  2. Osculating circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osculating_circle

    The corresponding center of curvature is the point Q at distance R along N, in the same direction if k is positive and in the opposite direction if k is negative. The circle with center at Q and with radius R is called the osculating circle to the curve γ at the point P.

  3. Radius of convergence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radius_of_convergence

    Two cases arise: The first case is theoretical: when you know all the coefficients then you take certain limits and find the precise radius of convergence.; The second case is practical: when you construct a power series solution of a difficult problem you typically will only know a finite number of terms in a power series, anywhere from a couple of terms to a hundred terms.

  4. Radius of curvature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radius_of_curvature

    Radius of curvature and center of curvature. In differential geometry, the radius of curvature, R, is the reciprocal of the curvature. For a curve, it equals the radius of the circular arc which best approximates the curve at that point. For surfaces, the radius of curvature is the radius of a circle that best fits a normal section or ...

  5. Gauss circle problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss_circle_problem

    Another generalization is to calculate the number of coprime integer solutions , to the inequality m 2 + n 2 ≤ r 2 . {\displaystyle m^{2}+n^{2}\leq r^{2}.\,} This problem is known as the primitive circle problem , as it involves searching for primitive solutions to the original circle problem. [ 9 ]

  6. Center of curvature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_of_curvature

    A concave mirror with light rays Center of curvature. In geometry, the center of curvature of a curve is a point located at a distance from the curve equal to the radius of curvature lying on the curve normal vector. It is the point at infinity if the curvature is zero. The osculating circle to the curve is centered at the centre of curvature.

  7. Centroid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centroid

    In mathematics and physics, the centroid, also known as geometric center or center of figure, of a plane figure or solid figure is the arithmetic mean position of all the points in the surface of the figure. [further explanation needed] The same definition extends to any object in -dimensional Euclidean space. [1]

  8. Sagitta (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagitta_(geometry)

    When the sagitta is small in comparison to the radius, it may be approximated by the formula [2] s ≈ l 2 8 r . {\displaystyle s\approx {\frac {l^{2}}{8r}}.} Alternatively, if the sagitta is small and the sagitta, radius, and chord length are known, they may be used to estimate the arc length by the formula

  9. Power of a point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_of_a_point

    The circle with center and radius () intersects circle orthogonal. Angle between two circles If the radius ρ {\displaystyle \rho } of the circle centered at P {\displaystyle P} is different from Π ( P ) {\displaystyle {\sqrt {\Pi (P)}}} one gets the angle of intersection φ {\displaystyle \varphi } between the two circles applying the Law of ...
