Let (X,tau) be a topological space, and let p in X. Then the arc component of p is union {A subset= X:A is an arc and p in A}.

A unit of angular measure equal to 60 arc seconds, or 1/60 of a degree. The arc minute is denoted ^' (not to be confused with the symbol for feet).

The 4-polyhex illustrated above (Gardner 1978, p. 147).

The inverse curve of the Archimedean spiral r=atheta^(1/n) with inversion center at the origin and inversion radius k is the Archimedean spiral r=k/atheta^(-1/n).

Draw the perpendicular line from the intersection of the two small semicircles in the arbelos. The two circles C_1 and C_2 tangent to this line, the large semicircle, and ...

Let M be the midpoint of the arc AMB. Pick C at random and pick D such that MD_|_AC (where _|_ denotes perpendicular). Then AD=DC+BC.

Cut a sphere by a plane in such a way that the volumes of the spherical segments have a given ratio.

Taking the origin as the inversion center, Archimedes' spiral r=atheta inverts to the hyperbolic spiral r=a/theta.

A map F from R^n to R^n is area-preserving if m(F^(-1)(A))=m(A) for every subregion A of R^n, where m(A) is the n-dimensional measure of A. A linear transformation is ...

The area element for a surface with first fundamental form ds^2=Edu^2+2Fdudv+Gdv^2 is dA=sqrt(EG-F^2)du ^ dv, where du ^ dv is the wedge product.
