A map projection in which areas on a sphere, and the areas of any features contained on it, are mapped to the plane in such a way that two are related by a constant scaling ...

A plane curve of the form y=x^n. For n>0, the curve is a generalized parabola; for n<0 it is a generalized hyperbola.

Let H be a Hilbert space and M a closed subspace of H. Corresponding to any vector x in H, there is a unique vector m_0 in M such that |x-m_0|<=|x-m| for all m in M. ...

The Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection is a map projection having transformation equations x = k^'cosphisin(lambda-lambda_0) (1) y = ...

The Lambert cylindrical equal-area projection is a cylindrical equal-area projection with standard parallel phi_s=0 degrees.

The locus of the centers of all circumconics that also pass through the orthocenter of a triangle (which, when not degenerate, are rectangular hyperbolas) is a circle through ...

A projection matrix P is an n×n square matrix that gives a vector space projection from R^n to a subspace W. The columns of P are the projections of the standard basis ...

The Balthasart projection is a cylindrical equal-area projection that uses a standard parallel of phi_s=50 degrees.

A projection in which latitude lines are parallel but meridians are curves.

A nonconformal, equal-area projection which is a special case of the Bonne projection where one of the poles is taken as the standard parallel. Because of its heart shape, ...
