The metabigyrate rhombicosidodecahedron is a convex equilateral solid obtained by rotating two of the pentagonal cupolas of a small rhombicosidodecahedron located in the ...

The catacaustic of a parabola (t,t^2) opening upward is complicated for a general radiant point (x,y). However, the equations simplify substantially in the case x=infty ...

Given a parabola with parametric equations x = at^2 (1) y = 2at, (2) the negative pedal curve for a pedal point (x_0,0) has equation x_n = (at^2[a(3t^2+4)-x_0])/(at^2+x_0) ...

The parabolic cylinder differential equation is the second-order ordinary differential equation y^('')+(nu+1/2-1/4z^2)y=0 (1) whose solution is given by ...

The arc length of the parabolic segment y=h(1-(x^2)/(a^2)) (1) illustrated above is given by s = int_(-a)^asqrt(1+y^('2))dx (2) = 2int_0^asqrt(1+y^('2))dx (3) = ...

The surface of revolution of the parabola which is the shape used in the reflectors of automobile headlights (Steinhaus 1999, p. 242; Hilbert and Cohn-Vossen 1999). It is a ...

A geodesic on a paraboloid x = sqrt(u)cosv (1) y = sqrt(u)sinv (2) z = u (3) has differential parameters defined by P = ...

Parallel computing is the execution of a computer program utilizing multiple computer processors (CPU) concurrently instead of using one processor exclusively. Let T(n,1) be ...

Parallel curves, frequently called "offset curves" in computer graphics applications, are curves which are displaced from a base curve by a constant offset, either positive ...

Two lines in two-dimensional Euclidean space are said to be parallel if they do not intersect. In three-dimensional Euclidean space, parallel lines not only fail to ...
