Steiner conicThe Steiner conic or more precisely Steiner's generation of a conic, named after the Swiss mathematician Jakob Steiner, is an alternative method to define a non-degenerate projective conic section in a projective plane over a field. The usual definition of a conic uses a quadratic form (see Quadric (projective geometry)). Another alternative definition of a conic uses a hyperbolic polarity. It is due to K. G. C. von Staudt and sometimes called a von Staudt conic.
Tangente à un cercleEn géométrie plane euclidienne, une tangente au cercle est une droite qui touche un cercle en un point unique, sans passer par l'intérieur du cercle. Les droites tangents aux cercles sont le sujet de nombreux théorèmes, et apparaissent dans de nombreuses constructions à la règle et au compas et des preuves. Une propriété souvent utilisée dans ces théorèmes est que la tangente en un point du cercle est orthogonale au rayon du cercle passant par le point de contact.
Droite à l'infiniDans le plan projectif, il est possible de définir un plan affine en choisissant une droite projective quelconque, que l'on appelle alors droite à l'infini associée à ce plan affine. Deux droites affines strictement parallèles correspondent à deux droites projectives qui s'intersectent en un point situé sur la droite à l'infini, dit point à l'infini. Réciproquement, il est toujours possible de compléter un plan affine par une droite à l'infini de façon à obtenir un plan projectif, dit complété projectif de ce plan affine.
Constructionvignette|upright|Les grues sont essentielles pour des travaux importants tels que les gratte-ciel. La construction est le fait d'assembler différents éléments d'un édifice en utilisant des matériaux et des techniques appropriées. Le secteur économique de la construction, appelé « bâtiment et travaux publics » (BTP) dans une partie de l'Europe francophone, regroupe toutes les activités de conception et de construction des bâtiments publics et privés, industriels ou non, et des infrastructures telles que les routes ou les canalisations.
Coronal planeThe coronal plane (also known as the frontal plane) is an anatomical plane that divides the body into dorsal and ventral sections. It is perpendicular to the sagittal and transverse planes. The coronal plane is an example of a longitudinal plane. For a human, the mid-coronal plane would transect a standing body into two halves (front and back, or anterior and posterior) in an imaginary line that cuts through both shoulders.
Transverse planeThe transverse plane (also known as the horizontal plane, axial plane and transaxial plane) is an anatomical plane that divides the body into superior and inferior sections. It is perpendicular to the coronal and sagittal planes. Transverse thoracic plane Xiphosternal plane (or xiphosternal junction) Transpyloric plane Subcostal plane Umbilical plane (or transumbilical plane) Supracristal plane Intertubercular plane (or transtubercular plane) Interspinous plane The transverse thoracic plane Plane through T4 & T5 vertebral junction and sternal angle of Louis.
Degenerate conicIn geometry, a degenerate conic is a conic (a second-degree plane curve, defined by a polynomial equation of degree two) that fails to be an irreducible curve. This means that the defining equation is factorable over the complex numbers (or more generally over an algebraically closed field) as the product of two linear polynomials. Using the alternative definition of the conic as the intersection in three-dimensional space of a plane and a double cone, a conic is degenerate if the plane goes through the vertex of the cones.
Circular symmetryIn geometry, circular symmetry is a type of continuous symmetry for a planar object that can be rotated by any arbitrary angle and map onto itself. Rotational circular symmetry is isomorphic with the circle group in the complex plane, or the special orthogonal group SO(2), and unitary group U(1). Reflective circular symmetry is isomorphic with the orthogonal group O(2). A 2-dimensional object with circular symmetry would consist of concentric circles and annular domains.
Coupe sagittaleThe sagittal plane (ˈsædʒɪtəl; also known as the longitudinal plane) is an anatomical plane that divides the body into right and left sections. It is perpendicular to the transverse and coronal planes. The plane may be in the center of the body and divide it into two equal parts (mid-sagittal), or away from the midline and divide it into unequal parts (para-sagittal). The term sagittal was coined by Gerard of Cremona. Examples of sagittal planes include: The terms median plane or mid-sagittal plane are sometimes used to describe the sagittal plane running through the midline.
Construction managementConstruction management (CM) is a professional service that uses specialized, project management techniques and software to oversee the planning, design, construction and closeout of a project. The purpose of construction management is to control the quality of a project's scope, time / delivery and cost—sometimes referred to as a project management triangle or "triple constraints." CM is compatible with all project delivery systems, including design-bid-build, design-build, CM At-Risk and Public Private Partnerships.
Infinithumb|∞ : le symbole infini. Le mot « infini » (-e, -s) est un adjectif servant à qualifier quelque chose qui n'a pas de limite en nombre ou en taille. Il vient du latin infīnītus, dérivé de fīnītus « limité » (avec in-, préfixe négatif), issu lui-même du verbe fīnĭo, fīnīre (« délimiter », mais aussi : « préciser », « déterminer », et intransitivement « finir »), et du nom fīnis (souvent au pluriel, fīnes : « bornes, limites d'un champ », « frontières d'un pays ») ; il signifie donc, littéralement « qui est sans borne », mais aussi « indéterminé » et « indéfini ».
Steiner ellipseIn geometry, the Steiner ellipse of a triangle, also called the Steiner circumellipse to distinguish it from the Steiner inellipse, is the unique circumellipse (ellipse that touches the triangle at its vertices) whose center is the triangle's centroid. Named after Jakob Steiner, it is an example of a circumconic. By comparison the circumcircle of a triangle is another circumconic that touches the triangle at its vertices, but is not centered at the triangle's centroid unless the triangle is equilateral.
