  2. Four-vertex theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-vertex_theorem

    The four-vertex theorem was first proved for convex curves (i.e. curves with strictly positive curvature) in 1909 by Syamadas Mukhopadhyaya. [8] His proof utilizes the fact that a point on the curve is an extremum of the curvature function if and only if the osculating circle at that point has fourth-order contact with the curve; in general the osculating circle has only third-order contact ...

  3. X-bar chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-bar_chart

    The X-bar chart is always used in conjunction with a variation chart such as the ¯ and R chart or ¯ and s chart. The R-chart shows sample ranges (difference between the largest and the smallest values in the sample), while the s-chart shows the samples' standard deviation. The R-chart was preferred in times when calculations were performed ...

  4. List of coordinate charts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_coordinate_charts

    Coordinate charts are mathematical objects of topological manifolds, and they have multiple applications in theoretical and applied mathematics. When a differentiable structure and a metric are defined, greater structure exists, and this allows the definition of constructs such as integration and geodesics .

  5. X bar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_bar

    X bar, x̄ (or X̄) or X-bar may refer to: X-bar theory, a component of linguistic theory; Arithmetic mean, a commonly used type of average; An X-bar, a rollover protection structure; Roman numeral 10,000 in vinculum form

  6. Tesseract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesseract

    Since each vertex of a tesseract is adjacent to four edges, the vertex figure of the tesseract is a regular tetrahedron. The dual polytope of the tesseract is the 16-cell with Schläfli symbol {3,3,4}, with which it can be combined to form the compound of tesseract and 16-cell. Each edge of a regular tesseract is of the same length.

  7. Quartic plane curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartic_plane_curve

    The cruciform curve, or cross curve is a quartic plane curve given by the equation = where a and b are two parameters determining the shape of the curve. The cruciform curve is related by a standard quadratic transformation, x ↦ 1/x, y ↦ 1/y to the ellipse a 2 x 2 + b 2 y 2 = 1, and is therefore a rational plane algebraic curve of genus zero.

  8. Feynman diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feynman_diagram

    In the Feynman expansion, this contributes H terms with one half-line ending on a vertex. Lines in a Feynman diagram can now end either on an X vertex, or on an H vertex, and only one line enters an H vertex. The Feynman rule for an H vertex is that a line from an H with momentum k gets a factor of h(k).

  9. 600-cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/600-cell

    The 600-cell is the fifth in the sequence of 6 convex regular 4-polytopes (in order of complexity and size at the same radius). [a] It can be deconstructed into twenty-five overlapping instances of its immediate predecessor the 24-cell, [5] as the 24-cell can be deconstructed into three overlapping instances of its predecessor the tesseract (8-cell), and the 8-cell can be deconstructed into ...
