  2. Pole and polar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pole_and_polar

    The concepts of a pole and its polar line were advanced in projective geometry. For instance, the polar line can be viewed as the set of projective harmonic conjugates of a given point, the pole, with respect to a conic. The operation of replacing every point by its polar and vice versa is known as a polarity.

  3. Polar coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_coordinate_system

    Points in the polar coordinate system with pole O and polar axis L. In green, the point with radial coordinate 3 and angular coordinate 60 degrees or (3, 60°). In blue, the point (4, 210°). In mathematics, the polar coordinate system specifies a given point in a plane by using a distance and an angle as its two coordinates. These are

  4. Duality (projective geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duality_(projective_geometry)

    The polarity is called a null polarity (or a symplectic polarity) and can only exist when the projective dimension n is odd. σ 2 = id ≠ σ (here K need not be a field) and φ(u, x) = φ(x, u) σ for all u, x in V. Such a polarity is called a unitary polarity (or a Hermitian polarity).

  5. Molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_geometry

    Molecular geometry influences several properties of a substance including its reactivity, polarity, phase of matter, color, magnetism and biological activity. [1] [2] [3] The angles between bonds that an atom forms depend only weakly on the rest of molecule, i.e. they can be understood as approximately local and hence transferable properties.

  6. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    The ammonia molecule, NH 3, is polar as a result of its molecular geometry. The red represents partially negatively charged regions. The red represents partially negatively charged regions. Ammonia , NH 3 , is a molecule whose three N−H bonds have only a slight polarity (toward the more electronegative nitrogen atom).

  7. Polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarity

    Polarity in embryogenesis, the animal and vegetal poles within a blastula; Cell polarity, differences in the shape, structure, and function of cells; Chemical polarity, in chemistry, a separation of electric charge; Magnetic polarity, north or south poles of a magnet; Polar reciprocation, a concept in geometry also known as polarity

  8. Spherical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system

    Once the radius is fixed, the three coordinates (r, θ, φ), known as a 3-tuple, provide a coordinate system on a sphere, typically called the spherical polar coordinates. The plane passing through the origin and perpendicular to the polar axis (where the polar angle is a right angle) is called the reference plane (sometimes fundamental plane).

  9. Correlation (projective geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_(projective...

    In projective geometry, a correlation is a transformation of a d-dimensional projective space that maps subspaces of dimension k to subspaces of dimension d − k − 1, reversing inclusion and preserving incidence. Correlations are also called reciprocities or reciprocal transformations.
