The point at which a curve or function crosses the y-axis (i.e., when x=0 in two dimensions).

The axis in three-dimensional Cartesian coordinates which is usually oriented vertically. Cylindrical coordinates are defined such that the z-axis is the axis about which the ...

The 11-cell is a regular 4-dimensional structure that cannot be represented in 3-dimensional space in any reasonable way and is highly self-intersecting even in 4-dimensional ...

The 57-cell, also called the pentacontaheptachoron, is a regular self-dual locally projective polytope with 57 hemidodecahedral facets described by Coxeter (1982) and also ...

A system of circles obtained by multiplying each radius in a coaxal system by a constant. The Tucker circles are a coaxaloid system (Johnson 1929, p. 277).

If the four points making up a quadrilateral are joined pairwise by six distinct lines, a figure known as a complete quadrangle results. A complete quadrangle is therefore a ...

It is conjectured that any convex body in n-dimensional Euclidean space has an interior point lying on normals through 2n distinct boundary points (Croft et al. 1991). This ...

A cross section of a solid is a plane figure obtained by the intersection of that solid with a plane. The cross section of an object therefore represents an infinitesimal ...

The term diamond is another word for a rhombus. The term is also used to denote a square tilted at a 45 degrees angle. The diamond shape is a special case of the superellipse ...

Draw a triangle DeltaA_1A_2A_3, and let A_1^' be the intersection of the parallel to A_3A_1 through A_2 (the A_2-exmedian) and the parallel to A_1A_2 through A_3 (the ...
