  2. Rotamer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotamer

    Above: Newman projection; below: depiction of spatial orientation. In chemistry, rotamers are chemical species that differ from one another primarily due to rotations about one or more single bonds. Various arrangements of atoms in a molecule that differ by rotation about single bonds can also be referred to as different conformations ...

  3. Conformal map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conformal_map

    The function is called the conformal factor. A diffeomorphism between two Riemannian manifolds is called a conformal map if the pulled back metric is conformally equivalent to the original one. For example, stereographic projection of a sphere onto the plane augmented with a point at infinity is a conformal map.

  4. Conformal map projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conformal_map_projection

    In cartography, a conformal map projection is one in which every angle between two curves that cross each other on Earth (a sphere or an ellipsoid) is preserved in the image of the projection; that is, the projection is a conformal map in the mathematical sense. For example, if two roads cross each other at a 39° angle, their images on a map ...

  5. List of map projections - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_map_projections

    A family of map projections that includes as special cases Mollweide projection, Collignon projection, and the various cylindrical equal-area projections. 1932 Wagner VI: Pseudocylindrical Compromise K. H. Wagner: Equivalent to Kavrayskiy VII vertically compressed by a factor of /. c. 1865: Collignon

  6. Conformal Killing vector field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conformal_Killing_vector_field

    Several equivalent formulations, called the conformal Killing equation, exist in terms of the Lie derivative of the flow e.g. = for some function on the manifold. For n ≠ 2 {\displaystyle n\neq 2} there are a finite number of solutions, specifying the conformal symmetry of that space, but in two dimensions, there is an infinity of solutions .

  7. Stereographic map projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereographic_map_projection

    The stereographic projection, also known as the planisphere projection or the azimuthal conformal projection, is a conformal map projection whose use dates back to antiquity. Like the orthographic projection and gnomonic projection , the stereographic projection is an azimuthal projection , and when on a sphere, also a perspective projection .

    Lessons in Chemistry is finally on AppleTV+, which means fans of Bonnie Garmus’ bestselling novel are on the lookout for any and all ways the show is different from its beloved source material.

  9. Clifford torus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clifford_torus

    A stereographic projection of a Clifford torus performing a simple rotation Topologically a rectangle is the fundamental polygon of a torus, with opposite edges sewn together. In geometric topology , the Clifford torus is the simplest and most symmetric flat embedding of the Cartesian product of two circles S 1
