  2. Parallel play - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_play

    Parallel play is a form of play in which children play adjacent to each other, but do not try to influence one another's behavior; it typically begins around 24–30 months. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is one of Parten's stages of play , following onlooker play and preceding associative play.

  3. Parallel (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    2) In definition 15 he introduces parallel lines in this way; "Straight lines which have the same direction, but are not parts of the same straight line, are called parallel lines." Wilson (1868 , p. 12) Augustus De Morgan reviewed this text and declared it a failure, primarily on the basis of this definition and the way Wilson used it to prove ...

  4. Affine plane (incidence geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affine_plane_(incidence...

    The lines in any parallel class form a partition the points of the affine plane. Each of the n + 1 lines that pass through a single point lies in a different parallel class. The parallel class structure of an affine plane of order n may be used to construct a set of n − 1 mutually orthogonal latin squares. Only the incidence relations are ...

  5. Geometric terms of location - Wikipedia

    Tangential – intersecting a curve at a point and parallel to the curve at that point. Collinear – in the same line; Parallel – in the same direction. Transverse – intersecting at any angle, i.e. not parallel. Orthogonal (or perpendicular) – at a right angle (at the point of intersection).

    Parallel (latitude), an imaginary east–west line circling a globe; Parallel of declination, used in astronomy; Parallel, a geometric term of location meaning "in the same direction" Parallel electrical circuits

  7. Parallelism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelism

    Parallel computing, the simultaneous execution on multiple processors of different parts of a program In the analysis of parallel algorithms, the maximum possible speedup of a computation; Parallel evolution, the independent emergence of a similar trait in different unrelated species; Parallel (geometry), the property of parallel lines

  8. Transversal (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    Two lines are parallel if and only if the two angles of any pair of consecutive interior angles of any transversal are supplementary (sum to 180°). Proposition 1.28 of Euclid's Elements , a theorem of absolute geometry (hence valid in both hyperbolic and Euclidean Geometry ), proves that if the angles of a pair of consecutive interior angles ...

  9. Parallel curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_curve

    In this case, one gets a parallel curve on the opposite side of the curve (see diagram on the parallel curves of a circle). One can easily check that a parallel curve of a line is a parallel line in the common sense, and the parallel curve of a circle is a concentric circle.
