A mathematical object is said to be symmetric if it is invariant ("looks the same") under a symmetry transformation. A function, matrix, etc., is symmetric if it remains ...

Symmetric points are preserved under a Möbius transformation. The Schwarz reflection principle is sometimes called the symmetry principle (Needham 2000, p. 252).

A double point at which two (or more) osculating curves are tangent. The above plot shows the tacnode of the curve 2x^4-3x^2y+y^2-2y^3+y^4=0. The capricornoid and links curve ...

Two circles with centers at (x_i,y_i) with radii r_i for i=1,2 are mutually tangent if (x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2=(r_1+/-r_2)^2. (1) If the center of the second circle is inside ...

Let (x_0,y_0) be any point of a surface function z=f(x,y). Then the surface has a nonvertical tangent plane at (x_0,y_0) with equation ...

A quartic surface given by the implicit equation x^4-5x^2+y^4-5y^2+z^4-5z^2+11.8=0.

The set of rules for manipulating and calculating with tensors.

The trace of a second-tensor rank tensor T is a scalar given by the contracted mixed tensor equal to T_i^i. The trace satisfies ...

The terminal side of an angle theta drawn in angle standard position is the side which isn't the initial side. When viewing an angle as the amount of rotation about the ...

Tetradics transform dyadics in much the same way that dyadics transform vectors. They are represented using Hebrew characters and have 81 components (Morse and Feshbach 1953, ...
