  2. Normal (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    For a plane given by the general form plane equation + + + =, the vector = (,,) is a normal. For a plane whose equation is given in parametric form (,) = + +, where is a point on the plane and , are non-parallel vectors pointing along the plane, a normal to the plane is a vector normal to both and , which can be found as the cross product =.

  3. Hesse normal form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hesse_normal_form

    Distance from the origin O to the line E calculated with the Hesse normal form. Normal vector in red, line in green, point O shown in blue. In analytic geometry, the Hesse normal form (named after Otto Hesse) is an equation used to describe a line in the Euclidean plane, a plane in Euclidean space, or a hyperplane in higher dimensions.

  4. Normal plane (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    The normal section of a surface at a particular point is the curve produced by the intersection of that surface with a normal plane. [1] [2] [3] The curvature of the normal section is called the normal curvature. If the surface is bow or cylinder shaped, the maximum and the minimum of these curvatures are the principal curvatures.

  5. Planar graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planar_graph

    A 1-planar graph is a graph that may be drawn in the plane with at most one simple crossing per edge, and a k-planar graph is a graph that may be drawn with at most k simple crossings per edge. A map graph is a graph formed from a set of finitely many simply-connected interior-disjoint regions in the plane by connecting two regions when they ...

  6. Plane (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In mathematics, a plane is a two-dimensional space or flat surface that extends indefinitely. A plane is the two-dimensional analogue of a point (zero dimensions), a line (one dimension) and three-dimensional space. When working exclusively in two-dimensional Euclidean space, the definite article is used, so the Euclidean plane refers to the ...

  7. Normal form for free groups and free product of groups

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_form_for_free...

    A normal form for a free product of groups is a representation or choice of a reduced sequence for each element in the free product. Normal Form Theorem for Free Product of Groups. Consider the free product of two groups and . Then the following two equivalent statements hold.

  8. Euclidean planes in three-dimensional space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_planes_in_three...

    Conversely, it is easily shown that if a, b, c, and d are constants and a, b, and c are not all zero, then the graph of the equation + + + =, is a plane having the vector n = (a, b, c) as a normal. [5] This familiar equation for a plane is called the general form of the equation of the plane or just the plane equation. [6]

  9. Fáry's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fáry's_theorem

    Let G be a simple plane graph with n vertices; we may add edges if necessary so that G is a maximally plane graph. If n < 3, the result is trivial. If n ≥ 3, then all faces of G must be triangles, as we could add an edge into any face with more sides while preserving planarity, contradicting the assumption of maximal planarity.
