  2. Vertex (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertex_(geometry)

    where V is the number of vertices, E is the number of edges, and F is the number of faces. This equation is known as Euler's polyhedron formula. Thus the number of vertices is 2 more than the excess of the number of edges over the number of faces. For example, since a cube has 12 edges and 6 faces, the formula implies that it has eight vertices.

  3. Vertex (curve) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertex_(curve)

    The dots are the vertices of the curve, each corresponding to a cusp on the evolute. In the geometry of plane curves , a vertex is a point of where the first derivative of curvature is zero. [ 1 ] This is typically a local maximum or minimum of curvature, [ 2 ] and some authors define a vertex to be more specifically a local extremum of ...

  4. Vertex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertex

    Vertex (geometry), a point where two or more curves, lines, or edges meet Vertex (computer graphics), a data structure that describes the position of a point Vertex (curve), a point of a plane curve where the first derivative of curvature is zero

  5. Vertex figure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertex_figure

    By considering the connectivity of these neighboring vertices, a vertex figure can be constructed for each vertex of a polytope: Each vertex of the vertex figure coincides with a vertex of the original polytope. Each edge of the vertex figure exists on or inside of a face of the original polytope connecting two alternate vertices from an ...

  6. Graph (discrete mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_(discrete_mathematics)

    A graph with three vertices and three edges. A graph (sometimes called an undirected graph to distinguish it from a directed graph, or a simple graph to distinguish it from a multigraph) [4] [5] is a pair G = (V, E), where V is a set whose elements are called vertices (singular: vertex), and E is a set of unordered pairs {,} of vertices, whose elements are called edges (sometimes links or lines).

  8. Glossary of physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_physics

    In physics, the term sometimes refers collectively to electromagnetic radiation of any wavelength, in which case light includes gamma rays, X-rays, microwaves, and radio waves, but in common usage "light" more often refers specifically to visible light. linear actuator A form of motor that generates a linear movement directly. linear algebra

  9. Graph theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_theory

    A drawing of a graph with 6 vertices and 7 edges. In mathematics and computer science, graph theory is the study of graphs, which are mathematical structures used to model pairwise relations between objects. A graph in this context is made up of vertices (also called nodes or points) which are connected by edges (also called arcs, links or lines).
