  2. Level set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_set

    When n = 3, a level set is called a level surface (or isosurface); so a level surface is the set of all real-valued roots of an equation in three variables x 1, x 2 and x 3. For higher values of n, the level set is a level hypersurface, the set of all real-valued roots of an equation in n > 3 variables. A level set is a special case of a fiber.

  3. Level-set method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level-set_method

    Left image shows zero-level solution. Right image shows the level-set scalar field. The Level-set method (LSM) is a conceptual framework for using level sets as a tool for numerical analysis of surfaces and shapes. LSM can perform numerical computations involving curves and surfaces on a fixed Cartesian grid without having to parameterize these ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_drawing

    Example mechanical drawing. Here is an example of an engineering drawing (an isometric view of the same object is shown above). The different line types are colored for clarity. Black = object line and hatching; Red = hidden line; Blue = center line of piece or opening; Magenta = phantom line or cutting plane line

  5. Technical drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_drawing

    In general, sketching is a quick way to record an idea for later use. Architect's sketches primarily serve as a way to try out different ideas and establish a composition before a more finished work, especially when the finished work is expensive and time-consuming. Architectural sketches, for example, are a kind of diagram. [2]

  6. Surface (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    A sphere is the surface of a solid ball, here having radius r. In mathematics, a surface is a mathematical model of the common concept of a surface.It is a generalization of a plane, but, unlike a plane, it may be curved; this is analogous to a curve generalizing a straight line.

  7. Surface (topology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_(topology)

    The term surface used without qualification refers to surfaces without boundary. In particular, a surface with empty boundary is a surface in the usual sense. A surface with empty boundary which is compact is known as a 'closed' surface. The two-dimensional sphere, the two-dimensional torus, and the real projective plane are examples of closed ...

  8. Surface of general type - Wikipedia

    For these surfaces with second Chern class can be any integer from 3 to 11. Surfaces with all these values are known; a few of the many examples that have been studied are: c 2 = 3: Fake projective plane (Mumford surface). The first example was found by Mumford using p-adic geometry, and there are 50 examples altogether. They have the same ...

  9. Free body diagram - Wikipedia

    (It may be necessary to calculate the stress to which it is subjected, for example.) On the right, the red cylinder has become the free body. In figure 2, the interest has shifted to just the left half of the red cylinder and so now it is the free body on the right. The example illustrates the context sensitivity of the term "free body".
