  3. Map (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Map_(mathematics)

    A map is a function, as in the association of any of the four colored shapes in X to its color in Y. In mathematics, a map or mapping is a function in its general sense. [1] These terms may have originated as from the process of making a geographical map: mapping the Earth surface to a sheet of paper. [2]

    Geometry (from Ancient Greek γεωμετρία (geōmetría) 'land measurement'; from γῆ (gê) 'earth, land' and μέτρον (métron) 'a measure') [1] is a branch of mathematics concerned with properties of space such as the distance, shape, size, and relative position of figures. [2]

    'measure'), is the science and practice of measuring the characteristics of terrain, the shape of the surface of the Earth, and the effects of this surface form on human and natural geography. [1] It gathers various mathematical, statistical and image processing techniques that can be used to quantify morphological, hydrological, ecological and ...

    Geometry is a branch of mathematics concerned with questions of shape, size, relative position of figures, and the properties of space. Geometry is one of the oldest mathematical sciences. Geometry is one of the oldest mathematical sciences.

  7. Geometric figures or List of common geometric figures. As it is, I can't find the names of some simple figures. I shouldn't have to go searching and searching in "polygons" and "curvilinear figures" and "three-dimensional figures." A simple list or table with illustrations and either short descriptions or Wikipedia links would be fine.

  8. Polygram (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygram_(geometry)

    Regular polygrams {n/d}, with red lines showing constant d, and blue lines showing compound sequences k{n/d} In geometry, a generalized polygon can be called a polygram, and named specifically by its number of sides. All polygons are polygrams, but they can also include disconnected sets of edges, called a compound polygon.

  9. Congruence (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congruence_(geometry)

    In geometry, two figures or objects are congruent if they have the same shape and size, or if one has the same shape and size as the mirror image of the other. [ 1 ] More formally, two sets of points are called congruent if, and only if, one can be transformed into the other by an isometry , i.e., a combination of rigid motions , namely a ...
