  2. Critical graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_graph

    In such a graph, every vertex or edge is a critical element, in the sense that its deletion would decrease the number of colors needed in a graph coloring of the given graph. Each time a single edge or vertex (along with its incident edges) is removed from a critical graph, the decrease in the number of colors needed to color that graph cannot ...

  3. Del in cylindrical and spherical coordinates - Wikipedia

    The polar angle is denoted by [,]: it is the angle between the z-axis and the radial vector connecting the origin to the point in question. The azimuthal angle is denoted by φ ∈ [ 0 , 2 π ] {\displaystyle \varphi \in [0,2\pi ]} : it is the angle between the x -axis and the projection of the radial vector onto the xy -plane.

  4. Great-circle navigation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great-circle_navigation

    Orthodromic course drawn on the Earth globe. Great-circle navigation or orthodromic navigation (related to orthodromic course; from Ancient Greek ορθός (orthós) ' right angle ' and δρόμος (drómos) ' path ') is the practice of navigating a vessel (a ship or aircraft) along a great circle.

  5. Octant (solid geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octant_(solid_geometry)

    The eight (±,±,±) coordinates of the cube vertices are used to denote them. The horizontal plane shows the four quadrants between x- and y-axis. (Vertex numbers are little-endian balanced ternary.) An octant in solid geometry is one of the eight divisions of a Euclidean three-dimensional coordinate system defined

  6. Vertex (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    A vertex of an angle is the endpoint where two lines or rays come together. In geometry, a vertex (pl.: vertices or vertexes) is a point where two or more curves, lines, or edges meet or intersect. As a consequence of this definition, the point where two lines meet to form an angle and the corners of polygons and polyhedra are vertices. [1] [2] [3]

  7. Snell's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snell's_law

    The largest possible angle of incidence which still results in a refracted ray is called the critical angle; in this case the refracted ray travels along the boundary between the two media. Refraction of light at the interface between two media. For example, consider a ray of light moving from water to air with an angle of incidence of 50°.

  8. Analytic geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytic_geometry

    In analytic geometry, any equation involving the coordinates specifies a subset of the plane, namely the solution set for the equation, or locus. For example, the equation y = x corresponds to the set of all the points on the plane whose x -coordinate and y -coordinate are equal.

    The gradient of a function is obtained by raising the index of the differential , whose components are given by: =; =; =, = = The divergence of a vector field with components is
