Two planes that do not intersect are said to be parallel. Two planes specified in Hessian normal form are parallel iff |n_1^^·n_2^^|=1 or n_1^^xn_2^^=0 (Gellert et al. 1989, ...

In three dimensions, a parallelepiped is a prism whose faces are all parallelograms. Let A, B, and C be the basis vectors defining a three-dimensional parallelepiped. Then ...

A hypersphere S^n is parallelizable if there are n vector fields that are linearly independent at each point. There exist only three parallelizable spheres: S^1, S^3, and S^7 ...

The parallelogram law gives the rule for vector addition of vectors A and B. The sum A+B of the vectors is obtained by placing them head to tail and drawing the vector from ...

A parallelogram polyomino is a polyomino such that the intersection with every line perpendicular to the main diagonal is a connected segment. The number of parallelogram ...

A parallelohedron is a space-filling polyhedron that fills space using an infinite number of similarly situated copies (Tutton 1964, pp. 567 and 723; Coxeter 1973, pp. ...

At the points where a line X cuts the sides of a triangle DeltaA_1A_2A_3, draw three perpendiculars to the sides, one through each point of intersection. The resulting three ...

Parametric equations are a set of equations that express a set of quantities as explicit functions of a number of independent variables, known as "parameters." For example, ...

An auxiliary latitude also called the reduced latitude and denoted eta or theta. It gives the latitude on a sphere of radius a for which the parallel has the same radius as ...

The distribution with probability density function and distribution function P(x) = (ab^a)/(x^(a+1)) (1) D(x) = 1-(b/x)^a (2) defined over the interval x>=b. It is ...
