  2. Locus (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Each curve in this example is a locus defined as the conchoid of the point P and the line l.In this example, P is 8 cm from l. In geometry, a locus (plural: loci) (Latin word for "place", "location") is a set of all points (commonly, a line, a line segment, a curve or a surface), whose location satisfies or is determined by one or more specified conditions.

  3. List of interactive geometry software - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_interactive...

    Archimedes Geo3D is a shareware program designed for 3D geometric constructions. It extends traditional ruler and compass constructions into 3D space, allowing users to work with elements such as points, lines, circles, planes, spheres, vectors, and loci. This software is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms.

  4. General topology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_topology

    In mathematics, general topology (or point set topology) is the branch of topology that deals with the basic set-theoretic definitions and constructions used in topology. It is the foundation of most other branches of topology, including differential topology , geometric topology , and algebraic topology .

    An algebraic construction is a method by which an algebraic entity is defined or derived from another. Instances include: This list is incomplete ; you can help by adding missing items .

  6. Straightedge and compass construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straightedge_and_compass...

    Using a markable ruler, regular polygons with solid constructions, like the heptagon, are constructible; and John H. Conway and Richard K. Guy give constructions for several of them. [20] The neusis construction is more powerful than a conic drawing tool, as one can construct complex numbers that do not have solid constructions.

  7. Constructible number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructible_number

    The square root of 2 is equal to the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of length 1 and is therefore a constructible number. In geometry and algebra, a real number is constructible if and only if, given a line segment of unit length, a line segment of length | | can be constructed with compass and straightedge in a finite number of steps.

  9. Building (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In mathematics, a building (also Tits building, named after Jacques Tits) is a combinatorial and geometric structure which simultaneously generalizes certain aspects of flag manifolds, finite projective planes, and Riemannian symmetric spaces.
