  2. 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 ...

  3. Cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder

    If the elements of the cylinder are perpendicular to the planes containing the bases, the cylinder is a right cylinder, otherwise it is called an oblique cylinder. If the bases are disks (regions whose boundary is a circle) the cylinder is called a circular cylinder. In some elementary treatments, a cylinder always means a circular cylinder. [2]

    Cylindrical equal-area projection with standard parallel at the equator and an aspect ratio of π (3.14). 1910 Behrmann: Cylindrical Equal-area Walter Behrmann: Cylindrical equal-area projection with standard parallels at 30°N/S and an aspect ratio of (3/4)π ≈ 2.356. 2002 Hobo–Dyer: Cylindrical Equal-area Mick Dyer

  5. Conformal map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conformal_map

    In plane geometry there are three types of angles that may be preserved in a conformal map. [3] Each is hosted by its own real algebra, ordinary complex numbers, split-complex numbers, and dual numbers. The conformal maps are described by linear fractional transformations in each case. [4]

  6. Conformal map projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conformal_map_projection

    The counterexamples are equirectangular and equal-area cylindrical projections (of normal aspects). These projections expand meridian-wise and parallel-wise by different ratios respectively. Thus, parallels and meridians cross rectangularly on the map, but these projections do not preserve other angles; i.e. these projections are not conformal.

  7. 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 ...

  8. Cylindrical equal-area projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylindrical_equal-area...

    How the Earth is projected onto a cylinder. The projection: is cylindrical, that means it has a cylindrical projection surface [2] is normal, that means it has a normal aspect; is an equal-area projection, that means any two areas in the map have the same relative size compared to their size on the sphere.

  9. Solid of revolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_of_revolution

    Two common methods for finding the volume of a solid of revolution are the disc method and the shell method of integration.To apply these methods, it is easiest to draw the graph in question; identify the area that is to be revolved about the axis of revolution; determine the volume of either a disc-shaped slice of the solid, with thickness δx, or a cylindrical shell of width δx; and then ...
