    Therefore, it is not opposite day, but if you say it is a normal day it would be considered a normal day, which contradicts the fact that it has previously been stated that it is an opposite day. Richard's paradox : We appear to be able to use simple English to define a decimal expansion in a way that is self-contradictory.

  3. Proof by contradiction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_by_contradiction

    A typical example is the proof of the proposition "there is no smallest positive rational number": assume there is a smallest positive rational number q and derive a contradiction by observing that ⁠ q / 2 ⁠ is even smaller than q and still positive.

  4. Manifold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifold

    Examples include the plane, the sphere, and the torus, and also the Klein bottle and real projective plane. The concept of a manifold is central to many parts of geometry and modern mathematical physics because it allows complicated structures to be described in terms of well-understood topological properties of simpler spaces.

  5. Actual infinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actual_infinity

    Actual infinity is now commonly accepted in mathematics under the name "infinite set". Indeed, set theory has been formalized as the Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory (ZF). One of the axioms of ZF is the axiom of infinity, that essentially says that the natural numbers form a set. All mathematics has been rewritten in terms of ZF.

  6. Point at infinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_at_infinity

    The real line with the point at infinity; it is called the real projective line. In geometry, a point at infinity or ideal point is an idealized limiting point at the "end" of each line. In the case of an affine plane (including the Euclidean plane), there is one ideal point for each pencil of parallel lines of the plane.

  7. Kite (geometry) - Wikipedia

    The two line segments connecting opposite points of tangency have equal length. The tangent lengths, distances from a point of tangency to an adjacent vertex of the quadrilateral, are equal at two opposite vertices of the quadrilateral. (At each vertex, there are two adjacent points of tangency, but they are the same distance as each other from ...

  8. Line segment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_segment

    Examples of line segments include the sides of a triangle or square. More generally, when both of the segment's end points are vertices of a polygon or polyhedron , the line segment is either an edge (of that polygon or polyhedron) if they are adjacent vertices, or a diagonal .

  9. Antipodal point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antipodal_point

    In mathematics, two points of a sphere (or n-sphere, including a circle) are called antipodal or diametrically opposite if they are the endpoints of a diameter, a straight line segment between two points on a sphere and passing through its center.
