  2. Plücker coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plücker_coordinates

    Then their respective planes are perpendicular to vectors a and b, and the direction of L must be perpendicular to both. Hence we may set d = a × b, which is nonzero because a, b are neither zero nor parallel (the planes being distinct and intersecting). If point x satisfies both plane equations, then it also satisfies the linear combination

  3. Isometric projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isometric_projection

    By rotating the cube by 45° on the x-axis, the point (1, 1, 1) will therefore become (1, 0, √ 2) as depicted in the diagram. The second rotation aims to bring the same point on the positive z -axis and so needs to perform a rotation of value equal to the arctangent of 1 ⁄ √ 2 which is approximately 35.264°.

  4. Cylindrical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylindrical_coordinate_system

    The z-axis is vertical and the x-axis is highlighted in green. The three surfaces intersect at the point P with those coordinates (shown as a black sphere); the Cartesian coordinates of P are roughly (1.0, −1.732, 1.0). Cylindrical coordinate surfaces. The three orthogonal components, ρ (green), φ (red), and z (blue), each increasing at a ...

    In addition to this, one may add a mirror plane perpendicular to the axis, giving the group C nh of order 2n, or a set of n mirror planes containing the axis, giving the group C nv, also of order 2n. The latter is the symmetry group for a regular n-sided pyramid. A typical object with symmetry group C n or D n is a propeller.

  6. Second polar moment of area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_polar_moment_of_area

    Where the planar second moment of area describes an object's resistance to deflection when subjected to a force applied to a plane parallel to the central axis, the polar second moment of area describes an object's resistance to deflection when subjected to a moment applied in a plane perpendicular to the object's central axis (i.e. parallel to ...

  7. Rotation matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_matrix

    The case of θ = 0, φ ≠ 0 is called a simple rotation, with two unit eigenvalues forming an axis plane, and a two-dimensional rotation orthogonal to the axis plane. Otherwise, there is no axis plane. The case of θ = φ is called an isoclinic rotation, having eigenvalues e ±iθ repeated twice, so every vector is rotated through an angle θ.

  8. Oblique projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblique_projection

    On the flat drawing, two axes, x and z on the figure, are perpendicular and the length on these axes are drawn with a 1:1 scale; it is thus similar to the dimetric projections, although it is not an axonometric projection, as the third axis, here y, is drawn in diagonal, making an arbitrary angle with the xaxis, usually 30 or 45°. The ...

  9. Duality (projective geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    The pole of the x-axis is the point of infinity of the vertical lines and the pole of the y-axis is the point of infinity of the horizontal lines. The construction of a correlation based on inversion in a circle given above can be generalized by using inversion in a conic section (in the extended real plane).
