  2. Schoenflies notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schoenflies_notation

    By convention, the axis of proper rotation of greatest order is defined as the principal axis. All other symmetry elements are described in relation to it. A vertical mirror plane (containing the principal axis) is denoted σ v; a horizontal mirror plane (perpendicular to the principal axis) is denoted σ h.

  3. Writing system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Writing_system

    For broader coverage of this topic, see Writing. A writing system comprises a set of symbols, called a script, as well as the rules by which the script represents a particular language. The earliest writing was invented during the late 4th millennium BC. Throughout history, each writing system invented without prior knowledge of writing gradually evolved from a system of proto-writing that ...

  4. Point groups in three dimensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_groups_in_three...

    Those with reflection in the planes through the axis, with or without reflection in the plane through the origin perpendicular to the axis, are the symmetry groups for the two types of cylindrical symmetry. Any 3D shape (subset of R 3) having infinite rotational symmetry must also have mirror symmetry for every plane through the axis. Physical ...

    D 2d, [2 +,4], (2*2): if one face has a line segment dividing the face into two equal rectangles, and the opposite has the same in perpendicular direction, the cube has 8 isometries; there is a symmetry plane and 2-fold rotational symmetry with an axis at an angle of 45° to that plane, and, as a result, there is also another symmetry plane ...

  7. Reactances of synchronous machines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactances_of_synchronous...

    The air gap of the machines with a salient pole rotor is quite different along the pole axis (so called direct axis) and in the orthogonal direction (so called quadrature axis). Andre Blondel in 1899 proposed in his paper "Empirical Theory of Synchronous Generators" the two reactions theory that divided the armature magnetomotive force (MMF ...

  8. Reverse Polish notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_Polish_notation

    Video: Keys pressed for calculating eight times six on a HP-32SII (employing RPN) from 1991. Reverse Polish notation (RPN), also known as reverse Ɓukasiewicz notation, Polish postfix notation or simply postfix notation, is a mathematical notation in which operators follow their operands, in contrast to prefix or Polish notation (PN), in which operators precede their operands.

  9. Line length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_length

    The first of these methods consists of an adjacency matrix that positions the LCA in points on the x axis and the line length in picas on the y axis. The matrix is used by locating the number closest to the previously calculated LCA on the left column of the matrix and then scanning across the columns the number of characters that one would ...
