  2. Vertical and horizontal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_and_horizontal

    A plane is horizontal only at the chosen point. Horizontal planes at two separate points are not parallel, they intersect. In general, a horizontal plane will only be perpendicular to a vertical direction if both are specifically defined with respect to the same point: a direction is only vertical at the point of reference. Thus both ...

  3. Ehresmann connection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ehresmann_connection

    Note that, for general Ehresmann connections, the horizontal lift is path-dependent. When two smooth curves in M, coinciding at γ 1 (0) = γ 2 (0) = x 0 and also intersecting at another point x 1 ∈ M, are lifted horizontally to E through the same e ∈ π −1 (x 0), they will generally pass through different points of π −1 (x 1).

  4. Geometric terms of location - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_terms_of_location

    Tangential – intersecting a curve at a point and parallel to the curve at that point. Collinear – in the same line; Parallel – in the same direction. Transverse – intersecting at any angle, i.e. not parallel. Orthogonal (or perpendicular) – at a right angle (at the point of intersection).

  5. Geometric design of roads - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_design_of_roads

    PI = point of intersection (point at which the two tangents intersect) T = tangent length; C = long chord length (straight line between PC and PT) L = curve length; M = middle ordinate, now known as HSO – horizontal sightline offset (distance from sight-obstructing object to the middle of the outside lane) E = external distance

  6. Intersection (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    Intersection problems between a line and a conic section (circle, ellipse, parabola, etc.) or a quadric (sphere, cylinder, hyperboloid, etc.) lead to quadratic equations that can be easily solved. Intersections between quadrics lead to quartic equations that can be solved algebraically.

  7. Horizontal line test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizontal_line_test

    A horizontal line is a straight, flat line that goes from left to right. Given a function f : R → R {\displaystyle f\colon \mathbb {R} \to \mathbb {R} } (i.e. from the real numbers to the real numbers), we can decide if it is injective by looking at horizontal lines that intersect the function's graph .

  8. Parallel (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    intersecting, if they intersect in a common point in the plane, parallel, if they do not intersect in the plane, but converge to a common limit point at infinity (ideal point), or; ultra parallel, if they do not have a common limit point at infinity. [17] In the literature ultra parallel geodesics are often called non-intersecting.

  9. Arrangement of lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrangement_of_lines

    The intersection graph of the lines in a hyperbolic arrangement can be an arbitrary circle graph. The corresponding concept to hyperbolic line arrangements for pseudolines is a weak pseudoline arrangement , [ 52 ] a family of curves having the same topological properties as lines [ 53 ] such that any two curves in the family either meet in a ...
