  2. Ovoid (projective geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovoid_(projective_geometry)

    In a finite projective space of order n >2 (i.e. any line contains exactly n + 1 points) and dimension d = 3 any pointset is an ovoid if and only if | | = + and no three points are collinear (on a common line). [3] Replacing the word projective in the definition of an ovoid by affine, gives the definition of an affine ovoid.

  4. Sigmoid function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigmoid_function

    A sigmoid function is any mathematical function whose graph has a characteristic S-shaped or sigmoid curve. A common example of a sigmoid function is the logistic function, which is defined by the formula: [1] = + = + = ().

    The generation of a bicylinder Calculating the volume of a bicylinder. A bicylinder generated by two cylinders with radius r has the volume =, and the surface area [1] [6] =.. The upper half of a bicylinder is the square case of a domical vault, a dome-shaped solid based on any convex polygon whose cross-sections are similar copies of the polygon, and analogous formulas calculating the volume ...

  6. Tetrahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahedron

    The volume of a tetrahedron can be obtained in many ways. It can be given by using the formula of the pyramid's volume: =. where is the base' area and is the height from the base to the apex. This applies for each of the four choices of the base, so the distances from the apices to the opposite faces are inversely proportional to the areas of ...

  8. Characteristic length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characteristic_length

    In physics, a characteristic length is an important dimension that defines the scale of a physical system. Often, such a length is used as an input to a formula in order to predict some characteristics of the system, and it is usually required by the construction of a dimensionless quantity, in the general framework of dimensional analysis and in particular applications such as fluid mechanics.

  9. Rhombicuboctahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombicuboctahedron

    The volume of a rhombicuboctahedron can be determined by slicing it into two square cupolas and one octagonal prism. Given that the edge length a {\displaystyle a} , its surface area and volume is: [ 7 ] A = ( 18 + 2 3 ) a 2 ≈ 21.464 a 2 , V = 12 + 10 2 3 a 3 ≈ 8.714 a 3 . {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}A&=\left(18+2{\sqrt {3}}\right)a^{2 ...
