  2. Polar coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_coordinate_system

    The equation defining a plane curve expressed in polar coordinates is known as a polar equation. In many cases, such an equation can simply be specified by defining r as a function of φ . The resulting curve then consists of points of the form ( r ( φ ), φ ) and can be regarded as the graph of the polar function r .

  3. Fermat's spiral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermat's_spiral

    Let φ 1 = 0, φ 2 = 2π; then the area of the black region (see diagram) is A 0 = a 2 π 2, which is half of the area of the circle K 0 with radius r(2π). The regions between neighboring curves (white, blue, yellow) have the same area A = 2a 2 π 2. Hence: The area between two arcs of the spiral after a full turn equals the area of the circle ...

  4. Solid of revolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_of_revolution

    Two common methods for finding the volume of a solid of revolution are the disc method and the shell method of integration.To apply these methods, it is easiest to draw the graph in question; identify the area that is to be revolved about the axis of revolution; determine the volume of either a disc-shaped slice of the solid, with thickness δx, or a cylindrical shell of width δx; and then ...

  5. Spherical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system

    In mathematics, a spherical coordinate system specifies a given point in three-dimensional space by using a distance and two angles as its three coordinates. These are the radial distance r along the line connecting the point to a fixed point called the origin; the polar angle θ between this radial line and a given polar axis; [a] and

  6. Lemniscate of Bernoulli - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemniscate_of_Bernoulli

    The area enclosed by the lemniscate is a 2 = 2c 2. The lemniscate is the circle inversion of a hyperbola and vice versa. The two tangents at the midpoint O are perpendicular, and each of them forms an angle of ⁠ π / 4 ⁠ with the line connecting F 1 and F 2. The planar cross-section of a standard torus tangent to its inner equator is a ...

  7. Folium of Descartes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folium_of_Descartes

    Implicit differentiation gives the formula for the slope of the tangent line to this curve to be [3] =. Using either one of the polar representations above, the area of the interior of the loop is found to be 3 a 2 / 2 {\displaystyle 3a^{2}/2} .

  8. Archimedean spiral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedean_spiral

    Equivalently, in polar coordinates (r, θ) it can be described by the equation = with real number b. Changing the parameter b controls the distance between loops. From the above equation, it can thus be stated: position of the particle from point of start is proportional to angle θ as time elapses.

  9. Multiple integral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_integral

    Integral as area between two curves. Double integral as volume under a surface z = 10 − (⁠ x 2 − y 2 / 8 ⁠).The rectangular region at the bottom of the body is the domain of integration, while the surface is the graph of the two-variable function to be integrated.
