  2. Goat grazing problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goat_grazing_problem

    Find the area between a circle and its involute over an angle of 2 π to −2 π excluding any overlap. In Cartesian coordinates, the equation of the involute is transcendental; doing a line integral there is hardly feasible. A more felicitous approach is to use polar coordinates (z,θ).

  3. Macula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macula

    The macula (/ˈmakjʊlə/) [1] or macula lutea is an oval-shaped pigmented area in the center of the retina of the human eye and in other animals. The macula in humans has a diameter of around 5.5 mm (0.22 in) and is subdivided into the umbo, foveola, foveal avascular zone, fovea, parafovea, and perifovea areas.

  4. Parafovea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parafovea

    Parafovea or the parafoveal belt is a region in the retina that circumscribes the fovea and is part of the macula lutea. [1] It is circumscribed by the perifovea.. Photograph of the retina of the human eye, with overlay diagrams showing the positions and sizes of the macula, fovea, and optic disc

  5. Fovea centralis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fovea_centralis

    The fovea centralis is a small, central pit composed of closely packed cones in the eye.It is located in the center of the macula lutea of the retina. [1] [2]The fovea is responsible for sharp central vision (also called foveal vision), which is necessary in humans for activities for which visual detail is of primary importance, such as reading and driving.

  6. Regiomontanus' angle maximization problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regiomontanus'_angle...

    All positions on the eye-level line except the point of tangency are outside of the circle, and therefore the angle subtended by the painting from those points is smaller. The point of tangency can be constructed by the following steps: [4] [5] Reflect the bottom point of the painting across the line at eye-level.

  7. Cardinal point (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardinal_point_(optics)

    The eye itself has a second special use of the nodal point that tends to be obscured by paraxial discussions. The cornea and retina are highly curved, unlike most imaging systems, and the optical design of the eye has the property that a "direction line" that is parallel to the input rays can be used to find the magnification or to scale ...

  8. Archimedean spiral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedean_spiral

    A physical approach is used below to understand the notion of Archimedean spirals.. Suppose a point object moves in the Cartesian system with a constant velocity v directed parallel to the x-axis, with respect to the xy-plane.

  9. Fundus (eye) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundus_(eye)

    Fundus photographs of the right eye (left image) and left eye (right image), as seen from the front (as if face to face with the viewer). Each fundus has no sign of disease or pathology. The gaze is into the camera, so in each picture the macula is in the center of the image, and the optic disc is located towards the nose. Both optic discs have ...
