  2. Straightedge and compass construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straightedge_and_compass...

    Many of these problems are easily solvable provided that other geometric transformations are allowed; for example, neusis construction can be used to solve the former two problems. In terms of algebra , a length is constructible if and only if it represents a constructible number , and an angle is constructible if and only if its cosine is a ...

  3. Goniometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goniometer

    A half-circle protractor marked in degrees (180°). A protractor is a measuring instrument, typically made of transparent plastic, for measuring angles. Some protractors are simple half-discs or full circles. More advanced protractors, such as the bevel protractor, have one or two swinging arms, which can be used to help measure the angle.

  4. Thousands of Problems for Theorem Provers - Wikipedia

    TPTP (Thousands of Problems for Theorem Provers) [1] is a freely available collection of problems for automated theorem proving. It is used to evaluate the efficacy of automated reasoning algorithms. [2] [3] [4] Problems are expressed in a simple text-based format for first order logic or higher-order logic. [5]

  5. Virtual patient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_patient

    The use of virtual patients is increasing in healthcare due to increased demand for healthcare professionals and education of healthcare trainees, and provides learners with a safe practice environment. [2] There are many formats from which a virtual patient may be chosen, but the overarching principle is that of interactivity. Virtual patients ...

  6. Virtual work - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_work

    If the principle of virtual work for applied forces is used on individual particles of a rigid body, the principle can be generalized for a rigid body: When a rigid body that is in equilibrium is subject to virtual compatible displacements, the total virtual work of all external forces is zero; and conversely, if the total virtual work of all ...

  7. Snellius–Pothenot problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snellius–Pothenot_problem

    In trigonometry, the Snellius–Pothenot problem is a problem first described in the context of planar surveying.Given three known points A, B, C, an observer at an unknown point P observes that the line segment AC subtends an angle α and the segment CB subtends an angle β; the problem is to determine the position of the point P.

  9. Stress (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_(mechanics)

    The external body forces appear as the independent ("right-hand side") term in the differential equations, while the concentrated forces appear as boundary conditions. The basic stress analysis problem is therefore a boundary-value problem. Stress analysis for elastic structures is based on the theory of elasticity and infinitesimal strain theory.
