  2. Method of exhaustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_exhaustion

    Proposition 2: The area of circles is proportional to the square of their diameters. [3] Proposition 5: The volumes of two tetrahedra of the same height are proportional to the areas of their triangular bases. [4] Proposition 10: The volume of a cone is a third of the volume of the corresponding cylinder which has the same base and height. [5]

  3. MapReduce - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MapReduce

    MapReduce is a programming model and an associated implementation for processing and generating big data sets with a parallel and distributed algorithm on a cluster. [1] [2] [3]A MapReduce program is composed of a map procedure, which performs filtering and sorting (such as sorting students by first name into queues, one queue for each name), and a reduce method, which performs a summary ...

  4. Steinmetz solid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steinmetz_solid

    The generation of a bicylinder Calculating the volume of a bicylinder. A bicylinder generated by two cylinders with radius r has the volume =, and the surface area [1] [6] =.. The upper half of a bicylinder is the square case of a domical vault, a dome-shaped solid based on any convex polygon whose cross-sections are similar copies of the polygon, and analogous formulas calculating the volume ...

  5. Capsule (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    A two-dimensional orthographic projection at the left with a three-dimensional one at the right depicting a capsule. A capsule (from Latin capsula, "small box or chest"), or stadium of revolution, is a basic three-dimensional geometric shape consisting of a cylinder with hemispherical ends. [1] Another name for this shape is spherocylinder. [2 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packing_problems

    For example, it is possible to pack 147 rectangles of size (137,95) in a rectangle of size (1600,1230). Packing different rectangles in a rectangle : The problem of packing multiple rectangles of varying widths and heights in an enclosing rectangle of minimum area (but with no boundaries on the enclosing rectangle's width or height) has an ...

  7. Mapping cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mapping_cylinder

    One can use the mapping cylinder to construct homotopy colimits: [citation needed] this follows from the general statement that any category with all pushouts and coequalizers has all colimits. That is, given a diagram, replace the maps by cofibrations (using the mapping cylinder) and then take the ordinary pointwise limit (one must take a bit ...

  8. Cylinder - Wikipedia

    Since the values for the cylinder were already known, he obtained, for the first time, the corresponding values for the sphere. The volume of a sphere of radius r is ⁠ 4 / 3 ⁠ π r 3 = ⁠ 2 / 3 ⁠ (2 π r 3). The surface area of this sphere is 4 π r 2 = ⁠ 2 / 3 ⁠ (6 π r 2). A sculpted sphere and cylinder were placed on the tomb of ...

  9. Dupin cyclide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dupin_cyclide

    Whereas a quadric can be described as the zero-set of second order polynomial in Cartesian coordinates (x 1,x 2,x 3), a cyclide is given by the zero-set of a second order polynomial in (x 1,x 2,x 3,r 2), where r 2 =x 1 2 +x 2 2 +x 3 2. Thus it is a quartic surface in Cartesian coordinates, with an equation of the form:
