  2. Rytz's construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rytz's_construction

    An essential property of two conjugate diameters , is: The tangents at the ellipse points of one diameter are parallel to the second diameter (see second diagram). Cube with circles: military projection Rytz's construction in 6 steps. Given: center C and two conjugate half diameters CP, CQ of an ellipse.

  3. Perimeter of an ellipse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perimeter_of_an_ellipse

    In more recent years, computer programs have been used to find and calculate more precise approximations of the perimeter of an ellipse. In an online video about the perimeter of an ellipse, recreational mathematician and YouTuber Matt Parker, using a computer program, calculated numerous approximations for the perimeter of an ellipse.

  4. Elliptic coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_coordinate_system

    A drawback of these coordinates is that the points with Cartesian coordinates (x,y) and (x,-y) have the same coordinates (,), so the conversion to Cartesian coordinates is not a function, but a multifunction. =

  5. Ellipse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipse

    An ellipse (red) obtained as the intersection of a cone with an inclined plane. Ellipse: notations Ellipses: examples with increasing eccentricity. In mathematics, an ellipse is a plane curve surrounding two focal points, such that for all points on the curve, the sum of the two distances to the focal points is a constant.

  6. Counting points on elliptic curves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counting_points_on...

    An important aspect in the study of elliptic curves is devising effective ways of counting points on the curve.There have been several approaches to do so, and the algorithms devised have proved to be useful tools in the study of various fields such as number theory, and more recently in cryptography and Digital Signature Authentication (See elliptic curve cryptography and elliptic curve DSA).

  7. Ellipsoid - Wikipedia

    The lower part of the diagram shows that F 1 and F 2 are the foci of the ellipse in the xy-plane, too. Hence, it is confocal to the given ellipse and the length of the string is l = 2r x + (a − c). Solving for r x yields r x = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ (l − a + c); furthermore r 2 y = r 2 x − c 2.

  8. Elliptic geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_geometry

    In elliptic geometry, two lines perpendicular to a given line must intersect. In fact, all perpendiculars to a given line intersect at a single point called the absolute pole of that line. Every point corresponds to an absolute polar line of which it is the absolute pole. Any point on this polar line forms an absolute conjugate pair with the

    In this case the arrival point is = 49.073057°, = 2.586154°, which is about 4.1 nm from the arrival point in Paris defined above. Of course using the departure azimuth and distance from the great ellipse indirect problem will properly locate the destination, ϕ 2 {\displaystyle \phi _{2}} = 49.00970°, λ 2 {\displaystyle \lambda _{2}} = 2. ...
