Canton Tower, Guangzhou, China Kobe Port Tower, Kobe, Japan Cooling tower, Puertollano, Spain. This page is a list of hyperboloid structures.These were first applied in architecture by Russian engineer Vladimir Shukhov (1853–1939).
A hyperbola is an open curve with two branches, the intersection of a plane with both halves of a double cone.The plane does not have to be parallel to the axis of the cone; the hyperbola will be symmetrical in any case.
A ray through the unit hyperbola x 2 − y 2 = 1 at the point (cosh a, sinh a), where a is twice the area between the ray, the hyperbola, and the x-axis. For points on the hyperbola below the x-axis, the area is considered negative (see animated version with comparison with the trigonometric (circular) functions).
A triangle immersed in a saddle-shape plane (a hyperbolic paraboloid), along with two diverging ultra-parallel lines. In mathematics, hyperbolic geometry (also called Lobachevskian geometry or Bolyai–Lobachevskian geometry) is a non-Euclidean geometry.
In geometry, the lemniscate of Bernoulli is a plane curve defined from two given points F 1 and F 2, known as foci, at distance 2c from each other as the locus of points P so that PF 1 ·PF 2 = c 2.
The hyperbola is the isogonal conjugate of , the line joining the circumcenter and the incenter. [3] This fact leads to a few interesting properties. Specifically all the points lying on the line have their isogonal conjugates lying on the hyperbola.
A conic is the curve obtained as the intersection of a plane, called the cutting plane, with the surface of a double cone (a cone with two nappes).It is usually assumed that the cone is a right circular cone for the purpose of easy description, but this is not required; any double cone with some circular cross-section will suffice.
Hyperbole (/ h aɪ ˈ p ɜːr b əl i / ⓘ; adj. hyperbolic / ˌ h aɪ p ər ˈ b ɒ l ɪ k / ⓘ) is the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech.In rhetoric, it is also sometimes known as auxesis (literally 'growth').
