A translation along a straight line L and a rotation about L such that the angle of rotation is proportional to the translation at each instant. Also known as a twist.

A second countable space is a topological space whose topology is second countable.

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).

For K a given knot in S^3, choose a Seifert surface M^2 in S^3 for K and a bicollar M^^×[-1,1] in S^3-K. If x in H_1(M^^) is represented by a 1-cycle in M^^, let x^+ denote ...

The surface corresponding to the region of obscuration when a solid is illuminated from a point light source (located at the radiant point). A disk is the shadow of a sphere ...

The polyhedron compound of the small rhombicuboctahedron and its dual, the deltoidal icositetrahedron. The compound can be constructed from a small rhombicuboctahedron of ...

Find the tunnel between two points A and B on a gravitating sphere which gives the shortest transit time under the force of gravity. Assume the sphere to be nonrotating, of ...

A curve on the surface of a sphere. Examples include the baseball cover, Seiffert's spherical spiral, spherical helix, and spherical spiral.

A closed geometric figure on the surface of a sphere which is formed by the arcs of great circles. The spherical polygon is a generalization of the spherical triangle. If ...

A spherical polyhedron is set of arcs on the surface of a sphere corresponding to the projections of the edges of a polyhedron. The images above illustrate the spherical ...
