Families of surfaces which are mutually orthogonal. Up to three families of surfaces may be orthogonal in three dimensions. The simplest example of three orthogonal surfaces ...

A perspective collineation with center O and axis o is a collineation which leaves all lines through O and points of o invariant. Every perspective collineation is a ...

Through any point in the plane, there is at most one straight line parallel to a given straight line. This axiom is equivalent to the parallel postulate.

A projective correlation of period two. In a polarity, a is called the polar of A, and A the inversion pole a.

Lachlan's terms for a collection of n points.

A collineation which transforms every one-dimensional form projectively. Any collineation which transforms one range into a projectively related range is a projective ...

The Reuleaux tetrahedron, sometimes also called the spherical tetrahedron, is the three-dimensional solid common to four spheres of equal radius placed so that the center of ...

Suppose for every point x in a manifold M, an inner product <·,·>_x is defined on a tangent space T_xM of M at x. Then the collection of all these inner products is called ...

A surface given by the parametric equations x(u,v) = u (1) y(u,v) = v (2) z(u,v) = 1/3u^3-1/2v^2. (3) The coefficients of the coefficients of the first fundamental form are E ...

A smooth curve is a curve which is a smooth function, where the word "curve" is interpreted in the analytic geometry context. In particular, a smooth curve is a continuous ...
