1Complex projective plane — In mathematics, the complex projective plane, usually denoted CP2, is the two dimensional complex projective space. It is a complex manifold described by three complex coordinates where, however, the triples differing by an overall rescaling are… …
2Quadric (projective geometry) — In projective geometry a quadric is the set of points of a projective space where a certain quadratic form on the homogeneous coordinates becomes zero. It may also be defined as the set of all points that lie on their dual hyperplanes, under some …
3Quadric — In mathematics, a quadric, or quadric surface, is any D dimensional hypersurface defined as the locus of zeros of a quadratic polynomial. In coordinates {x 0, x 1, x 2, ldots, x D}, the general quadric is defined by the algebraic equation… …
4Differential geometry of surfaces — Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1828 In mathematics, the differential geometry of surfaces deals with smooth surfaces with various additional structures, most often, a Riemannian metric. Surfaces have been extensively studied from various perspectives:… …
5Problem of Apollonius — In Euclidean plane geometry, Apollonius problem is to construct circles that are tangent to three given circles in a plane (Figure 1); two circles are tangent if they touch at a single point. Apollonius of Perga (ca. 262 BC ndash; ca. 190 BC)… …
6Lie sphere geometry — is a geometrical theory of planar or spatial geometry in which the fundamental concept is the circle or sphere. It was introduced by Sophus Lie in the nineteenth century. [The definitive modern textbook on Lie sphere geometry is Harvnb|Cecil|1992 …
7Diffusion MRI — Diagnostics DTI Color Map MeSH D038524 Diffusion MRI is a mag …
8Conformal geometry — In mathematics, conformal geometry is the study of the set of angle preserving (conformal) transformations on a space. In two real dimensions, conformal geometry is precisely the geometry of Riemann surfaces. In more than two dimensions,… …
9K3 surface — In mathematics, in the field of complex manifolds, a K3 surface is an important and interesting example of a compact complex surface (complex dimension 2 being real dimension 4). Together with two dimensional complex tori, they are the Calabi Yau …
10Stereographic projection — In geometry, the stereographic projection is a particular mapping (function) that projects a sphere onto a plane. The projection is defined on the entire sphere, except at one point mdash; the projection point. Where it is defined, the mapping is …
