The solid angle Omega subtended by a surface S is defined as the surface area Omega of a unit sphere covered by the surface's projection onto the sphere. This can be written ...

An angle bracket is the combination of a bra and ket (bra+ket = bracket) which represents the inner product of two functions or vectors (or 1-forms), <f|g>=intf(x)g^|(x)dx in ...

Shapes such as segments or angles appear larger when placed inside a larger angle.

The eccentric angle of a point on an ellipse with semimajor axes of length a and semiminor axes of length b is the angle t in the parametrization x = acost (1) y = bsint, (2) ...

Power formulas include sin^2x = 1/2[1-cos(2x)] (1) sin^3x = 1/4[3sinx-sin(3x)] (2) sin^4x = 1/8[3-4cos(2x)+cos(4x)] (3) and cos^2x = 1/2[1+cos(2x)] (4) cos^3x = ...

sum_(n=0)^(N-1)e^(inx) = (1-e^(iNx))/(1-e^(ix)) (1) = (-e^(iNx/2)(e^(-iNx/2)-e^(iNx/2)))/(-e^(ix/2)(e^(-ix/2)-e^(ix/2))) (2) = (sin(1/2Nx))/(sin(1/2x))e^(ix(N-1)/2), (3) ...

Machin-like formulas have the form mcot^(-1)u+ncot^(-1)v=1/4kpi, (1) where u, v, and k are positive integers and m and n are nonnegative integers. Some such formulas can be ...

A geodesic triangle with oriented boundary yields a curve which is piecewise differentiable. Furthermore, the tangent vector varies continuously at all but the three corner ...

The angle bisector of an angle in a triangle divides the opposite side in the same ratio as the sides adjacent to the angle.
