  2. Hyperbolic geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_geometry

    A triangle immersed in a saddle-shape plane (a hyperbolic paraboloid), along with two diverging ultra-parallel lines. In mathematics, hyperbolic geometry (also called Lobachevskian geometry or Bolyai–Lobachevskian geometry) is a non-Euclidean geometry.

  3. Paraboloid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraboloid

    A hyperbolic paraboloid with lines contained in it Pringles fried snacks are in the shape of a hyperbolic paraboloid. The hyperbolic paraboloid is a doubly ruled surface: it contains two families of mutually skew lines. The lines in each family are parallel to a common plane, but not to each other. Hence the hyperbolic paraboloid is a conoid.

  4. Ruled surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruled_surface

    The hyperbolic paraboloid and the hyperboloid of one sheet are doubly ruled surfaces. The plane is the only surface which contains at least three distinct lines through each of its points (Fuchs & Tabachnikov 2007). The properties of being ruled or doubly ruled are preserved by projective maps, and therefore are concepts of projective geometry.

  5. List of hyperboloid structures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hyperboloid_structures

    The hyperbolic paraboloid is a doubly ruled surface, and thus can be used to construct a saddle roof from straight beams. A saddle roof is a hyperbolic paraboloid , that mathematically, as a doubly ruled surface , can be constructed from two rows of straight beams.

  6. Hyperboloid structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperboloid_structure

    Antoni Gaudi used structures in the form of hyperbolic paraboloid (hypar) and hyperboloid of revolution in the Sagrada Família in 1910. [4] In the Sagrada Família, there are a few places on the nativity facade – a design not equated with Gaudi's ruled-surface design, where the hyperboloid crops up. All around the scene with the pelican ...

  7. Saddle point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saddle_point

    Hyperbolic paraboloid A model of an elliptic hyperboloid of one sheet A monkey saddle. A saddle surface is a smooth surface containing one or more saddle points.. Classical examples of two-dimensional saddle surfaces in the Euclidean space are second order surfaces, the hyperbolic paraboloid = (which is often referred to as "the saddle surface" or "the standard saddle surface") and the ...

  8. Constructions in hyperbolic geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructions_in...

    Hyperbolic geometry is a non-Euclidean geometry where the first four axioms of Euclidean geometry are kept but the fifth axiom, the parallel postulate, is changed.The fifth axiom of hyperbolic geometry says that given a line L and a point P not on that line, there are at least two lines passing through P that are parallel to L. [1]

  9. Hyperboloid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperboloid

    In geometry, a hyperboloid of revolution, sometimes called a circular hyperboloid, is the surface generated by rotating a hyperbola around one of its principal axes.A hyperboloid is the surface obtained from a hyperboloid of revolution by deforming it by means of directional scalings, or more generally, of an affine transformation.
