  2. Finite geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_geometry

    The smallest geometry satisfying all three axioms contains seven points. In this simplest of the projective planes, there are also seven lines; each point is on three lines, and each line contains three points. The Fano plane. This particular projective plane is sometimes called the Fano plane. If any of the lines is removed from the plane ...

  3. Cardinal point (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    The principal points are the points where the principal planes cross the optical axis. If the medium surrounding an optical system has a refractive index of 1 (e.g., air or vacuum), then the distance from each principal plane to the corresponding focal point is just the focal length of the system. In the more general case, the distance to the ...

  4. Fano plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fano_plane

    It has 15 points, 35 lines, and 15 planes and is the smallest three-dimensional projective space. [16] It also has the following properties: [17] Each point is contained in 7 lines and 7 planes. Each line is contained in 3 planes and contains 3 points. Each plane contains 7 points and 7 lines. Each plane is isomorphic to the Fano plane.

  5. Plane-based geometric algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plane-based_geometric_algebra

    Elements of 3D Plane-based GA, which includes planes, lines, and points. All elements are constructed from reflections in planes. Lines are a special case of rotations. Plane-based geometric algebra is an application of Clifford algebra to modelling planes, lines, points, and rigid transformations.

  6. Coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinate_system

    In this system, an arbitrary point O (the origin) is chosen on a given line. The coordinate of a point P is defined as the signed distance from O to P, where the signed distance is the distance taken as positive or negative depending on which side of the line P lies. Each point is given a unique coordinate and each real number is the coordinate ...

  7. Duality (projective geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    When, in the model, these lines are considered to be the points and the planes the lines of the projective plane PG(2, R), this association becomes a correlation (actually a polarity) of the projective plane. The sphere model is obtained by intersecting the lines and planes through the origin with a unit sphere centered at the origin.

  9. Five points determine a conic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_points_determine_a_conic

    In Euclidean and projective geometry, five points determine a conic (a degree-2 plane curve), just as two (distinct) points determine a line (a degree-1 plane curve).There are additional subtleties for conics that do not exist for lines, and thus the statement and its proof for conics are both more technical than for lines.
