    a 0-sphere is a pair of points ⁠ {, +} ⁠, and is the boundary of a line segment (⁠ ⁠-ball). a 1-sphere is a circle of radius ⁠ ⁠ centered at ⁠ ⁠, and is the boundary of a disk (⁠ ⁠-ball).

  3. Atmospheric entry - Wikipedia

    The simplest axisymmetric shape is the sphere or spherical section. ... (324 °F) warmer than the normally sub-zero, ambient air); the metallurgical implications ...

  4. Sub-Gaussian distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sub-Gaussian_distribution

    In probability theory, a subgaussian distribution, the distribution of a subgaussian random variable, is a probability distribution with strong tail decay. More specifically, the tails of a subgaussian distribution are dominated by (i.e. decay at least as fast as) the tails of a Gaussian.

  5. Sphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphere

    A sphere of radius r has area element = ⁡. This can be found from the volume element in spherical coordinates with r held constant. [9] A sphere of any radius centered at zero is an integral surface of the following differential form: + + =

  6. Spherical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system

    For example, one sphere that is described in Cartesian coordinates with the equation x 2 + y 2 + z 2 = c 2 can be described in spherical coordinates by the simple equation r = c. (In this system—shown here in the mathematics convention—the sphere is adapted as a unit sphere, where the radius is set to unity and then can generally be ignored ...

  7. Spherical geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_geometry

    The sum of the angles of a spherical triangle is not equal to 180°. A sphere is a curved surface, but locally the laws of the flat (planar) Euclidean geometry are good approximations. In a small triangle on the face of the earth, the sum of the angles is only slightly more than 180 degrees. A sphere with a spherical triangle on it.

  8. Zero-dimensional space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-dimensional_space

    Zero-dimensional Polish spaces are a particularly convenient setting for descriptive set theory. Examples of such spaces include the Cantor space and Baire space . Hausdorff zero-dimensional spaces are precisely the subspaces of topological powers 2 I {\displaystyle 2^{I}} where 2 = { 0 , 1 } {\displaystyle 2=\{0,1\}} is given the discrete ...

  9. Curvature of Riemannian manifolds - Wikipedia

    In dimensions 2 and 3 the Weyl tensor vanishes, but in 4 or more dimensions the Weyl tensor can be non-zero. For a manifold of constant curvature , the Weyl tensor is zero. Moreover, ⁠ W = 0 {\displaystyle W=0} ⁠ if and only if the metric is locally conformal to the Euclidean metric .
