2. Set (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

   A set of polygons in an Euler diagram This set equals the one depicted above since both have the very same elements.. In mathematics, a set is a collection of different [1] things; [2] [3] [4] these things are called elements or members of the set and are typically mathematical objects of any kind: numbers, symbols, points in space, lines, other geometrical shapes, variables, or even other ...

3. K-set (geometry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-set_(geometry)

   A set of six points (red), its six 2-sets (the sets of points contained in the blue ovals), and lines separating each -set from the remaining points (dashed black). In discrete geometry , a k {\displaystyle k} -set of a finite point set S {\displaystyle S} in the Euclidean plane is a subset of k {\displaystyle k} elements of S {\displaystyle S ...

4. Foundations of geometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_geometry

   Absolute geometry is a geometry based on an axiom system consisting of all the axioms giving Euclidean geometry except for the parallel postulate or any of its alternatives. [69] The term was introduced by János Bolyai in 1832. [70] It is sometimes referred to as neutral geometry, [71] as it is neutral with respect to the parallel postulate.

5. Mathematics - Wikipedia

   Some students studying math may develop an apprehension or fear about their performance in the subject. This is known as math anxiety or math phobia, and is considered the most prominent of the disorders impacting academic performance. Math anxiety can develop due to various factors such as parental and teacher attitudes, social stereotypes ...

6. Straightedge and compass construction - Wikipedia

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

   The same set of points can often be constructed using a smaller set of tools. For example, using a compass, straightedge, and a piece of paper on which we have the parabola y=x 2 together with the points (0,0) and (1,0), one can construct any complex number that has a solid construction.

7. 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.
