  2. Hand geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_geometry

    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 ...

  3. Classification of manifolds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classification_of_manifolds

    There are two usual ways to give a classification: explicitly, by an enumeration, or implicitly, in terms of invariants. For instance, for orientable surfaces, the classification of surfaces enumerates them as the connected sum of tori, and an invariant that classifies them is the genus or Euler characteristic.

  4. Quaternion-Kähler manifold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternion-Kähler_manifold

    Marcel Berger's 1955 paper [1] on the classification of Riemannian holonomy groups first raised the issue of the existence of non-symmetric manifolds with holonomy Sp(n)·Sp(1).Interesting results were proved in the mid-1960s in pioneering work by Edmond Bonan [2] and Kraines [3] who have independently proven that any such manifold admits a parallel 4-form .The long awaited analog of strong ...

  6. Van Hiele model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Hiele_model

    The model has greatly influenced geometry curricula throughout the world through emphasis on analyzing properties and classification of shapes at early grade levels. In the United States, the theory has influenced the geometry strand of the Standards published by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the Common Core Standards.

  7. Genus (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genus_(mathematics)

    For example, the definition of elliptic curve from algebraic geometry is connected non-singular projective curve of genus 1 with a given rational point on it. By the Riemann–Roch theorem , an irreducible plane curve of degree d {\displaystyle d} given by the vanishing locus of a section s ∈ Γ ( P 2 , O P 2 ( d ) ) {\displaystyle s\in ...

  8. Surface (topology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_(topology)

    The classification theorem of closed surfaces states that any connected closed surface is homeomorphic to some member of one of these three families: the sphere, the connected sum of g tori for g ≥ 1, the connected sum of k real projective planes for k ≥ 1. The surfaces in the first two families are orientable. It is convenient to combine ...

  9. Human taxonomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_taxonomy

    The taxonomic classification of humans following John Edward Gray (1825) Human taxonomy on one hand involves the placement of humans within the taxonomy of the hominids (great apes), and on the other the division of archaic and modern humans into species and, if applicable, subspecies.
