  2. Steinmetz solid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steinmetz_solid

    The generation of a bicylinder Calculating the volume of a bicylinder. A bicylinder generated by two cylinders with radius r has the volume =, and the surface area [1] [6] =.. The upper half of a bicylinder is the square case of a domical vault, a dome-shaped solid based on any convex polygon whose cross-sections are similar copies of the polygon, and analogous formulas calculating the volume ...

  3. Conic section - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conic_section

    A conic is the curve obtained as the intersection of a plane, called the cutting plane, with the surface of a double cone (a cone with two nappes).It is usually assumed that the cone is a right circular cone for the purpose of easy description, but this is not required; any double cone with some circular cross-section will suffice.

  4. Differential geometry of surfaces - Wikipedia

    The key is that when one regards X 1 ⁠ ∂f / ∂u ⁠ + X 2 ⁠ ∂f / ∂v ⁠ as a ℝ 3-valued function, its differentiation along a curve results in second partial derivatives ∂ 2 f; the Christoffel symbols enter with orthogonal projection to the tangent space, due to the formulation of the Christoffel symbols as the tangential ...

  5. Partial derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_derivative

    The volume of a cone depends on height and radius. The volume V of a cone depends on the cone's height h and its radius r according to the formula (,) =. The partial derivative of V with respect to r is =,

  6. Dirichlet problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirichlet_problem

    The next steps in the study of the Dirichlet's problem were taken by Karl Friedrich Gauss, William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) and Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet, after whom the problem was named, and the solution to the problem (at least for the ball) using the Poisson kernel was known to Dirichlet (judging by his 1850 paper submitted to the ...

  7. Cavalieri's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavalieri's_principle

    The disk-shaped cross-sectional area of the sphere is equal to the ring-shaped cross-sectional area of the cylinder part that lies outside the cone. If one knows that the volume of a cone is (), then one can use Cavalieri's principle to derive the fact that the volume of a sphere is , where is the radius.

  8. Ruled surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruled_surface

    Definition of a ruled surface: every point lies on a line. In geometry, a surface in 3-dimensional Euclidean space S is ruled (also called a scroll) if through every point of S, there is a straight line that lies on S. Examples include the plane, the lateral surface of a cylinder or cone, a conical surface with elliptical directrix, the right ...

  9. Surface-area-to-volume ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface-area-to-volume_ratio

    The surface-area-to-volume ratio has physical dimension inverse length (L −1) and is therefore expressed in units of inverse metre (m -1) or its prefixed unit multiples and submultiples. As an example, a cube with sides of length 1 cm will have a surface area of 6 cm 2 and a volume of 1 cm 3. The surface to volume ratio for this cube is thus.
