  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

    An open cylinder is a cylindrical surface without the bases. The height (or altitude) of a cylinder is the perpendicular distance between its bases. The cylinder obtained by rotating a line segment about a fixed line that it is parallel to is a cylinder of revolution. A cylinder of revolution is a right circular cylinder.

  4. 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.

  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. 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 ...

  7. Vector fields in cylindrical and spherical coordinates

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_fields_in...

    Vectors are defined in cylindrical coordinates by (ρ, φ, z), where . ρ is the length of the vector projected onto the xy-plane,; φ is the angle between the projection of the vector onto the xy-plane (i.e. ρ) and the positive x-axis (0 ≤ φ < 2π),

  8. Cylindrical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylindrical_coordinate_system

    Cylindrical coordinates are useful in connection with objects and phenomena that have some rotational symmetry about the longitudinal axis, such as water flow in a straight pipe with round cross-section, heat distribution in a metal cylinder, electromagnetic fields produced by an electric current in a long, straight wire, accretion disks in ...

  9. Cylindrical equal-area projection - Wikipedia

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

    The formulae presume a spherical model and use these definitions: [3] λ is the longitude; λ 0 is the central meridian; φ is the latitude; φ 0 is the standard latitude; S is the stretch factor; x is the horizontal coordinate of the projected location on the map; y is the vertical coordinate of the projected location on the map
