , point of inflection , flex , or inflection (rarely inflexion ) is a point on ...
