Let M subset R^3 be a regular surface and u_(p) a unit tangent vector to M, and let Pi(u_(p),N(p)) be the plane determined by u_(p) and the normal to the surface N(p). Then ...

A regular surface M subset R^n is called orientable if each tangent space M_p has a complex structure J_p:M_p->M_p such that p->J_p is a continuous function.

Families of surfaces which are mutually orthogonal. Up to three families of surfaces may be orthogonal in three dimensions. The simplest example of three orthogonal surfaces ...

A perspective collineation with center O and axis o is a collineation which leaves all lines through O and points of o invariant. Every perspective collineation is a ...

A projective correlation of period two. In a polarity, a is called the polar of A, and A the inversion pole a.

Lachlan's terms for a collection of n points.

A collineation which transforms every one-dimensional form projectively. Any collineation which transforms one range into a projectively related range is a projective ...

A surface given by the parametric equations x(u,v) = u (1) y(u,v) = v (2) z(u,v) = 1/3u^3-1/2v^2. (3) The coefficients of the coefficients of the first fundamental form are E ...

A smooth curve is a curve which is a smooth function, where the word "curve" is interpreted in the analytic geometry context. In particular, a smooth curve is a continuous ...

A nickname for the one-sheeted hyperboloid due to Samuel (1988, p. 95).
