Geometry of a hand and some examples of measurements that can be taken by hand geometry reading devices. [1] A hand geometry reading device with pegs to control the placement of the hand. Angled mirror on the left reflects the side view image of the hand to the camera. A CCD camera is beneath the keypad to take the top view image of the hand ...
The Chisanbop system. When a finger is touching the table, it contributes its corresponding number to a total. Chisanbop or chisenbop (from Korean chi (ji) finger + sanpŏp (sanbeop) calculation [1] 지산법/指算法), sometimes called Fingermath, [2] is a finger counting method used to perform basic mathematical operations.
Woodworking hand tools (6 C, 82 P) Pages in category "Hand tools" The following 51 pages are in this category, out of 51 total. This list may not reflect recent ...
Also called infinitesimal calculus A foundation of calculus, first developed in the 17th century, that makes use of infinitesimal numbers. Calculus of moving surfaces an extension of the theory of tensor calculus to include deforming manifolds. Calculus of variations the field dedicated to maximizing or minimizing functionals. It used to be called functional calculus. Catastrophe theory a ...
Mathematical visualization is used throughout mathematics, particularly in the fields of geometry and analysis. Notable examples include plane curves , space curves , polyhedra , ordinary differential equations , partial differential equations (particularly numerical solutions, as in fluid dynamics or minimal surfaces such as soap films ...
Geometric modeling is a branch of applied mathematics and computational geometry that studies methods and algorithms for the mathematical description of shapes. The shapes studied in geometric modeling are mostly two- or three-dimensional (solid figures), although many of its tools and principles can be applied to sets of any finite dimension ...
Shape analysis is the (mostly) [clarification needed] automatic analysis of geometric shapes, for example using a computer to detect similarly shaped objects in a database or parts that fit together. For a computer to automatically analyze and process geometric shapes, the objects have to be represented in a digital form.
Geometric analysis also includes global analysis, which concerns the study of differential equations on manifolds, and the relationship between differential equations and topology. The following is a partial list of major topics within geometric analysis: Gauge theory; Harmonic maps; Kähler–Einstein metrics; Mean curvature flow; Minimal ...
