  2. Asymptote - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptote

    Asymptotes are used in procedures of curve sketching. An asymptote serves as a guide line to show the behavior of the curve towards infinity. [10] In order to get better approximations of the curve, curvilinear asymptotes have also been used [11] although the term asymptotic curve seems to be preferred. [12]

  3. Asymptotology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptotology

    The field of asymptotics is normally first encountered in school geometry with the introduction of the asymptote, a line to which a curve tends at infinity. The word Ασύμπτωτος (asymptotos) in Greek means non-coincident and puts strong emphasis on the point that approximation does not turn into coincidence.

  4. Asymptotic analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptotic_analysis

    If f(n) = n 2 + 3n, then as n becomes very large, the term 3n becomes insignificant compared to n 2. The function f(n) is said to be "asymptotically equivalent to n 2, as n → ∞". This is often written symbolically as f (n) ~ n 2, which is read as "f(n) is asymptotic to n 2". An example of an important asymptotic result is the prime number ...

  5. Hyperbola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbola

    This property can be used for the construction of further points of the hyperbola if a point and the asymptotes are given. If the chord degenerates into a tangent , then the touching point divides the line segment between the asymptotes in two halves.

  6. Topology optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topology_optimization

    Topology optimization has a wide range of applications in aerospace, mechanical, bio-chemical and civil engineering. Currently, engineers mostly use topology optimization at the concept level of a design process. Due to the free forms that naturally occur, the result is often difficult to manufacture.

  7. Hyperbolic trajectory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_trajectory

    The eccentricity is directly related to the angle between the asymptotes. With eccentricity just over 1 the hyperbola is a sharp "v" shape. At = the asymptotes are at right angles. With > the asymptotes are more than 120° apart, and the periapsis distance is greater than the semi major axis. As eccentricity increases further the motion ...

  8. Roblox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROBLOX

    Roblox occasionally hosts real-life and virtual events. They have in the past hosted events such as BloxCon, which was a convention for ordinary players on the platform. [ 99 ] Roblox operates annual Easter egg hunts [ 100 ] and also hosts an annual event called the "Bloxy Awards", an awards ceremony that also functions as a fundraiser.

  9. Asymptotic curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptotic_curve

    The asymptotic directions are the same as the asymptotes of the hyperbola of the Dupin indicatrix through a hyperbolic point, or the unique asymptote through a parabolic point. [1] An asymptotic direction is a direction along which the normal curvature is zero: take the plane spanned by the direction and the surface's normal at that point. The ...
