A mathematical symbol is a figure or a combination of figures that is used to represent a mathematical object, an action on mathematical objects, a relation between mathematical objects, or for structuring the other symbols that occur in a formula. As formulas are entirely constituted with symbols of various types, many symbols are needed for ...
Pappus chain – Ring of circles between two tangent circles; Polar circle (geometry) – Unique circle centered at a given triangle's orthocenter; Power center (geometry) – For 3 circles, the intersection of the radical axes of each pair; Salinon – Geometric shape; Semicircle – Geometric shape; Squircle – Shape between a square and a ...
U+2609 ☉ SUN (Planet symbol in astronomy) Gold (Alchemical symbols: planetary metals) Gardiner N5 (U+131F3 ㇳ EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPH N005): The sun, part of the representation of the name of Ra in Egyptian hieroglyphs. (This hieroglyph is shown conventionally with a small circle (rather than a dot) with the larger circle.

Among the fonts in widespread use, [6] [7] full implementation is provided by Segoe UI Symbol and significant partial implementation of this range is provided by Arial Unicode MS and Lucida Sans Unicode, which include coverage for 83% (80 out of 96) and 82% (79 out of 96) of the symbols, respectively.
Ptolemy used a circle of diameter 120, and gave chord lengths accurate to two sexagesimal (base sixty) digits after the integer part. [2] The chord function is defined geometrically as shown in the picture. The chord of an angle is the length of the chord between two points on a unit circle separated by that central angle.
In taxicab geometry, p = 1. Taxicab circles are squares with sides oriented at a 45° angle to the coordinate axes. While each side would have length using a Euclidean metric, where r is the circle's radius, its length in taxicab geometry is 2r. Thus, a circle's circumference is 8r.
There is only one polytope in 1 dimension, whose boundaries are the two endpoints of a line segment, represented by the empty Schläfli symbol {}. Two-dimensional regular polytopes [ edit ]
