  2. Unit circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_circle

    Since C = 2πr, the circumference of a unit circle is 2π. In mathematics, a unit circle is a circle of unit radius—that is, a radius of 1. [1] Frequently, especially in trigonometry, the unit circle is the circle of radius 1 centered at the origin (0, 0) in the Cartesian coordinate system in the Euclidean plane.

  3. Group of rational points on the unit circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_of_rational_points...

    The Pythagorean triple (4,3,5) is associated to the rational point (4/5,3/5) on the unit circle. In mathematics, the rational points on the unit circle are those points (x, y) such that both x and y are rational numbers ("fractions") and satisfy x 2 + y 2 = 1. The set of such points turns out to be closely related to primitive Pythagorean triples.

    The values of ⁡ (), ⁡ (), and ⁡ are represented by the ordinates of points A, B, and D, respectively, while the values of ⁡ (), ⁡ (), and () are represented by the abscissas of points A, C and E, respectively.

  5. Metric circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_circle

    Arc distances on a great circle are the same as the distance between the same points on a sphere, and on the hemispheres into which the circle divides the sphere.. The Riemannian unit circle of length 2 π can be embedded, without any change of distance, into the metric of geodesics on a unit sphere, by mapping the circle to a great circle and its metric to great-circle distance.

  6. Constructible number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructible_number

    The square root of 2 is equal to the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of length 1 and is therefore a constructible number. In geometry and algebra, a real number is constructible if and only if, given a line segment of unit length, a line segment of length | | can be constructed with compass and straightedge in a finite number of steps.

  7. Circular mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_mean

    The angle is a reasonable mean of the input angles. The resulting radius will be 1 if all angles are equal. If the angles are uniformly distributed on the circle, then the resulting radius will be 0, and there is no circular mean. (In fact, it is impossible to define a continuous mean operation on the circle.) In other words, the radius ...

  8. Circular uniform distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_uniform_distribution

    A 10,000 point Monte Carlo simulation of the distribution of the sample mean of a circular uniform distribution for N = 3 Probability densities (¯) for small values of . Densities for N > 3 {\displaystyle N>3} are normalised to the maximum density, those for N = 1 {\displaystyle N=1} and 2 {\displaystyle 2} are scaled to aid visibility.

  9. Tangent half-angle substitution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangent_half-angle...

    Here is another geometric point of view. Draw the unit circle, and let P be the point (−1, 0). A line through P (except the vertical line) is determined by its slope. Furthermore, each of the lines (except the vertical line) intersects the unit circle in exactly two points, one of which is P. This determines a function from points on the unit ...
