  2. Bipolar coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_coordinates

    The equations for x and y can be combined to give + = ⁡ (+) [2] [3] or + = ⁡ (). This equation shows that σ and τ are the real and imaginary parts of an analytic function of x+iy (with logarithmic branch points at the foci), which in turn proves (by appeal to the general theory of conformal mapping) (the Cauchy-Riemann equations) that these particular curves of σ and τ intersect at ...

    The number of points with even x-coordinate inside BCYX (marked by O's) is equal modulo 2 to the number of such points in CZY (marked by X's) Then by flipping the diagram in both axes, we see that the number of points with even x-coordinate inside CZY is the same as the number of points inside AXY having odd x-coordinates.

  4. Synthetic geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_geometry

    Synthetic geometry (sometimes referred to as axiomatic geometry or even pure geometry) is geometry without the use of coordinates.It relies on the axiomatic method for proving all results from a few basic properties initially called postulates, and at present called axioms.

  5. Analytic geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytic_geometry

    In mathematics, analytic geometry, also known as coordinate geometry or Cartesian geometry, is the study of geometry using a coordinate system. This contrasts with synthetic geometry . Analytic geometry is used in physics and engineering , and also in aviation , rocketry , space science , and spaceflight .

    Diagram for geometric proof. This proof is valid only if the line is not horizontal or vertical. [5] Drop a perpendicular from the point P with coordinates (x 0, y 0) to the line with equation Ax + By + C = 0. Label the foot of the perpendicular R. Draw the vertical line through P and label its intersection with the given line S.

  7. Pythagorean theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_theorem

    The proofs are diverse, including both geometric proofs and algebraic proofs, with some dating back thousands of years. When Euclidean space is represented by a Cartesian coordinate system in analytic geometry , Euclidean distance satisfies the Pythagorean relation: the squared distance between two points equals the sum of squares of the ...

  8. Mizar system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mizar_system

    The Mizar Project was started around 1973 by Andrzej Trybulec as an attempt to reconstruct mathematical vernacular so it can be checked by a computer. [3] Its current goal, apart from the continual development of the Mizar System, is the collaborative creation of a large library of formally verified proofs, covering most of the core of modern mathematics.

  9. Proof assistant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_assistant

    In computer science and mathematical logic, a proof assistant or interactive theorem prover is a software tool to assist with the development of formal proofs by human–machine collaboration. This involves some sort of interactive proof editor, or other interface , with which a human can guide the search for proofs, the details of which are ...
