  2. Spherical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system

    To plot any dot from its spherical coordinates (r, θ, φ), where θ is inclination, the user would: move r units from the origin in the zenith reference direction (z-axis); then rotate by the amount of the azimuth angle (φ) about the origin from the designated azimuth reference direction, (i.e., either the x– or y–axis, see Definition ...

  3. Domain (mathematical analysis) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_(mathematical_analysis)

    In mathematical analysis, a domain or region is a non-empty, connected, and open set in a topological space. In particular, it is any non-empty connected open subset of the real coordinate space R n or the complex coordinate space C n. A connected open subset of coordinate space is frequently used for the domain of a function. [a]

  4. Cartesian coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_coordinate_system

    The orientation is usually chosen so that the 90-degree angle from the first axis to the second axis looks counter-clockwise when seen from the point (0, 0, 1); a convention that is commonly called the right-hand rule. The coordinate surfaces of the Cartesian coordinates (x, y, z). The z-axis is vertical and the x-axis is

  5. Open set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_set

    Example: the blue circle represents the set of points (x, y) satisfying x 2 + y 2 = r 2. The red disk represents the set of points (x, y) satisfying x 2 + y 2 < r 2. The red set is an open set, the blue set is its boundary set, and the union of the red and blue sets is a closed set. In mathematics, an open set is a generalization of an open ...

  6. Set function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_function

    In mathematics, especially measure theory, a set function is a function whose domain is a family of subsets of some given set and that (usually) takes its values in the extended real number line {}, which consists of the real numbers and .

  7. K-topology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-topology

    Let R be the set of real numbers and let = {/: =,, …}. The K-topology on R is the topology obtained by taking as a base the collection of all open intervals ( a , b ) {\displaystyle (a,b)} together with all sets of the form ( a , b ) ∖ K . {\displaystyle (a,b)\setminus K.} [ 1 ] The neighborhoods of a point x ≠ 0 {\displaystyle x\neq 0 ...

  8. Real number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_number

    The set of real numbers, sometimes called "the reals", is traditionally denoted by a bold R, often using blackboard bold, ⁠ ⁠. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The adjective real , used in the 17th century by René Descartes , distinguishes real numbers from imaginary numbers such as the square roots of −1 .

  9. Axis–angle representation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axis–angle_representation

    The angle θ and axis unit vector e define a rotation, concisely represented by the rotation vector θe.. In mathematics, the axis–angle representation parameterizes a rotation in a three-dimensional Euclidean space by two quantities: a unit vector e indicating the direction of an axis of rotation, and an angle of rotation θ describing the magnitude and sense (e.g., clockwise) of the ...
