A parameterization of a surface x(u,v) in u and v is regular if the tangent vectors (partialx)/(partialu) and (partialx)/(partialv) are always linearly independent.

A surface possessing a saddle point.

A 4-sphere has positive curvature, with R^2=x^2+y^2+z^2+w^2 (1) 2x(dx)/(dw)+2y(dy)/(dw)+2z(dz)/(dw)+2w=0. (2) Since r=xx^^+yy^^+zz^^ (3) dw = -(xdx+ydy+zdz)/w (4) = ...

A spherical triangle is a figure formed on the surface of a sphere by three great circular arcs intersecting pairwise in three vertices. The spherical triangle is the ...

Triangulation is the division of a surface or plane polygon into a set of triangles, usually with the restriction that each triangle side is entirely shared by two adjacent ...

An official chessboard is an 8×8 board containing squares alternating in color between olive green and buff (where "buff" is a color variously defined as a moderate orange ...

Continuum percolation can be thought of as a continuous, uncountable version of percolation theory-a theory which, in its most studied form, takes place on a discrete, ...

For vectors u=(u_x,u_y,u_z) and v=(v_x,v_y,v_z) in R^3, the cross product in is defined by uxv = x^^(u_yv_z-u_zv_y)-y^^(u_xv_z-u_zv_x)+z^^(u_xv_y-u_yv_x) (1) = ...

The curl of a vector field, denoted curl(F) or del xF (the notation used in this work), is defined as the vector field having magnitude equal to the maximum "circulation" at ...

The phrase dependent percolation is used in two-dimensional discrete percolation to describe any general model in which the states of the various graph edges (in the case of ...
