A skew coordinate system is a system of curvilinear coordinates in which each family of surfaces intersects the others at angles other than right angles. Skew coordinate ...

The dual polyhedron of the small icosicosidodecahedron U_(31) and Wenninger dual W_(71).

A Steinmetz curve is a curve of intersection of two perpendicularly placed cylinders of radii a and b comprising a Steinmetz solid. If the vertical cylinder has radius a and ...

A submersion is a smooth map f:M->N when dimM>=dimN, given that the differential, or Jacobian, is surjective at every x in M. The basic example of a submersion is the ...

A parallel of a surface of revolution is the intersection of the surface with a plane orthogonal to the axis of revolution.

An ordered finite configuration with certain pairs of points, called cables, which are constrained not to get further apart and certain other pairs of points, called struts, ...

A surface given by the parametric equations x = A(u-a)^m(v-a)^n (1) y = B(u-b)^m(v-b)^n (2) z = C(u-c)^m(v-c)^n. (3)

cos(pi/(12)) = 1/4(sqrt(6)+sqrt(2)) (1) cos((5pi)/(12)) = 1/4(sqrt(6)-sqrt(2)) (2) cot(pi/(12)) = 2+sqrt(3) (3) cot((5pi)/(12)) = 2-sqrt(3) (4) csc(pi/(12)) = sqrt(6)+sqrt(2) ...

The term "twisted sphere" is used to mean either a projective plane (Henle 1994, p. 110) or the corkscrew surface obtained by extending a sphere along a diameter and then ...

The right conoid surface given by the parametric equations x(u,v) = vcosu (1) y(u,v) = vsinu (2) z(u,v) = csqrt(a^2-b^2cos^2u). (3)
