  2. Prince Rupert's cube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Rupert's_cube

    The problem of finding the largest square that lies entirely within a unit cube is closely related, and has the same solution. Prince Rupert's cube is named after Prince Rupert of the Rhine , who asked whether a cube could be passed through a hole made in another cube of the same size without splitting the cube into two pieces.

  3. Euclidean vector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_vector

    The resulting vector is sometimes called the resultant vector of a and b. The addition may be represented graphically by placing the tail of the arrow b at the head of the arrow a, and then drawing an arrow from the tail of a to the head of b. The new arrow drawn represents the vector a + b, as illustrated below: [7] The addition of two vectors ...

  4. Sums of three cubes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sums_of_three_cubes

    Semi-log plot of solutions of + + = for integer , , and , and .Green bands denote values of proven not to have a solution.. In the mathematics of sums of powers, it is an open problem to characterize the numbers that can be expressed as a sum of three cubes of integers, allowing both positive and negative cubes in the sum.

  5. Triple product - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_product

    (For example, the factor of 2 used for doubling a vector does not change if the vector is in spherical vs. rectangular coordinates.) However, if each vector is transformed by a matrix then the triple product ends up being multiplied by the determinant of the transformation matrix, which could be quite arbitrary for a non-rotation.

  6. Resultant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resultant

    Macaulay's resultant is a polynomial in the coefficients of these n homogeneous polynomials that vanishes if and only if the polynomials have a common non-zero solution in an algebraically closed field containing the coefficients, or, equivalently, if the n hyper surfaces defined by the polynomials have a common zero in the n –1 dimensional ...

  7. Parallelogram of force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelogram_of_force

    Figure 1: Parallelogram construction for adding vectors. This construction has the same result as moving F 2 so its tail coincides with the head of F 1, and taking the net force as the vector joining the tail of F 1 to the head of F 2. This procedure can be repeated to add F 3 to the resultant F 1 + F 2, and so forth.

  8. Doubling the cube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubling_the_cube

    Doubling the cube, also known as the Delian problem, is an ancient [a] [1]: 9 geometric problem. Given the edge of a cube , the problem requires the construction of the edge of a second cube whose volume is double that of the first.

  9. Marching cubes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marching_cubes

    Head and cerebral structures (hidden) extracted from 150 MRI slices using marching cubes (about 150,000 triangles). Marching cubes is a computer graphics algorithm, published in the 1987 SIGGRAPH proceedings by Lorensen and Cline, [1] for extracting a polygonal mesh of an isosurface from a three-dimensional discrete scalar field (the elements of which are sometimes called voxels).
