  2. Slope field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slope_field

    Solutions to a slope field are functions drawn as solid curves. A slope field shows the slope of a differential equation at certain vertical and horizontal intervals on the x-y plane, and can be used to determine the approximate tangent slope at a point on a curve, where the curve is some solution to the differential equation.

  3. Isocline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isocline

    Fig. 1: Isoclines (blue), slope field (black), and some solution curves (red) of y' = xy. The solution curves are y = C e x 2 / 2 {\displaystyle y=Ce^{x^{2}/2}} . Given a family of curves , assumed to be differentiable , an isocline for that family is formed by the set of points at which some member of the family attains a given slope .

  4. Integral curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integral_curve

    Let M be a Banach manifold of class C r with r ≥ 2. As usual, TM denotes the tangent bundle of M with its natural projection π M : TM → M given by : (,). A vector field on M is a cross-section of the tangent bundle TM, i.e. an assignment to every point of the manifold M of a tangent vector to M at that point.

  5. Bresenham's line algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bresenham's_line_algorithm

    y=f(x)=.5x+1 or f(x,y)=x-2y+2=0 Positive and negative half-planes. The slope-intercept form of a line is written as = = + where is the slope and is the y-intercept. Because this is a function of only , it can't represent a vertical line.

  6. Line drawing algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_drawing_algorithm

    A simple way to parallelize single-color line rasterization is to let multiple line-drawing algorithms draw offset pixels of a certain distance from each other. [2] Another method involves dividing the line into multiple sections of approximately equal length, which are then assigned to different processors for rasterization. The main problem ...

  7. Brachistochrone curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachistochrone_curve

    The curve of fastest descent is not a straight or polygonal line (blue) but a cycloid (red).. In physics and mathematics, a brachistochrone curve (from Ancient Greek βράχιστος χρόνος (brákhistos khrónos) 'shortest time'), [1] or curve of fastest descent, is the one lying on the plane between a point A and a lower point B, where B is not directly below A, on which a bead slides ...

  8. Theil–Sen estimator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theil–Sen_estimator

    It has also been called Sen's slope estimator, [1] [2] slope selection, [3] [4] the single median method, [5] the Kendall robust line-fit method, [6] and the Kendall–Theil robust line. [7] It is named after Henri Theil and Pranab K. Sen , who published papers on this method in 1950 and 1968 respectively, [ 8 ] and after Maurice Kendall ...

  9. Grade (slope) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_(slope)

    l = slope length α = angle of inclination. The grade (US) or gradient (UK) (also called stepth, slope, incline, mainfall, pitch or rise) of a physical feature, landform or constructed line is either the elevation angle of that surface to the horizontal or its tangent. It is a special case of the slope, where zero indicates horizontality. A ...
