111Riemann surface — For the Riemann surface of a subring of a field, see Zariski–Riemann space. Riemann surface for the function ƒ(z) = √z. The two horizontal axes represent the real and imaginary parts of z, while the vertical axis represents the real… …
112Cartan connection — In the mathematical field of differential geometry, a Cartan connection is a flexible generalization of the notion of an affine connection. It may also be regarded as a specialization of the general concept of a principal connection, in which the …
113Scale (map) — The scale of a map is defined as the ratio of a distance on the map to the corresponding distance on the ground. If the region of the map is small enough for the curvature of the Earth to be neglected, then the scale may be taken as a constant… …
114History of cartography — The Fra Mauro map, one of the greatest memorial of medieval cartography, was made around 1450 by the Venetian monk Fra Mauro. It is a circular world map drawn on parchment and set in a wooden frame, about two meters in diameter Cartography (from… …
115Mesh parameterization — Given two surfaces with the same topology, a bijective mapping between them exists. On triangular mesh surfaces, the problem of computing this mapping is called mesh parameterization. The parameter domain is the surface that the mesh is mapped… …
116Latitude — This article is about the geographical reference system. For other uses, see Latitude (disambiguation). Map of Earth Longitude (λ) Lines of longitude appear vertical with varying curvature in this projection, but are actually halves of great… …
117Torus — Not to be confused with Taurus (disambiguation). This article is about the surface and mathematical concept of a torus. For other uses, see Torus (disambiguation). A torus As the distance to th …
118Cayley transform — In mathematics, the Cayley transform, named after Arthur Cayley, has a cluster of related meanings. As originally described by Harvtxt|Cayley|1846, the Cayley transform is a mapping between skew symmetric matrices and special orthogonal matrices …
119Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system — The Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system is a grid based method of specifying locations on the surface of the Earth. It is used to identify locations on the earth, but differs from the traditional method of latitude and longitude …
120SL2(R) — In mathematics, the special linear group SL2(R) is the group of all real 2 times; 2 matrices with determinant one:: mbox{SL} 2(mathbb{R}) = left{ egin{bmatrix}a b c dend{bmatrix} : a,b,c,dinmathbb{R}mbox{ and }ad bc=1 ight}.It is a real Lie… …
