  2. Polar coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_coordinate_system

    The complex number z can be represented in rectangular form as = + where i is the imaginary unit, or can alternatively be written in polar form as = (⁡ + ⁡) and from there, by Euler's formula, [14] as = = ⁡. where e is Euler's number, and φ, expressed in radians, is the principal value of the complex number function arg applied to x + iy ...

  3. Rose (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Graphs of roses are composed of petals.A petal is the shape formed by the graph of a half-cycle of the sinusoid that specifies the rose. (A cycle is a portion of a sinusoid that is one period T = ⁠ 2π / k ⁠ long and consists of a positive half-cycle, the continuous set of points where r ≥ 0 and is ⁠ T / 2 ⁠ = ⁠ π / k ⁠ long, and a negative half-cycle is the other half where r ...

  4. Spherical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system

    Once the radius is fixed, the three coordinates (r, θ, φ), known as a 3-tuple, provide a coordinate system on a sphere, typically called the spherical polar coordinates. The plane passing through the origin and perpendicular to the polar axis (where the polar angle is a right angle) is called the reference plane (sometimes fundamental plane).

    "The Polar Express" came out in 2004, but fans may have missed these sneaky details. There are references to "Back to the Future," which shares a director with the Christmas film.. The level of ...

  6. Coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinate_system

    In the cylindrical coordinate system, a z-coordinate with the same meaning as in Cartesian coordinates is added to the r and θ polar coordinates giving a triple (r, θ, z). [8] Spherical coordinates take this a step further by converting the pair of cylindrical coordinates (r, z) to polar coordinates (ρ, φ) giving a triple (ρ, θ, φ). [9]

  7. Polar decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_decomposition

    In this polar decomposition, the unit circle has been replaced by the line x = 1, the polar angle by the slope y/x, and the radius x is negative in the left half-plane. If x 2 ≠ y 2, then the unit hyperbola x 2 − y 2 = 1 and its conjugate x 2 − y 2 = −1 can be used to form a polar decomposition based on the branch of the unit hyperbola ...

  9. Pere Marquette 1225 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pere_Marquette_1225

    No. 1225 was well known to be the basis for the locomotive used in the 2004 film The Polar Express, earning itself the nickname "the real Polar Express". The Pere Marquette used No. 1225 in regular service from the locomotive's construction in 1941 until the railroad merged into the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway (C&O) in 1947; It remained in use ...
