An exploded-view drawing is a diagram, picture, schematic or technical drawing of an object, that shows the relationship or order of assembly of various parts. [1]It shows the components of an object slightly separated by distance, or suspended in surrounding space in the case of a three-dimensional exploded diagram.

In arithmetic geometry, the Cox–Zucker machine is an algorithm created by David A. Cox and Steven Zucker. This algorithm determines whether a given set of sections [ further explanation needed ] provides a basis (up to torsion ) for the Mordell–Weil group of an elliptic surface E → S , where S is isomorphic to the projective line .
In a rowing crew, the coxswain (/ ˈ k ɒ k s ən / KOK-sən; colloquially known as the cox or coxie) is a crewmember who does not row but directs the boat.
