  2. Engineering drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_drawing

    Geometry – the shape of the object; represented as views; how the object will look when it is viewed from various angles, such as front, top, side, etc. Dimensions – the size of the object is captured in accepted units. Tolerances – the allowable variations for each dimension. Material – represents what the item is made of.

  3. List of coordinate charts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_coordinate_charts

    Coordinate charts are mathematical objects of topological manifolds, and they have multiple applications in theoretical and applied mathematics. When a differentiable structure and a metric are defined, greater structure exists, and this allows the definition of constructs such as integration and geodesics .

  4. Stokes parameters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes_parameters

    The Stokes I, Q, U and V parameters. The Stokes parameters are a set of values that describe the polarization state of electromagnetic radiation.They were defined by George Gabriel Stokes in 1851, [1] [2] as a mathematically convenient alternative to the more common description of incoherent or partially polarized radiation in terms of its total intensity (I), (fractional) degree of ...

  5. Grade (slope) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_(slope)

    (This is the angle α opposite the "rise" side of a triangle with a right angle between vertical rise and horizontal run.) as a percentage, the formula for which is which is equivalent to the tangent of the angle of inclination times 100. In Europe and the U.S. percentage "grade" is the most commonly used figure for describing slopes.

  6. Cartesian coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_coordinate_system

    The orientation is usually chosen so that the 90-degree angle from the first axis to the second axis looks counter-clockwise when seen from the point (0, 0, 1); a convention that is commonly called the right-hand rule. The coordinate surfaces of the Cartesian coordinates (x, y, z). The z-axis is vertical and the x-axis is highlighted in green.

  7. Geometric mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_mean

    The geometric mean can be understood in terms of geometry. The geometric mean of two numbers, a {\displaystyle a} and b {\displaystyle b} , is the length of one side of a square whose area is equal to the area of a rectangle with sides of lengths a {\displaystyle a} and b {\displaystyle b} .

  8. Visual acuity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_acuity

    For 6/6 = 1.0 acuity, the size of a letter on the Snellen chart or Landolt C chart is a visual angle of 5 arc minutes (1 arc min = 1/60 of a degree), which is a 43 point font at 20 feet. [10] By the design of a typical optotype (like a Snellen E or a Landolt C), the critical gap that needs to be resolved is 1/5 this value, i.e., 1 arc min.

  9. Angle of view (photography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_view_(photography)

    This table shows the diagonal, horizontal, and vertical angles of view, in degrees, for lenses producing rectilinear images, when used with 36 mm × 24 mm format (that is, 135 film or full-frame 35 mm digital using width 36 mm, height 24 mm, and diagonal 43.3 mm for d in the formula above). [16]
