  2. Plumbing (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plumbing_(mathematics)

    In the mathematical field of geometric topology, among the techniques known as surgery theory, the process of plumbing is a way to create new manifolds out of disk bundles. It was first described by John Milnor [ 1 ] and subsequently used extensively in surgery theory to produce manifolds and normal maps with given surgery obstructions .

  3. Mathematical diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_diagram

    A Hasse diagram is a simple picture of a finite partially ordered set, forming a drawing of the partial order's transitive reduction. Concretely, one represents each element of the set as a vertex on the page and draws a line segment or curve that goes upward from x to y precisely when x < y and there is no z such that x < z < y .

  4. Plumbing drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plumbing_drawing

    A plumbing drawing, a type of technical drawing, shows the system of piping for fresh water going into the building and waste going out, both solid and liquid. It also includes fuel gas drawings. Mainly plumbing drawing consist of water supply system drawings, drainage system drawings, irrigation system drawings, storm water system drawings. In ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slab_(geometry)

    In geometry, a slab is a region between two parallel lines in the Euclidean plane, [1] or between two parallel planes in three-dimensional Euclidean space or between two hyperplanes in higher dimensions.

  6. Structural drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_drawing

    A structural drawing, a type of engineering drawing, is a plan or set of plans and details for how a building or other structure will be built. Structural drawings are generally prepared by registered professional engineers, and based on information provided by architectural drawings. The structural drawings are primarily concerned with the ...

  7. Plan (drawing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plan_(drawing)

    Plans are usually "scale drawings", meaning that the plans are drawn at a specific ratio relative to the actual size of the place or object. Various scales may be used for different drawings in a set. For example, a floor plan may be drawn at 1:48 (or 1/4"=1'-0") whereas a detailed view may be drawn at 1:24 (or 1/2"=1'-0").

  8. Engineering drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_drawing

    When part definition is defined mathematically via a solid model, the assertion that one cannot interrogate the model—the direct analog of "scaling the drawing"—becomes ridiculous; because when part definition is defined this way, it is not possible for a drawing or model to be "not to scale". A 2D pencil drawing can be inaccurately ...

  9. Descriptive geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descriptive_geometry

    The file below shows three principal views and one that shows the true lengths in the plane of the roof. (The conic dormer shows parts of an ellipse and a hyperbola .) Descriptive geometry is the branch of geometry which allows the representation of three-dimensional objects in two dimensions by using a specific set of procedures.
