  2. Parametric equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parametric_equation

    Such a parametric equation is called a parametric form of the solution of the system. [ 10 ] The standard method for computing a parametric form of the solution is to use Gaussian elimination for computing a reduced row echelon form of the augmented matrix.

  3. Lissajous curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lissajous_curve

    Another simple Lissajous figure is the parabola (⁠ b / a ⁠ = 2, δ = ⁠ π / 4 ⁠). Again a small shift of one frequency from the ratio 2 will result in the trace not closing but performing multiple loops successively shifted only closing if the ratio is rational as before. A complex dense pattern may form see below.

  4. Rotation matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_matrix

    where for every direction in the base space, S n, the fiber over it in the total space, SO(n + 1), is a copy of the fiber space, SO(n), namely the rotations that keep that direction fixed. Thus we can build an n × n rotation matrix by starting with a 2 × 2 matrix, aiming its fixed axis on S 2 (the ordinary sphere in three-dimensional space ...

  5. Parabolic coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_coordinates

    The two-dimensional parabolic coordinates form the basis for two sets of three-dimensional orthogonal coordinates. The parabolic cylindrical coordinates are produced by projecting in the -direction. Rotation about the symmetry axis of the parabolae produces a set of confocal paraboloids, the coordinate system of tridimensional parabolic ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraboloid

    a line, if the plane is parallel to the z-axis, and has an equation of the form + =, a parabola, if the plane is parallel to the z-axis, and the section is not a line, a pair of intersecting lines, if the plane is a tangent plane, a hyperbola, otherwise. STL hyperbolic paraboloid model

  7. Parabola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabola

    In the theory of quadratic forms, the parabola is the graph of the quadratic form x 2 (or other scalings), while the elliptic paraboloid is the graph of the positive-definite quadratic form x 2 + y 2 (or scalings), and the hyperbolic paraboloid is the graph of the indefinite quadratic form x 2 − y 2. Generalizations to more variables yield ...

  8. Parabolic trajectory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_trajectory

    The green path in this image is an example of a parabolic trajectory. A parabolic trajectory is depicted in the bottom-left quadrant of this diagram, where the gravitational potential well of the central mass shows potential energy, and the kinetic energy of the parabolic trajectory is shown in red.

  9. Wave packet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_packet

    The Airy wave train in phase space. Its shape is a series of parabolas with the same axis, but oscillating according to the Airy function. Its time-evolution is a shearing along the -direction. Each parabola retains its shape under this shearing, and its apex performs a translation along another parabola.
