The volume of a spherical wedge is V=2/3r^3theta. The surface area of the corresponding spherical lune is S=2r^2theta.

The square antiprism is the antiprism with square bases whose dual is the tetragonal trapezohedron. The square antiprism has 10 faces. The square antiprism with unit edge ...

A surface generated by the parametric equations x(u,v) = ucosv (1) y(u,v) = usinv (2) z(u,v) = vcosu. (3) The above image uses u in [-4,4] and v in [0,6.25]. The coefficients ...

A set that is a smooth embedded two-dimensional manifold except for a subset that consists of smooth embedded curves, except for a set of isolated points.

Let M be an oriented regular surface in R^3 with normal N. Then the support function of M is the function h:M->R defined by h(p)=p·N(p).

A catastrophe which can occur for three control factors and one behavior axis. The swallowtail catastrophe is the universal unfolding of singularity f(x)=x^5 with codimension ...

The tetragonal trapezohedron is the dual of the square antiprism. For a square antiprism with unit edge lengths, the edge lengths of the corresponding tetragonal ...

Coordinates useful for plotting projective three-dimensional curves of the form f(x_0,x_1,x_2,x_3)=0 which are defined by x_0 = 1-z-sqrt(2)x (1) x_1 = 1-z+sqrt(2)x (2) x_2 = ...

Let M be a regular surface with v_(p),w_(p) points in the tangent space M_(p) of M. Then the third fundamental form is given by III(v_(p),w_(p))=S(v_(p))·S(w_(p)), where S is ...

Two points on a surface which are opposite to each other but not farthest from each other (e.g., the midpoints of opposite edges of a cube) are said to be transitive points. ...
