Given a metric g_(alphabeta), the discriminant is defined by g = det(g_(alphabeta)) (1) = |g_(11) g_(12); g_(21) g_(22)| (2) = g_(11)g_(22)-(g_(12))^2. (3) Let g be the ...

A topology induced by the metric g defined on a metric space X. The open sets are all subsets that can be realized as the unions of open balls B(x_0,r)={x in X|g(x_0,x)<r}, ...

The n-roll mill curve is given by the equation x^n-(n; 2)x^(n-2)y^2+(n; 4)x^(n-4)y^4-...=a^n, where (n; k) is a binomial coefficient.

An image of an object obtained by reflecting it in a mirror so that the signs of one of its coordinates are reversed.

Two objects form a mirror pair if one can be translated and rotated in such a way that the two objects together possess mirror symmetry, i.e., one is the mirror image of the ...

A quartic surface named after its resemblance to the liturgical headdress worn by bishops and given by the equation 4x^2(x^2+y^2+z^2)-y^2(1-y^2-z^2)=0.

A tensor having contravariant and covariant indices.

A nonuniform rational B-spline surface of degree (p,q) is defined by ...

Given the center of a circle, divide the circle into four equal arcs using a compass alone (a Mascheroni construction).

A curve also known as swan-like curve or streamline. It is given by the polar equation r=atheta+b, where a>0.
