A set of planes sharing a point in common. For planes specified in Hessian normal form, a bundle of planes can therefore be specified as ...

In Homogeneous coordinates (x_1,x_2,x_3), the equation of a circle C is a(x_1^2+x_2^2)+2fx_2x_3+2gx_1x_3+cx_3^2=0. The discriminant of this circle is defined as Delta=|a 0 g; ...

Let sigma_1, ..., sigma_4 be four planes in general position through a point P and let P_(ij) be a point on the line sigma_i·sigma_j. Let sigma_(ijk) denote the plane ...

An equation of the form y=ax^3+bx^2+cx+d where only one root is real.

Given a quadrilateral ABCD, the three diagonal points P, Q, and R defined as the pairwise intersections of the lines determined by the sides AB intersection CD, AC ...

An ellipsoidal section is the curve formed by the intersection of a plane with an ellipsoid. An ellipsoidal section is always an ellipse.

A half-plane is a planar region consisting of all points on one side of an infinite straight line, and no points on the other side. If the points on the line are included, ...

Let a_1, a_2, ..., a_n be scalars not all equal to 0. Then the set S consisting of all vectors X=[x_1; x_2; |; x_n] in R^n such that a_1x_1+a_2x_2+...+a_nx_n=c for c a ...

The general bivariate quadratic curve can be written ax^2+2bxy+cy^2+2dx+2fy+g=0. (1) Define the following quantities: Delta = |a b d; b c f; d f g| (2) J = |a b; b c| (3) I = ...

A section of a solid is the plane figure cut from the solid by passing a plane through it (Kern and Bland 1948, p. 18).
