An unduloid, also called an onduloid, is a surface of revolution with constant nonzero mean curvature. It is a roulette obtained from the path described by the foci of a ...

A map projection with transformation equations x = rhosintheta (1) y = rho_0-rhocostheta, (2) where rho = (G-phi) (3) theta = n(lambda-lambda_0) (4) rho_0 = (G-phi_0) (5) G = ...

An affine variety V is an algebraic variety contained in affine space. For example, {(x,y,z):x^2+y^2-z^2=0} (1) is the cone, and {(x,y,z):x^2+y^2-z^2=0,ax+by+cz=0} (2) is a ...

The dual of Brianchon's theorem (Casey 1888, p. 146), discovered by B. Pascal in 1640 when he was just 16 years old (Leibniz 1640; Wells 1986, p. 69). It states that, given a ...

A real vector bundle pi:E->M has an orientation if there exists a covering by trivializations U_i×R^k such that the transition functions are vector space ...

A curve of order n is generally determined by n(n+3)/2 points. So a conic section is determined by five points and a cubic curve should require nine. But the Maclaurin-Bézout ...

An inconic with parameters x:y:z=a(b-c):b(c-a):c(a-b), (1) giving equation (2) (Kimberling 1998, pp. 238-239). Its focus is Kimberling center X_(101) and its conic section ...

Let A_1, B_2, C_1, A_2, and B_1 be five points determining a conic. Then the conic is the locus of the point C_2=A_1(L·C_1A_2)·B_1(L·C_1B_2), where L is a line through the ...

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

The canonical bundle is a holomorphic line bundle on a complex manifold which is determined by its complex structure. On a coordinate chart (z_1,...z_n), it is spanned by the ...
