  2. Tiled web map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiled_web_map

    A tiled web map, slippy map [1] (in OpenStreetMap terminology) or tile map is a map displayed in a web browser by seamlessly joining dozens of individually requested image or vector data files. It is the most popular way to display and navigate maps, replacing other methods such as Web Map Service (WMS) which typically display a single large ...

  3. Dymaxion map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dymaxion_map

    The Dymaxion map projection, also called the Fuller projection, is a kind of polyhedral map projection of the Earth's surface onto the unfolded net of an icosahedron. The resulting map is heavily interrupted in order to reduce shape and size distortion compared to other world maps , but the interruptions are chosen to lie in the ocean.

  4. Choropleth map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choropleth_map

    The earliest known choropleth map was created in 1826 by Baron Pierre Charles Dupin, depicting the availability of basic education in France by department. [4] More "cartes teintées" ("tinted maps") were soon produced in France to visualize other "moral statistics" on education, disease, crime, and living conditions.

  5. Harmonic map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_map

    A harmonic map heat flow on an interval (a, b) assigns to each t in (a, b) a twice-differentiable map f t : M → N in such a way that, for each p in M, the map (a, b) → N given by t ↦ f t (p) is differentiable, and its derivative at a given value of t is, as a vector in T f t (p) N, equal to (∆ f t ) p. This is usually abbreviated as:

  6. Standard map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_map

    The standard map (also known as the Chirikov–Taylor map or as the Chirikov standard map) is an area-preserving chaotic map from a square with side onto itself. [1] It is constructed by a Poincaré's surface of section of the kicked rotator , and is defined by:
