  2. Circular arc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_arc

    A circular sector is shaded in green. Its curved boundary of length L is a circular arc. A circular arc is the arc of a circle between a pair of distinct points.If the two points are not directly opposite each other, one of these arcs, the minor arc, subtends an angle at the center of the circle that is less than π radians (180 degrees); and the other arc, the major arc, subtends an angle ...

  3. AP Calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AP_Calculus

    According to the College Board: An AP course in calculus consists of a full high school academic year of work that is comparable to calculus courses in colleges and universities. It is expected that students who take an AP course in calculus will seek college credit, college placement, or both, from institutions of higher learning.

  4. Directed graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directed_graph

    The arc (y, x) is called the reversed arc of (x, y). The adjacency matrix of a multidigraph with loops is the integer-valued matrix with rows and columns corresponding to the vertices, where a nondiagonal entry a ij is the number of arcs from vertex i to vertex j, and the diagonal entry a ii is the number of loops at vertex i.

  5. List of mathematical abbreviations - Wikipedia

    def – define or definition. deg – degree of a polynomial, or other recursively-defined objects such as well-formed formulas. (Also written as ∂.) del – del, a differential operator. (Also written as.) det – determinant of a matrix or linear transformation. DFT – discrete Fourier transform.

  6. Arc length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_length

    Arc length s of a logarithmic spiral as a function of its parameter θ. Arc length is the distance between two points along a section of a curve. Determining the length of an irregular arc segment by approximating the arc segment as connected (straight) line segments is also called curve rectification.

  7. Jyā, koti-jyā and utkrama-jyā - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jyā,_koti-jyā_and_utkrama...

    Literal meaning of jyā Technical meaning of jyā and kojyā. An arc of a circle is like a bow and so is called a dhanu or chāpa which in Sanskrit means "a bow". The straight line joining the two extremities of an arc of a circle is like the string of a bow and this line is a chord of the circle.

  8. Subtended angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtended_angle

    In geometry, an angle is subtended by an arc, line segment, or any other section of a curve when its two rays pass through the endpoints of that arc, line segment, or curve section. Conversely, the arc, line segment or curve section confined within the rays of an angle is regarded as the corresponding subtension of that angle.

  9. Sagitta (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    In geometry, the sagitta (sometimes abbreviated as sag [1]) of a circular arc is the distance from the midpoint of the arc to the midpoint of its chord. [2] It is used extensively in architecture when calculating the arc necessary to span a certain height and distance and also in optics where it is used to find the depth of a spherical mirror ...
