The center of any sphere which has a contact of (at least) first-order with a curve C at a point P lies in the normal plane to C at P. The center of any sphere which has a ...

In three dimensions, a parallelepiped is a prism whose faces are all parallelograms. Let A, B, and C be the basis vectors defining a three-dimensional parallelepiped. Then ...

Move a point Pi_0 along a line from an initial point to a final point. It traces out a line segment Pi_1. When Pi_1 is translated from an initial position to a final ...

An auxiliary latitude also called the reduced latitude and denoted eta or theta. It gives the latitude on a sphere of radius a for which the parallel has the same radius as ...

The pentagonal wegde is one of the seven topologically distinct convex hexahedra. Like the cube, it contains 8 vertices, 12 edges, and 6 faces, but its faces consist of 2 ...

The pentagrammic crossed antiprism is the uniform polyhedron with Maeder index 80 (Maeder 1997), Coxeter index 35 (Coxeter et al. 1954), and Har'El index 5 (Har'El 1993). It ...

The pentagrammic prism is the self-intersecting uniform polyhedron with Maeder index 78 (Maeder 1997), Coxeter index 33 (Coxeter et al. 1954), and Har'El index 3 (Har'El ...

There exist polyhedra which can be plaited (braided). Examples include a plaited cube and plaited icosahedron illustrated above (Pargeter 1959, Wells 1991). In the above ...

The geometric centroid of a polyhedron composed of N triangular faces with vertices (a_i,b_i,c_i) can be computed using the curl theorem as x^_ = ...

The volume of a polyhedron composed of N triangular faces with vertices (a_i,b_i,c_i) can be computed using the curl theorem as V=1/6sum_(i=1)^Na_i·n_i, where the normal n_i ...
