  2. Area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area

    Area plays an important role in modern mathematics. In addition to its obvious importance in geometry and calculus, area is related to the definition of determinants in linear algebra, and is a basic property of surfaces in differential geometry. [8]

  3. Surface (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, a surface is a mathematical model of the common concept of a surface. It is a generalization of a plane, but, unlike a plane, it may be curved; this is analogous to a curve generalizing a straight line. There are several more precise definitions, depending on the context and the mathematical tools that are used for the study.

    An area of mathematics connected by the fundamental theorem of calculus. [7] Calculus of infinitesimals. Also called infinitesimal calculus. A foundation of calculus, first developed in the 17th century, [8] that makes use of infinitesimal numbers. Calculus of moving surfaces an extension of the theory of tensor calculus to include deforming ...

  5. Built-up area (Highway Code) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Built-up_area_(Highway_Code)

    In 1930, the concept of specific regulation for roads within built-up areas appears. It defines the road as a road within built-up area if some system of street lighting exists at less than 200 yards (183 meters) from that road, unless decided other way by the local authority and written on traffic signs.

Commonly used for denoting any strict order. 3. Between two groups, may mean that the second one is a proper subgroup of the first one. ≤ 1.

  7. Urban area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_area

    In France, an urban area (Fr: aire d'attraction d'une ville) is a zone encompassing an area of built-up growth (called an "urban unit" (unité urbaine) [41] – close in definition to the North American urban area) and its commuter belt . Americans would find the INSEE definition of the urban area [42] to be similar to their metropolitan area.

  8. Constructible number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructible_number

    The square root of 2 is equal to the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of length 1 and is therefore a constructible number. In geometry and algebra, a real number is constructible if and only if, given a line segment of unit length, a line segment of length | | can be constructed with compass and straightedge in a finite number of steps.
