  2. Curve fitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_fitting

    Fitting of a noisy curve by an asymmetrical peak model, with an iterative process (Gauss–Newton algorithm with variable damping factor α).Curve fitting [1] [2] is the process of constructing a curve, or mathematical function, that has the best fit to a series of data points, [3] possibly subject to constraints.

  5. Ruled surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruled_surface

    This is equivalent to saying that they are birational to the product of a curve and a projective line. Sometimes a ruled surface is defined to be one satisfying the stronger condition that it has a fibration over a curve with fibers that are projective lines. This excludes the projective plane, which has a projective line though every point but ...

  6. Hyperbola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbola

    A hyperbola is an open curve with two branches, the intersection of a plane with both halves of a double cone.The plane does not have to be parallel to the axis of the cone; the hyperbola will be symmetrical in any case.

  7. Parametric equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parametric_equation

    In addition to curves and surfaces, parametric equations can describe manifolds and algebraic varieties of higher dimension, with the number of parameters being equal to the dimension of the manifold or variety, and the number of equations being equal to the dimension of the space in which the manifold or variety is considered (for curves the ...

  8. Quadric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadric

    As the dimension of a Euclidean plane is two, quadrics in a Euclidean plane have dimension one and are thus plane curves. They are called conic sections, or conics. Circle (e = 0), ellipse (e = 0.5), parabola (e = 1), and hyperbola (e = 2) with fixed focus F and directrix.

  9. Parabolic line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_line

    Typically such points lie on a curve called the parabolic line which separates the surface into regions of positive and negative Gaussian curvature. Points on the parabolic line give rise to folds on the Gauss map : where a ridge crosses a parabolic line there is a cusp of the Gauss map.
