  2. Figurate number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figurate_number

    a number represented as a discrete r-dimensional regular geometric pattern of r-dimensional balls such as a polygonal number (for r = 2) or a polyhedral number (for r = 3). a member of the subset of the sets above containing only triangular numbers, pyramidal numbers, and their analogs in other dimensions. [1]

  3. Euclidean plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_plane

    The hypersphere in 2 dimensions is a circle, sometimes called a 1-sphere (S 1) because it is a one-dimensional manifold. In a Euclidean plane, it has the length 2π r and the area of its interior is

  4. Multiple time dimensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_time_dimensions

    Multiple independent timeframes, in which time passes at different rates, have long been a feature of stories. [15] Fantasy writers such as J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis have made use of these and other multiple time dimensions, such as those proposed by Dunne, in some of their most well-known stories. [15]

  5. Two-dimensional space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-dimensional_space

    The complex plane is two-dimensional when considered to be formed from real-number coordinates, but one-dimensional in terms of complex-number coordinates. A two-dimensional complex space – such as the two-dimensional complex coordinate space , the complex projective plane , or a complex surface – has two complex dimensions, which can ...

  6. Real coordinate space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_coordinate_space

    The action of e on P reduces the plane to a line: It can be decomposed into the projection into the x-coordinate, then quarter-turning the result to the y-axis: e (x + y e) = x e since e 2 = 0. A number x + y e is a dual number. The dual numbers form a ring, but, since e has no multiplicative inverse, it does not generate a group so the action ...

  7. Metric signature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_signature

    The signature of a metric tensor is defined as the signature of the corresponding quadratic form. [2] It is the number (v, p, r) of positive, negative and zero eigenvalues of any matrix (i.e. in any basis for the underlying vector space) representing the form, counted with their algebraic multiplicities.

  9. Dimension (vector space) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimension_(vector_space)

    A diagram of dimensions 1, 2, 3, and 4. In mathematics, the dimension of a vector space V is the cardinality (i.e., the number of vectors) of a basis of V over its base field. [1] [2] It is sometimes called Hamel dimension (after Georg Hamel) or algebraic dimension to distinguish it from other types of dimension.
