  2. Perimeter of an ellipse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perimeter_of_an_ellipse

    An ellipse has two axes and two foci. Unlike most other elementary shapes, such as the circle and square, there is no algebraic equation to determine the perimeter of an ellipse. Throughout history, a large number of equations for approximations and estimates have been made for the perimeter of an ellipse.

  3. Elliptic integral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_integral

    Like the integral of the first kind, the complete elliptic integral of the second kind can be computed very efficiently using the arithmetic–geometric mean. [1] Define sequences a n and g n, where a 0 = 1, g 0 = √ 1 − k 2 = k ′ and the recurrence relations a n + 1 = ⁠ a n + g n / 2 ⁠, g n + 1 = √ a n g n hold.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipse

    An ellipse (red) obtained as the intersection of a cone with an inclined plane. Ellipse: notations Ellipses: examples with increasing eccentricity. In mathematics, an ellipse is a plane curve surrounding two focal points, such that for all points on the curve, the sum of the two distances to the focal points is a constant.

  5. List of second moments of area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_second_moments_of_area

    The second moment of area, also known as area moment of inertia, is a geometrical property of an area which reflects how its points are distributed with respect to an arbitrary axis. The unit of dimension of the second moment of area is length to fourth power, L 4, and should not be confused with the mass moment of inertia.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_definite_integrals

    In mathematics, the definite integral ()is the area of the region in the xy-plane bounded by the graph of f, the x-axis, and the lines x = a and x = b, such that area above the x-axis adds to the total, and that below the x-axis subtracts from the total.

    The literature list contains 92 main entries and 140 additional entries (in the eighth English edition). The integrals are classified by numbers, which haven't changed from the fourth Russian up to the seventh English edition (the numbering in older editions as well as in the eighth English edition is not fully compatible).

  9. Steiner inellipse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steiner_inellipse

    In geometry, the Steiner inellipse, [1] midpoint inellipse, or midpoint ellipse of a triangle is the unique ellipse inscribed in the triangle and tangent to the sides at their midpoints. It is an example of an inellipse .
