  2. Ternary operation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ternary_operation

    In the Euclidean plane with points a, b, c referred to an origin, the ternary operation [,,] = + has been used to define free vectors. [2] Since (abc) = d implies b – a = c – d, the directed line segments b – a and c – d are equipollent and are associated with the same free

  3. Plane (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    The archetypical example is the real projective plane, also known as the extended Euclidean plane. [4] This example, in slightly different guises, is important in algebraic geometry, topology and projective geometry where it may be denoted variously by PG(2, R), RP 2, or P 2 (R), among other notations.

    The archetypical example is the real projective plane, also known as the extended Euclidean plane. [1] This example, in slightly different guises, is important in algebraic geometry , topology and projective geometry where it may be denoted variously by PG(2, R ) , RP 2 , or P 2 ( R ), among other notations.

  5. Euclidean plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_plane

    In mathematics, a Euclidean plane is a Euclidean space of dimension two, denoted or . It is a geometric space in which two real numbers are required to determine the position of each point . It is an affine space , which includes in particular the concept of parallel lines .

  6. Ternary equivalence relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ternary_equivalence_relation

    The classic example is the relation of collinearity among three points in Euclidean space. In an abstract set, a ternary equivalence relation determines a collection of equivalence classes or pencils that form a linear space in the sense of incidence geometry. In the same way, a binary equivalence relation on a set determines a partition.

  7. Euclidean planes in three-dimensional space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_planes_in_three...

    Plane equation in normal form. In Euclidean geometry, a plane is a flat two-dimensional surface that extends indefinitely. Euclidean planes often arise as subspaces of three-dimensional space. A prototypical example is one of a room's walls, infinitely extended and assumed infinitesimal thin.

  8. Octant (solid geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octant_(solid_geometry)

    The eight (±,±,±) coordinates of the cube vertices are used to denote them. The horizontal plane shows the four quadrants between x- and y-axis. (Vertex numbers are little-endian balanced ternary.) An octant in solid geometry is one of the eight divisions of a Euclidean three-dimensional coordinate system defined

  9. Affine geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affine_geometry

    Suppose A, B, C are on one line and A', B', C' on another. If the lines AB' and A'B are parallel and the lines BC' and B'C are parallel, then the lines CA' and C'A are parallel. (This is the affine version of Pappus's hexagon theorem). The full axiom system proposed has point, line, and line containing point as primitive notions:
