A quadric is a quadratic surface. A surface of the form (x^2)/(a^2+theta)+(y^2)/(b^2+theta)+(z^2)/(c^2+theta)=1 is also called a quadric, and theta is said to be the ...

The number theta in the quadric (x^2)/(a^2+theta)+(y^2)/(b^2+theta)+(z^2)/(c^2+theta)=1 is called the parameter.

A flexible polyhedron due to C. Schwabe (with the appearance of having four horns) which flexes from one totally flat configuration to another, passing through intermediate ...

The quadrifolium is the 4-petalled rose curve having n=2. It has polar equation r=asin(2theta) (1) and Cartesian equation (x^2+y^2)^3=4a^2x^2y^2. (2) The area of the ...

The catacaustic of the quadrifolium with arbitrary radiant point is a complicated function. A few example are illustrated above.

A quadrilateral, sometimes also known as a tetragon or quadrangle (Johnson 1929, p. 61) is a four-sided polygon. If not explicitly stated, all four polygon vertices are ...

A quadrilateral tiling is a tiling of the plane by identical quadrilaterals. Any nonself-intersecting quadrilateral (Wells 1991, p. 208) tiles the plane, as illustrated above.

In the American system, 10^(15).

The analog of trilinear coordinates for tetrahedra.

A word derived from the Latin roots quad- (four) and via (ways, roads), therefore a crossing of four roads. In medieval universities, the quadrivium consisted of the four ...
