A point which lies on at least one ordinary line is called an ordinary point, or sometimes a regular point.

A surface which is homeomorphic to a finite collection of spheres, each with a finite number of handles, cross-handles, cross-caps, and perforations. A preliminary version of ...

The y- (vertical) coordinate of a point in a two dimensional coordinate system. Physicists and astronomers sometimes use the term to refer to the axis itself instead of the ...

A manifold is said to be orientable if it can be given an orientation. Note the distinction between an "orientable manifold" and an "oriented manifold," where the former ...

A nonsingular linear map A:R^n->R^n is orientation-preserving if det(A)>0.

The oriented matroid of a finite configuration of points extracts relative position and orientation information from the configuration. An oriented matroid can be described ...

The central point (r=0) in polar coordinates, or the point with all zero coordinates (0, ..., 0) in Cartesian coordinates. In three dimensions, the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis ...

An important result in ergodic theory. It states that any two "Bernoulli schemes" with the same measure-theoretic entropy are measure-theoretically isomorphic.

The centroid of the four points constituting an orthocentric system is the center of the common nine-point circle (Johnson 1929, p. 249). This fact automatically guarantees ...

The common axis of the three altitude planes of a trihedron.
