There exist points A^', B^', and C^' on segments BC, CA, and AB of a triangle, respectively, such that A^'C+CB^'=B^'A+AC^'=C^'B+BA^' (1) and the lines AA^', BB^', CC^' ...

Consider two directly similar triangles DeltaA_1B_1C_1 and DeltaA_2B_2C_2 with B_1C_1:A_1C_1:A_1B_1=B_2C_2:A_2C_2:A_2B_2=a:b:c. Then a·A_1A_2, b·B_1B_2 and c·C_1C_2 form the ...

In Minkowski space, a twistor may be defined as a pair consisting of a spinor field and a complex conjugate spinor field satisfying the twistor equation.

For a given point lattice, some number of points will be within distance d of the origin. A Waterman polyhedron is the convex hull of these points. A progression of Waterman ...

The Weingarten equations express the derivatives of the normal vector to a surface using derivatives of the position vector. Let x:U->R^3 be a regular patch, then the shape ...

Two points P,Q on a compact Riemann surface such that P lies on every geodesic passing through Q, and conversely. An oriented surface where every point belongs to a ...

A kit consisting of colored rods and slotted balls that can be used to construct three-dimensional configurations. The balls into which the rods are placed resemble an ...

In general, an icosidodecahedron is a 32-faced polyhedron. A number of such solids are illustrated above. "The" (quasiregular) icosidodecahedron is the 32-faced Archimedean ...

The Borromean rings, also called the Borromean links (Livingston 1993, p. 10) are three mutually interlocked rings (left figure), named after the Italian Renaissance family ...

A cubic curve invented by Diocles in about 180 BC in connection with his attempt to duplicate the cube by geometrical methods. The name "cissoid" first appears in the work of ...
