  2. Quadric (algebraic geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadric_(algebraic_geometry)

    The two families of lines on a smooth (split) quadric surface. In mathematics, a quadric or quadric hypersurface is the subspace of N-dimensional space defined by a polynomial equation of degree 2 over a field. Quadrics are fundamental examples in algebraic geometry. The theory is simplified by working in projective space rather than affine ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadric

    In mathematics, a quadric or quadric surface (quadric hypersurface in higher dimensions), is a generalization of conic sections (ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas).It is a hypersurface (of dimension D) in a (D + 1)-dimensional space, and it is defined as the zero set of an irreducible polynomial of degree two in D + 1 variables; for example, D = 1 in the case of conic sections.

  4. List of second moments of area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_second_moments_of_area

    The second moment of area, also known as area moment of inertia, is a geometrical property of an area which reflects how its points are distributed with respect to an arbitrary axis. The unit of dimension of the second moment of area is length to fourth power, L 4, and should not be confused with the mass moment of inertia.

    For example, the unit sphere is an algebraic surface, as it may be defined by the implicit equation x 2 + y 2 + z 2 − 1 = 0. {\displaystyle x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}-1=0.} A surface may also be defined as the image , in some space of dimension at least 3, of a continuous function of two variables (some further conditions are required to ensure that ...

    For example, a hyperboloid of one sheet is a quadric surface in ⁠ ⁠ ruled by two different families of lines, one line of each passing through each point of the surface; each family corresponds under the Plücker map to a conic section within the Klein quadric in ⁠ ⁠.

  7. Area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area

    Calculation of the area of a square whose length and width are 1 metre would be: 1 metre × 1 metre = 1 m 2. and so, a rectangle with different sides (say length of 3 metres and width of 2 metres) would have an area in square units that can be calculated as: 3 metres × 2 metres = 6 m 2. This is equivalent to 6 million square millimetres.

  8. Adjunction formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjunction_formula

    Similarly, [3] if C is a smooth curve on the quadric surface P 1 ×P 1 with bidegree (d 1,d 2) (meaning d 1,d 2 are its intersection degrees with a fiber of each projection to P 1), since the canonical class of P 1 ×P 1 has bidegree (−2,−2), the adjunction formula shows that the canonical class of C is the intersection product of divisors ...

  9. Surface area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_area

    A sphere of radius r has surface area 4πr 2.. The surface area (symbol A) of a solid object is a measure of the total area that the surface of the object occupies. [1] The mathematical definition of surface area in the presence of curved surfaces is considerably more involved than the definition of arc length of one-dimensional curves, or of the surface area for polyhedra (i.e., objects with ...
