  2. Paraboloid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraboloid

    The paraboloid is hyperbolic if every other plane section is either a hyperbola, or two crossing lines (in the case of a section by a tangent plane). The paraboloid is elliptic if every other nonempty plane section is either an ellipse, or a single point (in the case of a section by a tangent plane). A paraboloid is either elliptic or hyperbolic.

  3. Paraboloidal coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraboloidal_coordinates

    Hence, the coordinates can be used to solve these equations in geometries with paraboloidal symmetry, i.e. with boundary conditions specified on sections of paraboloids. The Helmholtz equation is ( ∇ 2 + k 2 ) ψ = 0 {\displaystyle (\nabla ^{2}+k^{2})\psi =0} .

    The red paraboloid corresponds to τ=2, the blue paraboloid corresponds to σ=1, and the yellow half-plane corresponds to φ=-60°. The three surfaces intersect at the point P (shown as a black sphere) with Cartesian coordinates roughly (1.0, -1.732, 1.5).

  5. Ruled surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruled_surface

    The hyperbolic paraboloid and the hyperboloid of one sheet are doubly ruled surfaces. The plane is the only surface which contains at least three distinct lines through each of its points (Fuchs & Tabachnikov 2007). The properties of being ruled or doubly ruled are preserved by projective maps, and therefore are concepts of projective geometry.

  6. Roman surface - Wikipedia

    Join the paraboloids y = xz and x = yz. The result is shown in Figure 1. Figure 1. The paraboloid y = x z is shown in blue and orange. The paraboloid x = y z is shown in cyan and purple. In the image the paraboloids are seen to intersect along the z = 0 axis. If the paraboloids are extended, they should also be seen to intersect along the lines ...

  7. Euclidean planes in three-dimensional space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_planes_in_three...

    This familiar equation for a plane is called the general form of the equation of the plane or just the plane equation. [6] Thus for example a regression equation of the form y = d + ax + cz (with b = −1) establishes a best-fit plane in three-dimensional space when there are two explanatory variables.

  8. Hyperbolic geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_geometry

    The Poincaré half-plane model takes one-half of the Euclidean plane, bounded by a line B of the plane, to be a model of the hyperbolic plane. The line B is not included in the model. The Euclidean plane may be taken to be a plane with the Cartesian coordinate system and the x-axis is taken as line B and the half plane is the upper half ( y > 0 ...

  9. Saddle point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saddle_point

    Hyperbolic paraboloid A model of an elliptic hyperboloid of one sheet A monkey saddle. A saddle surface is a smooth surface containing one or more saddle points.. Classical examples of two-dimensional saddle surfaces in the Euclidean space are second order surfaces, the hyperbolic paraboloid = (which is often referred to as "the saddle surface" or "the standard saddle surface") and the ...
