  2. Projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projection

    Projection (mathematics), any of several different types of geometrical mappings Projection (linear algebra), a linear transformation P from a vector space to itself such that P 2 = P; Projection (set theory), one of two closely related types of functions or operations in set theory; Projection (measure theory), use of a projection map in ...

  3. Map projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Map_projection

    [1] [2] [3] In a map projection, coordinates, often expressed as latitude and longitude, of locations from the surface of the globe are transformed to coordinates on a plane. [4] [5] Projection is a necessary step in creating a two-dimensional map and is one of the essential elements of cartography.

    Pharaoh (/ ˈ f ɛər oʊ /, US also / ˈ f eɪ. r oʊ /; [4] Egyptian: pr ꜥꜣ; [note 1] Coptic: ⲡⲣ̄ⲣⲟ, romanized: Pǝrro; Biblical Hebrew: פַּרְעֹה ‎ Parʿō) [5] was the title of the monarch of ancient Egypt from the First Dynasty (c. 3150 BCE) until the annexation of Egypt by the Roman Republic in 30 BCE.

  5. Projective geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projective_geometry

    In mathematics, projective geometry is the study of geometric properties that are invariant with respect to projective transformations.This means that, compared to elementary Euclidean geometry, projective geometry has a different setting (projective space) and a selective set of basic geometric concepts.

  6. Projection (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In mathematics, a projection is an idempotent mapping of a set (or other mathematical structure) into a subset (or sub-structure). In this case, idempotent means that projecting twice is the same as projecting once. The restriction to a subspace of a projection is also called a projection, even if the idempotence property is lost. An everyday ...

  8. 3D projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_projection

    A 3D projection (or graphical projection) is a design technique used to display a three-dimensional (3D) object on a two-dimensional (2D) surface. These projections rely on visual perspective and aspect analysis to project a complex object for viewing capability on a simpler plane.

  9. Ptah - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ptah

    As such, he was particularly revered by metalworkers and blacksmiths, but he was equally feared because it was he who caused earthquakes and tremors of the Earth's crust. In this form also, Ptah is the master of ceremonies for Heb Sed, a ceremony traditionally attesting to the first thirty years of a pharaoh's reign.
