  2. 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.

  3. Seven Bridges of Königsberg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Bridges_of_Königsberg

    Map of Königsberg in Euler's time showing the actual layout of the seven bridges, highlighting the river Pregel and the bridges. The Seven Bridges of Königsberg is a historically notable problem in mathematics. Its negative resolution by Leonhard Euler, in 1736, [1] laid the foundations of graph theory and prefigured the idea of topology. [2]

    The carat was once specified as four grains in the English-speaking world. Some local units in the English dominion were (re-)defined in simple terms of English units, such as the Indian tola of 180 grains. Tod This was an English weight for wool. [32] It has the alternative spelling forms of tode, todd, todde, toad, and tood. [33]

  5. Genus g surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genus_g_surface

    The genus (sometimes called the 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 − g , where g is the non-orientable ...

  6. Real projective plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_projective_plane

    It has Euler characteristic 1, hence a demigenus (non-orientable genus, Euler genus) of 1. The topological real projective plane can be constructed by taking the (single) edge of a Möbius strip and gluing it to itself in the correct direction, or by gluing the edge to a disk. Alternately, the real projective plane can be constructed by ...

  7. Contributions of Leonhard Euler to mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contributions_of_Leonhard...

    The 18th-century Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler (1707–1783) is among the most prolific and successful mathematicians in the history of the field. His seminal work had a profound impact in numerous areas of mathematics and he is widely credited for introducing and popularizing modern notation and terminology.

  8. Septimal tritone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Septimal_tritone

    The greater septimal tritone (also Euler's tritone), is an interval with ratio 10:7 [2] (617.49 cents). They are also known as the sub-fifth and super-fourth, or subminor fifth and supermajor fourth, respectively. [3] [4] The 7:5 interval (diminished fifth) is equal to a 6:5 minor third plus a 7:6 subminor third.

  9. Seven-dimensional space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven-dimensional_space

    When n = 7, the set of all such locations is called 7-dimensional space. Often such a space is studied as a vector space , without any notion of distance. Seven-dimensional Euclidean space is seven-dimensional space equipped with a Euclidean metric , which is defined by the dot product .
