  2. Section (fiber bundle) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_(fiber_bundle)

    A section of a tangent vector bundle is a vector field. A vector bundle over a base with section . In the mathematical field of topology, a section (or cross section) [1] of a fiber bundle is a continuous right inverse of the projection function.

  3. Cross section (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_section_(geometry)

    For instance, while all the cross-sections of a ball are disks, [2] the cross-sections of a cube depend on how the cutting plane is related to the cube. If the cutting plane is perpendicular to a line joining the centers of two opposite faces of the cube, the cross-section will be a square, however, if the cutting plane is perpendicular to a ...

  4. Lemniscate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemniscate

    In algebraic geometry, a lemniscate (/ l ɛ m ˈ n ɪ s k ɪ t / or / ˈ l ɛ m n ɪ s ˌ k eɪ t,-k ɪ t /) [1] is any of several figure-eight or ∞-shaped curves. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The word comes from the Latin lēmniscātus , meaning "decorated with ribbons", [ 4 ] from the Greek λημνίσκος ( lēmnískos ), meaning "ribbon", [ 3 ] [ 5 ...

  5. Dividing a circle into areas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dividing_a_circle_into_areas

    The number of points (n), chords (c) and regions (r G) for first 6 terms of Moser's circle problem. In geometry, the problem of dividing a circle into areas by means of an inscribed polygon with n sides in such a way as to maximise the number of areas created by the edges and diagonals, sometimes called Moser's circle problem (named after Leo Moser), has a solution by an inductive method.

  6. Cavalieri's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavalieri's_principle

    1. A cone and a cylinder have radius r and height h. 2. The volume ratio is maintained when the height is scaled to h' = r √ π. 3. Decompose it into thin slices. 4. Using Cavalieri's principle, reshape each slice into a square of the same area. 5. The pyramid is replicated twice. 6. Combining them into a cube shows that the volume ratio is 1:3.

  7. Borromean rings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borromean_rings

    In the tables of knots and links in Dale Rolfsen's 1976 book Knots and Links, extending earlier listings in the 1920s by Alexander and Briggs, the Borromean rings were given the Alexander–Briggs notation "6 3 2", meaning that this is the second of three 6-crossing 3-component links to be listed.

  8. Voronoi diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voronoi_diagram

    In general, a cross section of a 3D Voronoi tessellation is a power diagram, a weighted form of a 2d Voronoi diagram, rather than being an unweighted Voronoi diagram. Voronoi tessellations of regular lattices of points in two or three dimensions give rise to many familiar tessellations.

  9. Poincaré map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poincaré_map

    A two-dimensional Poincaré section of the forced Duffing equation. In mathematics, particularly in dynamical systems, a first recurrence map or Poincaré map, named after Henri Poincaré, is the intersection of a periodic orbit in the state space of a continuous dynamical system with a certain lower-dimensional subspace, called the Poincaré section, transversal to the flow of the system.
