  2. Barycentric coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barycentric_coordinate_system

    Barycentric coordinates are strongly related to Cartesian coordinates and, more generally, affine coordinates.For a space of dimension n, these coordinate systems are defined relative to a point O, the origin, whose coordinates are zero, and n points , …,, whose coordinates are zero except that of index i that equals one.

  3. Barycenter (astronomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barycenter_(astronomy)

    In astronomy, the barycenter (or barycentre; from Ancient Greek βαρύς (barús) 'heavy' and κέντρον (kéntron) 'center') [1] is the center of mass of two or more bodies that orbit one another and is the point about which the bodies orbit. A barycenter is a dynamical point, not a physical object.

  4. Affine combination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affine_combination

    The elements x 1, ..., x n can also be points of a Euclidean space, and, more generally, of an affine space over a field K. In this case the α i {\displaystyle \alpha _{i}} are elements of K (or R {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} } for a Euclidean space), and the affine combination is also a point.

  5. Barycentric subdivision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barycentric_subdivision

    Iterate 1 to 4 barycentric subdivisions of 2-simplices. In mathematics, the barycentric subdivision is a standard way to subdivide a given simplex into smaller ones. Its extension on simplicial complexes is a canonical method to refine them. Therefore, the barycentric subdivision is an important tool in algebraic topology.

  6. Convex space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_space

    In mathematics, a convex space (or barycentric algebra) is a space in which it is possible to take convex combinations of any sets of points. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Formal Definition

  7. Center of mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_of_mass

    Let the percentage of the total mass divided between these two particles vary from 100% P 1 and 0% P 2 through 50% P 1 and 50% P 2 to 0% P 1 and 100% P 2, then the center of mass R moves along the line from P 1 to P 2. The percentages of mass at each point can be viewed as projective coordinates of the point R on this line, and are termed ...

  9. List of centroids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_centroids

    The following is a list of centroids of various two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects. The centroid of an object in -dimensional space is the intersection of all hyperplanes that divide into two parts of equal moment about the hyperplane.
