    Consider the affine algebraic plane curve defined by the equation = +. Its function field is the field K ( x , y ), generated by elements x and y that are transcendental over K and satisfy the algebraic relation y 2 = x 5 + 1 {\displaystyle y^{2}=x^{5}+1} .

    An a × b rectangle can be packed with 1 × n strips if and only if n divides a or n divides b. [ 15 ] [ 16 ] de Bruijn's theorem : A box can be packed with a harmonic brick a × a b × a b c if the box has dimensions a p × a b q × a b c r for some natural numbers p , q , r (i.e., the box is a multiple of the brick.) [ 15 ]

  4. Sphere packing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphere_packing

    Sphere packing finds practical application in the stacking of cannonballs. In geometry, a sphere packing is an arrangement of non-overlapping spheres within a containing space. The spheres considered are usually all of identical size, and the space is usually three-dimensional Euclidean space.

  5. Close-packing of equal spheres - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close-packing_of_equal_spheres

    The distance between the centers along the shortest path namely that straight line will therefore be r 1 + r 2 where r 1 is the radius of the first sphere and r 2 is the radius of the second. In close packing all of the spheres share a common radius, r. Therefore, two centers would simply have a distance 2r.

  6. Linear fractional transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_fractional...

    Each model has a group of isometries that is a subgroup of the Mobius group: the isometry group for the disk model is SU(1, 1) where the linear fractional transformations are "special unitary", and for the upper half-plane the isometry group is PSL(2, R), a projective linear group of linear fractional transformations with real entries and ...

    S ‍ 1: a 1-sphere is a circle of radius r; S ‍ 2: a 2-sphere is an ordinary sphere; S ‍ 3: a 3-sphere is a sphere in 4-dimensional Euclidean space. Spheres for n > 2 are sometimes called hyperspheres. The n-sphere of unit radius centered at the origin is denoted S ‍ n and is often referred to as "the" n-sphere. The ordinary sphere is a ...

  8. Spherical geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_geometry

    Since spherical geometry violates the parallel postulate, there exists no such triangle on the surface of a sphere. The sum of the angles of a triangle on a sphere is 180°(1 + 4f), where f is the fraction of the sphere's surface that is enclosed by the triangle.
