  2. Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_dimensioning_and...

    Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing ( GD&T) is a system for defining and communicating engineering tolerances via a symbolic language on engineering drawings and computer-generated 3D models that describes a physical object's nominal geometry and the permissible variation thereof. GD&T is used to define the nominal (theoretically perfect ...

  3. Engineering drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_drawing

    v. t. e. An engineering drawing is a type of technical drawing that is used to convey information about an object. A common use is to specify the geometry necessary for the construction of a component and is called a detail drawing. Usually, a number of drawings are necessary to completely specify even a simple component.

    Engineering drawing abbreviations and symbols are used to communicate and detail the characteristics of an engineering drawing. This list includes abbreviations common to the vocabulary of people who work with engineering drawings in the manufacture and inspection of parts and assemblies. Technical standards exist to provide glossaries of ...

  5. Technical drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_drawing

    Technical drawing, drafting or drawing, is the act and discipline of composing drawings that visually communicate how something functions or is constructed. Technical drawing is essential for communicating ideas in industry and engineering . To make the drawings easier to understand, people use familiar symbols, perspectives, units of ...

  6. Number theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_theory

    Mathematics. Number theory (or arithmetic or higher arithmetic in older usage) is a branch of pure mathematics devoted primarily to the study of the integers and arithmetic functions. German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777–1855) said, "Mathematics is the queen of the sciences—and number theory is the queen of mathematics." [ 1]

    Colloquially, the term "artificial intelligence" is applied when a machine mimics "cognitive" functions that humans associate with other human minds, such as "learning" and "problem solving". [24] Assembly drawing – see Technical drawing. Automaton clock – An automaton clock or automata clock is a type of striking clock featuring automatons ...

  8. Tolerance analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tolerance_analysis

    Tolerance analysis is the general term for activities related to the study of accumulated variation in mechanical parts and assemblies. Its methods may be used on other types of systems subject to accumulated variation, such as mechanical and electrical systems. Engineers analyze tolerances for the purpose of evaluating geometric dimensioning ...
