A translation without rotation or distortion.

If (sinalpha)/(sinbeta)=m/n, then (tan[1/2(alpha-beta)])/(tan[1/2(alpha+beta)])=(m-n)/(m+n).

An object which can be constructed by squaring is called squarable.

The unit of solid angle. The solid angle corresponding to all of space being subtended is 4pi steradians.

A tangent point of two similar curves.

A quantity which transforms like a tensor except for a scalar factor of a Jacobian.

The tensor defined by T^l_(jk)=-(Gamma^l_(jk)-Gamma^l_(kj)), where Gamma^l_(jk) are Christoffel symbols of the first kind.

A curve which intersects some straight line in an infinity of points (but for which not every point lies on this curve).
