  2. Polar coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_coordinate_system

    In blue, the point (4, 210°). In mathematics, the polar coordinate system is a two-dimensional coordinate system in which each point on a plane is determined by a distance from a reference point and an angle from a reference direction. The reference point (analogous to the origin of a Cartesian coordinate system) is called the pole, and the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desmos

    Desmos was founded by Eli Luberoff, a math and physics double major from Yale University, [3] and was launched as a startup at TechCrunch 's Disrupt New York conference in 2011. [4] As of September 2012, it had received around 1 million US dollars of funding from Kapor Capital, Learn Capital, Kindler Capital, Elm Street Ventures and Google ...

  4. Drag curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_curve

    Drag curve. The drag curve or drag polar is the relationship between the drag on an aircraft and other variables, such as lift, the coefficient of lift, angle-of-attack or speed. It may be described by an equation or displayed as a graph (sometimes called a "polar plot"). [1] Drag may be expressed as actual drag or the coefficient of drag.

  5. Radar chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_chart

    This spider chart represents the allocated budget versus actual spending for a given organization. A radar chart is a graphical method of displaying multivariate data in the form of a two-dimensional chart of three or more quantitative variables represented on axes starting from the same point. The relative position and angle of the axes is ...

  6. Pole and polar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pole_and_polar

    Pole and polar. The polar line q to a point Q with respect to a circle of radius r centered on the point O. The point P is the inversion point of Q; the polar is the line through P that is perpendicular to the line containing O, P and Q. In geometry, a pole and polar are respectively a point and a line that have a unique reciprocal relationship ...

  7. Polar curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_curve

    In algebraic geometry, the first polar, or simply polar of an algebraic plane curve C of degree n with respect to a point Q is an algebraic curve of degree n −1 which contains every point of C whose tangent line passes through Q. It is used to investigate the relationship between the curve and its dual, for example in the derivation of the ...

  8. Spherical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system

    This is the convention followed in this article. In mathematics, a spherical coordinate system is a coordinate system for three-dimensional space where the position of a given point in space is specified by three real numbers: the radial distance r along the radial line connecting the point to the fixed point of origin; the polar angle θ ...

  9. Rose (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_(mathematics)

    Graphs of roses are composed of petals.A petal is the shape formed by the graph of a half-cycle of the sinusoid that specifies the rose. (A cycle is a portion of a sinusoid that is one period T = ⁠ 2π / k ⁠ long and consists of a positive half-cycle, the continuous set of points where r ≥ 0 and is ⁠ T / 2 ⁠ = ⁠ π / k ⁠ long, and a negative half-cycle is the other half where r ...
