  2. 3-sphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-sphere

    Direct projection of 3-sphere into 3D space and covered with surface grid, showing structure as stack of 3D spheres (2-spheres) In mathematics, a hypersphere or 3-sphere is a 4-dimensional analogue of a sphere, and is the 3-dimensional n-sphere. In 4-dimensional Euclidean space, it is the set of points equidistant from a fixed central point.

  3. Homotopy groups of spheres - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homotopy_groups_of_spheres

    This is the set of points in 3-dimensional Euclidean space found exactly one unit away from the origin. It is called the 2-sphere, S 2, for reasons given below. The same idea applies for any dimension n; the equation x 2 0 + x 2 1 + ⋯ + x 2 n = 1 produces the n-sphere as a geometric object in (n + 1)-dimensional space. For example, the 1 ...

  4. Sphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphere

    S ‍ 3: a 3-sphere is a sphere in 4-dimensional Euclidean space. Spheres for n > 2 are sometimes called hyperspheres. The n-sphere of unit radius centered at the origin is denoted S ‍ n and is often referred to as "the" n-sphere. The ordinary sphere is a 2-sphere, because it is a 2-dimensional surface which is embedded in 3-dimensional space.

  5. n-sphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-sphere

    In mathematics, an n-sphere or hypersphere is an ⁠ ⁠-dimensional generalization of the ⁠ ⁠-dimensional circle and ⁠ ⁠-dimensional sphere to any non-negative integer ⁠ ⁠. The circle is considered 1-dimensional, and the sphere 2-dimensional, because the surfaces themselves are 1- and 2-dimensional respectively, not because they ...

  6. Hopf fibration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hopf_fibration

    Technically, Hopf found a many-to-one continuous function (or "map") from the 3-sphere onto the 2-sphere such that each distinct point of the 2-sphere is mapped from a distinct great circle of the 3-sphere . [1] Thus the 3-sphere is composed of fibers, where each fiber is a circle — one for each point of the 2-sphere.

  8. Sphere packing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphere_packing

    Sphere packing finds practical application in the stacking of cannonballs. In geometry, a sphere packing is an arrangement of non-overlapping spheres within a containing space. The spheres considered are usually all of identical size, and the space is usually three-dimensional Euclidean space.

  9. Quaternions and spatial rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternions_and_spatial...

    3D visualization of a sphere and a rotation about an Euler axis (^) by an angle of In 3-dimensional space, according to Euler's rotation theorem, any rotation or sequence of rotations of a rigid body or coordinate system about a fixed point is equivalent to a single rotation by a given angle about a fixed axis (called the Euler axis) that runs through the fixed point.
