Hyperbolas sharing common foci (left figure). The family of confocal hyperbolas covers the plane simply, in the sense that there is a unique hyperbola passing through each ...

(x^2)/(a^2-lambda)+(y^2)/(b^2-lambda)=z-lambda (1) (x^2)/(a^2-mu)+(y^2)/(b^2-mu)=z-mu (2) (x^2)/(a^2-nu)+(y^2)/(b^2-nu)=z-nu, (3) where lambda in (-infty,b^2), mu in ...

A set of quadratic surfaces which share foci. Ellipsoids and one- and two-sheeted hyperboloids can be confocal. These three types of surfaces can be combined to form an ...

Conformal latitude is defined by chi = 2tan^(-1){tan(1/4pi+1/2phi)[(1-esinphi)/(1+esinphi)]^(e/2)}-1/2pi (1) = ...

A map projection which is a conformal mapping, i.e., one for which local (infinitesimal) angles on a sphere are mapped to the same angles in the projection. On maps of an ...

Let E be a simply connected compact set in the complex plane. By the Riemann mapping theorem, there is a unique analytic function ...

There are at least two meanings on the word congruent in mathematics. Two geometric figures are said to be congruent if one can be transformed into the other by an isometry ...

Given a triangle, draw a Cevian to one of the bases that divides it into two triangles having congruent incircles. The positions and sizes of these two circumcircles can then ...

The triangulation point Y of a reference triangle DeltaABC for which triangles DeltaBYC, DeltaCYA, and DeltaAYB have congruent incircles. It is a special case of an Elkies ...

In 1989, P. Yff proved there is a unique configuration of isoscelizers for a given triangle such that all three have the same length and are concurrent (C. Kimberling, pers. ...
