  2. Euler angles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_angles

    The axes of the original frame are denoted as x, y, z and the axes of the rotated frame as X, Y, Z.The geometrical definition (sometimes referred to as static) begins by defining the line of nodes (N) as the intersection of the planes xy and XY (it can also be defined as the common perpendicular to the axes z and Z and then written as the vector product N = z × Z).

  3. Coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinate_system

    In geometry, a coordinate system is a system that uses one or more numbers, or coordinates, to uniquely determine the position of the points or other geometric elements on a manifold such as Euclidean space.

  4. Algebraic geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_geometry

    Algebraic geometry is a branch of mathematics which uses abstract algebraic techniques, mainly from commutative algebra, to solve geometrical problems.Classically, it studies zeros of multivariate polynomials; the modern approach generalizes this in a few different aspects.

  5. Moduli space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moduli_space

    In mathematics, in particular algebraic geometry, a moduli space is a geometric space (usually a scheme or an algebraic stack) whose points represent algebro-geometric objects of some fixed kind, or isomorphism classes of such objects.

  7. Metric tensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_tensor

    In a local coordinate system x i, i = 1, 2, …, n, the metric tensor appears as a matrix, denoted here by G, whose entries are the components g ij of the metric tensor relative to the coordinate vector fields. Let γ(t) be a piecewise-differentiable parametric curve in M, for a ≤ t ≤ b. The arclength of the curve is defined by

  8. Projective plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projective_plane

    These turn out to be "tamer" than the projective planes since the extra degrees of freedom permit Desargues' theorem to be proved geometrically in the higher-dimensional geometry. This means that the coordinate "ring" associated to the geometry must be a division ring (skewfield) K, and the projective geometry is isomorphic to the one ...

  9. Voronoi diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voronoi_diagram

    The Voronoi approach is also put to use in the evaluation of circularity/roundness while assessing the dataset from a coordinate-measuring machine. Zeroes of iterated derivatives of a rational function on the complex plane accumulate on the edges of the Voronoi diagam of the set of the poles ( Pólya's shires theorem [ 38 ] ).
