  2. Spherical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system

    For example, one sphere that is described in Cartesian coordinates with the equation x 2 + y 2 + z 2 = c 2 can be described in spherical coordinates by the simple equation r = c. (In this system—shown here in the mathematics convention—the sphere is adapted as a unit sphere, where the radius is set to unity and then can generally be ignored ...

  3. Euler characteristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_characteristic

    One of the few graph theory papers of Cauchy also proves this result. Via stereographic projection the plane maps to the 2-sphere, such that a connected graph maps to a polygonal decomposition of the sphere, which has Euler characteristic 2. This viewpoint is implicit in Cauchy's proof of Euler's formula given below.

  4. Spherical geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_geometry

    The sum of the angles of a spherical triangle is not equal to 180°. A sphere is a curved surface, but locally the laws of the flat (planar) Euclidean geometry are good approximations. In a small triangle on the face of the earth, the sum of the angles is only slightly more than 180 degrees. A sphere with a spherical triangle on it.

  5. Genus (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Thus, a planar graph has genus 0, because it can be drawn on a sphere without self-crossing. The non-orientable genus of a graph is the minimal integer n such that the graph can be drawn without crossing itself on a sphere with n cross-caps (i.e. a non-orientable surface of (non-orientable) genus n). (This number is also called the demigenus.)

  6. Sphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphere

    A sphere (from Greek σφαῖρα, sphaîra) [1] is a geometrical object that is a three-dimensional analogue to a two-dimensional circle.Formally, a sphere is the set of points that are all at the same distance r from a given point in three-dimensional space. [2]

  7. Spherical harmonics - Wikipedia

    Furthermore, a change of variables t = cos θ transforms this equation into the Legendre equation, whose solution is a multiple of the associated Legendre polynomial P m ℓ (cos θ). Finally, the equation for R has solutions of the form R(r) = A r ℓ + B r −ℓ − 1; requiring the solution to be regular throughout R 3 forces B = 0. [3]

    a 0-sphere is a pair of points ⁠ {, +} ⁠, and is the boundary of a line segment (⁠ ⁠-ball). a 1-sphere is a circle of radius ⁠ ⁠ centered at ⁠ ⁠, and is the boundary of a disk (⁠ ⁠-ball).

  9. Curvature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curvature

    A positive curvature corresponds to the inverse square radius of curvature; an example is a sphere or hypersphere. An example of negatively curved space is hyperbolic geometry (see also: non-positive curvature). A space or space-time with zero curvature is called flat. For example, Euclidean space is an example of a flat space, and Minkowski ...
