Each curve in this example is a locus defined as the conchoid of the point P and the line l.In this example, P is 8 cm from l. In geometry, a locus (plural: loci) (Latin word for "place", "location") is a set of all points (commonly, a line, a line segment, a curve or a surface), whose location satisfies or is determined by one or more specified conditions.
Section A consists of 12 questions in which all must all be answered, whereas Section B consists of 3 questions and students are given the choice to answer 2 of the three questions only. Each question may contain from zero to three subsets of questions with marks ranging from 2 to 8 marks.

The first nine blocks in the solution to the single-wide block-stacking problem with the overhangs indicated. In statics, the block-stacking problem (sometimes known as The Leaning Tower of Lire (Johnson 1955), also the book-stacking problem, or a number of other similar terms) is a puzzle concerning the stacking of blocks at the edge of a table.
Theorem (Lefschetz theorem on (1,1)-classes) Any element of (,), is the cohomology class of a divisor on . In particular, the Hodge conjecture is true for H 2 {\displaystyle H^{2}} . A very quick proof can be given using sheaf cohomology and the exponential exact sequence .
Murderous Maths is a series of British educational books by author Kjartan Poskitt.Most of the books in the series are illustrated by illustrator Philip Reeve, with the exception of "The Secret Life of Codes", which is illustrated by Ian Baker, "Awesome Arithmetricks" illustrated by Daniel Postgate and Rob Davis, and "The Murderous Maths of Everything", also illustrated by Rob Davis.
The problem of counting the number of solutions to different types of Apollonius' problem belongs to the field of enumerative geometry. [12] [41] The general number of solutions for each of the ten types of Apollonius' problem is given in Table 1 above. However, special arrangements of the given elements may change the number of solutions.
