  2. Midpoint circle algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midpoint_circle_algorithm

    Because in a continuous function, the function for a sphere is the function for a circle with the radius dependent on z (or whatever the third variable is), it stands to reason that the algorithm for a discrete sphere would also rely on the midpoint circle algorithm. But when looking at a sphere, the integer radius of some adjacent circles is ...

  3. Bisection method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisection_method

    The input for the method is a continuous function f, an interval [a, b], and the function values f(a) and f(b). The function values are of opposite sign (there is at least one zero crossing within the interval). Each iteration performs these steps: Calculate c, the midpoint of the interval, c = ⁠ a + b / 2 ⁠.

  4. Sagitta (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    The sagitta also has uses in physics where it is used, along with chord length, to calculate the radius of curvature of an accelerated particle. This is used especially in bubble chamber experiments where it is used to determine the momenta of decay particles. Likewise historically the sagitta is also utilised as a parameter in the calculation ...

  5. Geometric median - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_median

    For the 1-dimensional case, the geometric median coincides with the median.This is because the univariate median also minimizes the sum of distances from the points. (More precisely, if the points are p 1, ..., p n, in that order, the geometric median is the middle point (+) / if n is odd, but is not uniquely determined if n is even, when it can be any point in the line segment between the two ...

  6. Midpoint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midpoint

    Given two points of interest, finding the midpoint of the line segment they determine can be accomplished by a compass and straightedge construction.The midpoint of a line segment, embedded in a plane, can be located by first constructing a lens using circular arcs of equal (and large enough) radii centered at the two endpoints, then connecting the cusps of the lens (the two points where the ...

  7. Bicubic interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicubic_interpolation

    For example, to calculate for one of the points, find (,) for the points to the left and right of the target point and calculate their slope, and similarly for . To find the cross derivative f x y {\displaystyle f_{xy}} , take the derivative in both axes, one at a time.

  8. Self-similarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-similarity

    The composition of functions creates the algebraic structure of a monoid. When the set S has only two elements, the monoid is known as the dyadic monoid . The dyadic monoid can be visualized as an infinite binary tree ; more generally, if the set S has p elements, then the monoid may be represented as a p-adic tree.

  9. Midpoint theorem (triangle) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midpoint_theorem_(triangle)

    The midpoint theorem, midsegment theorem, or midline theorem states that if the midpoints of two sides of a triangle are connected, then the resulting line segment will be parallel to the third side and have half of its length.
