  2. Pseudosphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudosphere

    Just as the sphere has at every point a positively curved geometry of a dome the whole pseudosphere has at every point the negatively curved geometry of a saddle. As early as 1693 Christiaan Huygens found that the volume and the surface area of the pseudosphere are finite, [ 3 ] despite the infinite extent of the shape along the axis of rotation.

  3. Regular map (graph theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_map_(graph_theory)

    The Dyck map is a regular map of 12 octagons on a genus-3 surface. Its underlying graph, the Dyck graph, can also form a regular map of 16 hexagons in a torus. The following is a complete list of regular maps in surfaces of positive Euler characteristic, χ: the sphere and the projective plane. [2]

  4. Sphere eversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphere_eversion

    In differential topology, sphere eversion is a theoretical process of turning a sphere inside out in a three-dimensional space (the word eversion means "turning inside out"). It is possible to smoothly and continuously turn a sphere inside out in this way (allowing self-intersections of the sphere's surface) without cutting or tearing it or ...

  5. Stereographic projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereographic_projection

    The unit sphere S 2 in three-dimensional space R 3 is the set of points (x, y, z) such that x 2 + y 2 + z 2 = 1. Let N = (0, 0, 1) be the "north pole", and let M be the rest of the sphere. The plane z = 0 runs through the center of the sphere; the "equator" is the intersection of the sphere with this plane.

  6. Desmos - Wikipedia

    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 [update] , it had received around 1 million US dollars of funding from Kapor Capital , Learn Capital, Kindler Capital, Elm Street Ventures and ...

  7. 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.

  8. Graph embedding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_embedding

    An embedded graph uniquely defines cyclic orders of edges incident to the same vertex. The set of all these cyclic orders is called a rotation system.Embeddings with the same rotation system are considered to be equivalent and the corresponding equivalence class of embeddings is called combinatorial embedding (as opposed to the term topological embedding, which refers to the previous ...

  9. Delaunay triangulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delaunay_triangulation

    The closest neighbor b to any point p is on an edge bp in the Delaunay triangulation since the nearest neighbor graph is a subgraph of the Delaunay triangulation. The Delaunay triangulation is a geometric spanner : In the plane ( d = 2 ), the shortest path between two vertices, along Delaunay edges, is known to be no longer than 1.998 times the ...
