  2. Circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle

    A circle bounds a region of the plane called a disc. The circle has been known since before the beginning of recorded history. Natural circles are common, such as the full moon or a slice of round fruit. The circle is the basis for the wheel, which, with related inventions such as gears, makes much of modern

  3. Canonical form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canonical_form

    In mathematics and computer science, a canonical, normal, or standard form of a mathematical object is a standard way of presenting that object as a mathematical expression. Often, it is one which provides the simplest representation of an object and allows it to be identified in a unique way.

  4. Conic section - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conic_section

    A conic is the curve obtained as the intersection of a plane, called the cutting plane, with the surface of a double cone (a cone with two nappes).It is usually assumed that the cone is a right circular cone for the purpose of easy description, but this is not required; any double cone with some circular cross-section will suffice.

  5. 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.

  6. Polar coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_coordinate_system

    The complex number z can be represented in rectangular form as = + where i is the imaginary unit, or can alternatively be written in polar form as = (⁡ + ⁡) and from there, by Euler's formula, [14] as = = ⁡. where e is Euler's number, and φ, expressed in radians, is the principal value of the complex number function arg applied to x + iy ...

  7. Ellipse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipse

    A circle viewed from a side angle looks like an ellipse: that is, the ellipse is the image of a circle under parallel or perspective projection. The ellipse is also the simplest Lissajous figure formed when the horizontal and vertical motions are sinusoids with the same frequency: a similar effect leads to elliptical polarization of light in ...

  8. Generalised circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalised_circle

    A circle is the set of points in a plane that lie at radius from a center point . (,) = {:}In the complex plane, is a complex number and is a set of complex numbers. Using the property that a complex number multiplied by its conjugate is the square of its modulus (its Euclidean distance from the origin), an implicit equation for is:

  9. List of gear nomenclature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gear_nomenclature

    Form diameter. Form diameter is the diameter of a circle at which the trochoid (fillet curve) produced by the tooling intersects, or joins, the involute or specified profile. Although these terms are not preferred, it is also known as the true involute form diameter (TIF), start of involute diameter (SOI), or when undercut exists, as the ...
