  2. Paraboloidal coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraboloidal_coordinates

    Parabolic coordinates 3D. Paraboloidal coordinates are three-dimensional orthogonal coordinates (,,) that generalize two-dimensional parabolic coordinates.They possess elliptic paraboloids as one-coordinate surfaces.

  3. Paraboloid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraboloid

    Paraboloid of revolution. In geometry, a paraboloid is a quadric surface that has exactly one axis of symmetry and no center of symmetry. The term "paraboloid" is derived from parabola, which refers to a conic section that has a similar property of symmetry. Every plane section of a paraboloid made by a plane parallel to

  4. Parabola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabola

    In the theory of quadratic forms, the parabola is the graph of the quadratic form x 2 (or other scalings), while the elliptic paraboloid is the graph of the positive-definite quadratic form x 2 + y 2 (or scalings), and the hyperbolic paraboloid is the graph of the indefinite quadratic form x 2 − y 2. Generalizations to more variables yield ...

  7. Contour line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contour_line

    A contour map is a map illustrated with contour lines, for example a topographic map, which thus shows valleys and hills, and the steepness or gentleness of slopes. [4] The contour interval of a contour map is the difference in elevation between successive contour lines. [5] The gradient of the function is always perpendicular to the contour ...

  8. Saddle point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saddle_point

    Hyperbolic paraboloid A model of an elliptic hyperboloid of one sheet A monkey saddle. A saddle surface is a smooth surface containing one or more saddle points.. Classical examples of two-dimensional saddle surfaces in the Euclidean space are second order surfaces, the hyperbolic paraboloid = (which is often referred to as "the saddle surface" or "the standard saddle surface") and the ...

  9. Conformal map projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conformal_map_projection

    A contour chart of scale factors of GS50 projection Maps reflecting directions, such as a nautical chart or an aeronautical chart , are projected by conformal projections. Maps treating values whose gradients are important, such as a weather map with atmospheric pressure , are also projected by conformal projections.
