  2. Hyperboloid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperboloid

    This property is called Wren's theorem. [1] The more common generation of a one-sheet hyperboloid of revolution is rotating a hyperbola around its semi-minor axis (see picture; rotating the hyperbola around its other axis gives a two-sheet hyperbola of revolution). A hyperboloid of one sheet is projectively equivalent to a hyperbolic paraboloid.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hyperboloid_structures

    Hyperboloid of one sheet, such as cooling towers A hyperboloid of one sheet is a doubly ruled surface , and it may be generated by either of two families of straight lines. The hyperbolic paraboloid is a doubly ruled surface so it may be used to construct a saddle roof from straight beams.

  5. Hyperboloid structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperboloid_structure

    Hyperboloid structures are architectural structures designed using a hyperboloid in one sheet. Often these are tall structures, such as towers, where the hyperboloid geometry's structural strength is used to support an object high above the ground. Hyperboloid geometry is often used for decorative effect as well as structural economy.

  6. Hyperbola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbola

    Hyperbola: the midpoints of parallel chords lie on a line. Hyperbola: the midpoint of a chord is the midpoint of the corresponding chord of the asymptotes. The midpoints of parallel chords of a hyperbola lie on a line through the center (see diagram). The points of any chord may lie on different branches of the hyperbola.

  7. Hyperboloid model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperboloid_model

    The vectors v ∈ R n+1 such that Q(v) = -1 form an n-dimensional hyperboloid S consisting of two connected components, or sheets: the forward, or future, sheet S +, where x 0 >0 and the backward, or past, sheet S −, where x 0 <0. The points of the n-dimensional hyperboloid model are the points on the forward sheet S +.

    Then, the lines ,, are concurrent at a point lying on the Feuerbach hyperbola. The Kariya's theorem has a long history. [4] It was proved independently by Auguste Boutin and V. Retali., [5] [6] [7] but it became famous only after Kariya 's paper. [8] Around that time, many generalizations of this result were given.

  9. Gauss circle problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss_circle_problem

    Although the original problem asks for integer lattice points in a circle, there is no reason not to consider other shapes, for example conics; indeed Dirichlet's divisor problem is the equivalent problem where the circle is replaced by the rectangular hyperbola. [3]
