  2. n-sphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-sphere

    In mathematics, an n-sphere or hypersphere is an ⁠ ⁠-dimensional generalization of the ⁠ ⁠-dimensional circle and ⁠ ⁠-dimensional sphere to any non-negative integer ⁠ ⁠. The circle is considered 1-dimensional, and the sphere 2-dimensional, because the surfaces themselves are 1- and 2-dimensional respectively, not because they ...

  3. Volume of an n-ball - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_of_an_n-ball

    The volume of the n-ball () can be computed by integrating the volume element in spherical coordinates. The spherical coordinate system has a radial coordinate r and angular coordinates φ 1 , …, φ n − 1 , where the domain of each φ except φ n − 1 is [0, π ) , and the domain of φ n − 1 is [0, 2 π ) .

  4. 3-sphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-sphere

    In mathematics, a hypersphere or 3-sphere is a 4-dimensional analogue of a sphere, and is the 3-dimensional n-sphere. In 4-dimensional Euclidean space , it is the set of points equidistant from a fixed central point.

  5. Ball (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    A ball in n dimensions is called a hyperball or n-ball and is bounded by a hypersphere or (n−1)-sphere. Thus, for example, a ball in the Euclidean plane is the same thing as a disk, the area bounded by a circle. In Euclidean 3-space, a ball is taken to be the volume bounded by a 2-dimensional sphere. In a one-dimensional space, a ball is a ...

  6. Sphere packing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphere_packing

    The sphere packing problem is the three-dimensional version of a class of ball-packing problems in arbitrary dimensions. In two dimensions, the equivalent problem is packing circles on a plane. In one dimension it is packing line segments into a linear universe. [10]

  7. Spherical cap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_cap

    An example of a spherical cap in blue (and another in red) In geometry, a spherical cap or spherical dome is a portion of a sphere or of a ball cut off by a plane.It is also a spherical segment of one base, i.e., bounded by a single plane.

  9. Six-dimensional space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six-dimensional_space

    The 5-sphere, or hypersphere in six dimensions, is the five-dimensional surface equidistant from a point. It has symbol S 5, and the equation for the 5-sphere, radius r, centre the origin is = {: ‖ ‖ =}. The volume of six-dimensional space bounded by this 5-sphere is
