The plane spanned by two coordinate axes in the three-dimensional Euclidean space. The coordinate plane spanned by the x- and the y-axis is called xy-plane.

The crossed trough is the surface z=x^2y^2. (1) The coefficients of its first fundamental form are E = 1+4x^2y^4 (2) F = 4x^3y^3 (3) G = 1+4x^4y^2 (4) and of the second ...

The polyhedron compound consisting of the cuboctahedron and its dual, the rhombic dodecahedron, illustrated in the left figure above. The right figure shows the solid common ...

A surface of revolution of the form r(phi)=a[1-esin^2phi-(3/8e^2+k)sin^2(2phi)], where k is a second-order correction to the figure of a rotating fluid.

The diameter of a circle is the distance from a point on the circle to a point pi radians away, and is the maximum distance from one point on a circle to another. The ...

Partial differential equation boundary conditions which give the value of the function on a surface, e.g., T=f(r,t).

The divergence of a vector field F, denoted div(F) or del ·F (the notation used in this work), is defined by a limit of the surface integral del ·F=lim_(V->0)(∮_SF·da)/V (1) ...

The double sphere is the degenerate quartic surface (x^2+y^2+z^2-r^2)^2=0 obtained by squaring the left-hand side of the equation of a usual sphere x^2+y^2+z^2-r^2=0.

A generalization of the helicoid to the parametric equations x(u,v) = avcosu (1) y(u,v) = bvsinu (2) z(u,v) = cu. (3) In this parametrization, the surface has first ...

The real projective plane with elliptic metric where the distance between two points P and Q is defined as the radian angle between the projection of the points on the ...
