  2. List of coordinate charts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_coordinate_charts

    Coordinate charts are mathematical objects of topological manifolds, and they have multiple applications in theoretical and applied mathematics. When a differentiable structure and a metric are defined, greater structure exists, and this allows the definition of constructs such as integration and geodesics .

  3. Atlas (topology) - Wikipedia

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

    A transition map provides a way of comparing two charts of an atlas. To make this comparison, we consider the composition of one chart with the inverse of the other. This composition is not well-defined unless we restrict both charts to the intersection of their domains of definition. (For example, if we have a chart of Europe and a chart of ...

  4. Isothermal coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isothermal_coordinates

    In mathematics, specifically in differential geometry, isothermal coordinates on a Riemannian manifold are local coordinates where the metric is conformal to the Euclidean metric. This means that in isothermal coordinates, the Riemannian metric locally has the form = (+ +),

  5. Geometric mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_mean

    The geometric mean of growth over periods yields the equivalent constant growth rate that would yield the same final amount. As an example, suppose an orange tree yields 100 oranges one year and then 180, 210 and 300 the following years, for growth rates of 80%, 16.7% and 42.9% respectively.

  6. Category:Geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Geometry

    Geometry is the branch of mathematics dealing with spatial relationships. The word Geometry means to measure the earth. The word Geometry means to measure the earth. From experience, or possibly intuitively, people characterize space by certain fundamental qualities, which are termed axioms in geometry.

  7. Riemannian manifold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemannian_manifold

    In particular, as seen by the Euclidean geometry of a coordinate chart around p, any curve from p to q must first pass though a certain "inner radius." The assumed continuity of the Riemannian metric g only allows this "coordinate chart geometry" to distort the "true geometry" by some bounded factor.

Commonly used for denoting any strict order. 3. Between two groups, may mean that the second one is a proper subgroup of the first one. ≤ 1.

  9. Girth (graph theory) - Wikipedia

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

    A cubic graph (all vertices have degree three) of girth g that is as small as possible is known as a g-cage (or as a (3,g)-cage).The Petersen graph is the unique 5-cage (it is the smallest cubic graph of girth 5), the Heawood graph is the unique 6-cage, the McGee graph is the unique 7-cage and the Tutte eight cage is the unique 8-cage.
