  2. Ellipsis (linguistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipsis_(linguistics)

    In linguistics, ellipsis (from Ancient Greek ἔλλειψις (élleipsis) 'omission') or an elliptical construction is the omission from a clause of one or more words that are nevertheless understood in the context of the remaining elements. There are numerous distinct types of ellipsis acknowledged in theoretical syntax.

  3. Elliptic integral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_integral

    The incomplete elliptic integral of the first kind F is defined as (,) = = (⁡;) = ⁡.This is Legendre's trigonometric form of the elliptic integral; substituting t = sin θ and x = sin φ, one obtains Jacobi's algebraic form:

  4. Elliptic coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_coordinate_system

    Elliptic coordinate system. In geometry, the elliptic coordinate system is a two-dimensional orthogonal coordinate system in which the coordinate lines are confocal ellipses and hyperbolae.

  5. Elliptic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_function

    The fundamental domain of an elliptic function as the unit cell of its period lattice. Parallelogram where opposite sides are identified. If is an elliptic function with periods , it also holds that

  6. Semi-major and semi-minor axes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-major_and_semi-minor_axes

    where (h, k) is the center of the ellipse in Cartesian coordinates, in which an arbitrary point is given by (x, y).The semi-major axis is the mean value of the maximum and minimum distances and of the ellipse from a focus — that is, of the distances from a focus to the endpoints of the major axis

  7. Highly elliptical orbit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highly_elliptical_orbit

    A highly elliptical orbit (HEO) is an elliptic orbit with high eccentricity, usually referring to one around Earth. Examples of inclined HEO orbits include Molniya orbits , named after the Molniya Soviet communication satellites which used them, and Tundra orbits .

  8. Cohesion (linguistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cohesion_(linguistics)

    Cohesion is the grammatical and lexical linking within a text or sentence that holds a text together and gives it meaning. It is related to the broader concept of coherence. ...

  9. Ellipsograph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipsograph

    The motion of the rod is termed elliptical motion. The semi-axes a and b of the ellipses have lengths equal to the distances from the point on the rod to each of the two pivots. The straight lines described by the pivots are special cases of an ellipse, where the length of one axis is twice the distance between the pivots and that of the other ...
