  2. Hand geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_geometry

    Geometry of a hand and some examples of measurements that can be taken by hand geometry reading devices. [1] A hand geometry reading device with pegs to control the placement of the hand. Angled mirror on the left reflects the side view image of the hand to the camera. A CCD camera is beneath the keypad to take the top view image of the hand ...

  3. Classification of manifolds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classification_of_manifolds

    There are two usual ways to give a classification: explicitly, by an enumeration, or implicitly, in terms of invariants. For instance, for orientable surfaces, the classification of surfaces enumerates them as the connected sum of tori, and an invariant that classifies them is the genus or Euler characteristic.

  4. Geometrical Product Specification and Verification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometrical_Product...

    Geometrical Product Specification and Verification (GPS&V) [1] is a set of ISO standards developed by ISO Technical Committee 213. [2] The aim of those standards is to develop a common language to specify macro geometry (size, form, orientation, location) and micro-geometry (surface texture) of products or parts of products so that the language can be used consistently worldwide.

  5. List of Dewey Decimal classes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Dewey_Decimal_classes

    As a system of library classification the DDC is "arranged by discipline, not subject", so a topic like clothing is classed based on its disciplinary treatment (psychological influence of clothing at 155.95, customs associated with clothing at 391, and fashion design of clothing at 746.92) within the conceptual framework. [2]

  6. Coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinate_system

    For example, Plücker coordinates are used to determine the position of a line in space. [11] When there is a need, the type of figure being described is used to distinguish the type of coordinate system, for example the term line coordinates is used for any coordinate system that specifies the position of a line.

  7. Mathematical model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_model

    The usual representation of this black box system is a data flow diagram centered in the box. Mathematical modeling problems are often classified into black box or white box models, according to how much a priori information on the system is available. A black-box model is a system of which there is no a priori information available.

  8. Laban movement analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laban_movement_analysis

    This category involves motion in connection with the environment, and with spatial patterns, pathways, and lines of spatial tension. Laban described a complex system of geometry based on crystalline forms, Platonic solids, and the structure of the human body. He felt that there were ways of organizing and moving in space that were specifically ...

    Also called infinitesimal calculus A foundation of calculus, first developed in the 17th century, that makes use of infinitesimal numbers. Calculus of moving surfaces an extension of the theory of tensor calculus to include deforming manifolds. Calculus of variations the field dedicated to maximizing or minimizing functionals. It used to be called functional calculus. Catastrophe theory a ...
