  2. Curve orientation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_orientation

    This definition relies on the fact that every simple closed curve admits a well-defined interior, which follows from the Jordan curve theorem. The inner loop of a beltway road in a country where people drive on the right side of the road is an example of a negatively oriented ( clockwise ) curve.

  3. Signed area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signed_area

    The blue area above the x-axis may be specified as positive area, while the yellow area below the x-axis is the negative area. The integral of a real function can be imagined as the signed area between the -axis and the curve = over an interval [a, b].

  4. Green's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green's_theorem

    Since in Green's theorem = (,) is a vector pointing tangential along the curve, and the curve C is the positively oriented (i.e. anticlockwise) curve along the boundary, an outward normal would be a vector which points 90° to the right of this; one choice would be (,).

  5. Line of beauty - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_of_beauty

    Serpentine lines from Hogarth's The Analysis of Beauty. Line of beauty is a term and a theory in art or aesthetics used to describe an S-shaped curved line (a serpentine line) appearing within an object, as the boundary line of an object, or as a virtual boundary line formed by the composition of several objects.

  6. Elements of art - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elements_of_art

    Positive space refers to the areas of the work with a subject, while negative space is the space without a subject. [6] Open and closed space coincides with three-dimensional art, like sculptures, where open spaces are empty, and closed spaces contain physical sculptural elements.

  7. Orientation (vector space) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orientation_(vector_space)

    The orientation of a real vector space or simply orientation of a vector space is the arbitrary choice of which ordered bases are "positively" oriented and which are "negatively" oriented. In the three-dimensional Euclidean space , right-handed bases are typically declared to be positively oriented, but the choice is arbitrary, as they may also ...

    Why the Pawtucket S curve exists on I-95. When the government was gearing up to build the interstate highway system in the 1950s, the main concern many people had was whether their land would be ...

  9. Orientability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orientability

    A torus is an orientable surface The Möbius strip is a non-orientable surface. Note how the disk flips with every loop. The Roman surface is non-orientable.. In mathematics, orientability is a property of some topological spaces such as real vector spaces, Euclidean spaces, surfaces, and more generally manifolds that allows a consistent definition of "clockwise" and "anticlockwise".
