  2. Parametrization (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parametrization_(geometry)

    To parameterize" by itself means "to express in terms of parameters". [ 2 ] Parametrization is a mathematical process consisting of expressing the state of a system , process or model as a function of some independent quantities called parameters .

  3. Parametric equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parametric_equation

    The butterfly curve can be defined by parametric equations of x and y.. In mathematics, a parametric equation expresses several quantities, such as the coordinates of a point, as functions of one or several variables called parameters.

  4. Parametrization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parametrization

    Parametrization, also spelled parameterization, parametrisation or parameterisation, is the process of defining or choosing parameters.. Parametrization may refer more specifically to:

  5. Parametric surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parametric_surface

    In general, parabolic points form a curve on the surface called the parabolic line. The first fundamental form is positive definite, hence its determinant EG − F 2 is positive everywhere. Therefore, the sign of K coincides with the sign of LN − M 2, the determinant of the second fundamental.

  6. Charts on SO (3) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charts_on_SO(3)

    We can parameterize the space of rotations in several ways, but degenerations will always appear. For example, if we use three angles (Euler angles), such parameterization is degenerate at some points on the hypersphere, leading to the problem of gimbal lock. We can avoid this by using four Euclidean coordinates w,x,y,z, with w 2 + x 2 + y 2 ...

  7. Differentiable curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differentiable_curve

    A parametric C r-curve or a C r-parametrization is a vector-valued function: that is r-times continuously differentiable (that is, the component functions of γ are continuously differentiable), where , {}, and I is a non-empty interval of real numbers.

  8. Integration using parametric derivatives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integration_using...

    For example, suppose we want to find the integral . Since this is a product of two functions that are simple to integrate separately, repeated integration by parts is certainly one way to evaluate it.

  9. Distance from a point to a line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Distance_from_a_point_to_a_line

    The line with equation ax + by + c = 0 has slope -a/b, so any line perpendicular to it will have slope b/a (the negative reciprocal). Let (m, n) be the point of intersection of the line ax + by + c = 0 and the line perpendicular to it which passes through the point (x 0, y 0). The line through these two points is perpendicular to the original ...
