  2. Euler characteristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_characteristic

    Its Euler characteristic is 0, by the product property. More generally, any compact parallelizable manifold, including any compact Lie group, has Euler characteristic 0. [13] The Euler characteristic of any closed odd-dimensional manifold is also 0. [14] The case for orientable examples is a corollary of Poincaré duality.

  3. Riemann–Hurwitz formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann–Hurwitz_formula

    In calculating the Euler characteristic of S′ we notice the loss of e P − 1 copies of P above π(P) (that is, in the inverse image of π(P)). Now let us choose triangulations of S and S′ with vertices at the branch and ramification points, respectively, and use these to compute the Euler characteristics.

  4. Spherical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system

    Once the radius is fixed, the three coordinates (r, θ, φ), known as a 3-tuple, provide a coordinate system on a sphere, typically called the spherical polar coordinates. The plane passing through the origin and perpendicular to the polar axis (where the polar angle is a right angle ) is called the reference plane (sometimes fundamental plane ).

  5. Spherical geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_geometry

    The Book of Unknown Arcs of a Sphere written by the Islamic mathematician Al-Jayyani is considered to be the first treatise on spherical trigonometry. The book contains formulae for right-handed triangles, the general law of sines, and the solution of a spherical triangle by means of the polar triangle. [5]

  6. Genus (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genus_(mathematics)

    The non-orientable genus, demigenus, or Euler genus of a connected, non-orientable closed surface is a positive integer representing the number of cross-caps attached to a sphere. Alternatively, it can be defined for a closed surface in terms of the Euler characteristic χ, via the relationship χ = 2 − k , where k is the non-orientable genus.

  8. Euler class - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_class

    Thus the Euler class is a generalization of the Euler characteristic to vector bundles other than tangent bundles. In turn, the Euler class is the archetype for other characteristic classes of vector bundles, in that each "top" characteristic class equals the Euler class, as follows. Modding out by 2 induces a map
