A symmetric design is a block design (v, k, lambda, r, b) with the same number of blocks as points, so b=v (or, equivalently, r=k). An example of a symmetric block design is ...

The conic sections are the nondegenerate curves generated by the intersections of a plane with one or two nappes of a cone. For a plane perpendicular to the axis of the cone, ...

It is especially convenient to specify planes in so-called Hessian normal form. This is obtained from the general equation of a plane ax+by+cz+d=0 (1) by defining the ...

A graph with projective plane crossing number equal to 0 may be said to be projective planar. Examples of projective planar graphs with graph crossing number >=2 include the ...

If an infinite number of points in the plane are all separated by integer distances, then all the points lie on a straight line.

A field of extremals is a plane region which is simply connected by a one-parameter family of extremals. The concept was invented by Weierstrass.

A type of point at infinity in which parallel lines in the hyperbolic plane intersect at infinity in one direction, while diverging from one another in the other.

A bounded entire function in the complex plane C is constant. The fundamental theorem of algebra follows as a simple corollary.

A "curve" (i.e., a continuous map of a one-dimensional interval) into a two-dimensional area (a plane-filling function) or a three-dimensional volume.

The epispiral is a plane curve with polar equation r=asec(ntheta). There are n sections if n is odd and 2n if n is even. A slightly more symmetric version considers instead ...
