Prerequisite: SMA101 Background: Geometry etymologically means measurement of earth thanks to the Greeks. It is a branch of mathematics concerned with questions of shape, size, relative position of figures, and the properties of space. Geometry arose independently in a number of early cultures as a practical way for dealing with lengths, areas, and volumes. It began to see ele- ments of formal mathematical science emerging in the West as early as the 6th century BC. By the 3rd century BC, geometry was put into an axiomatic form by Euclid, whose treat- ment?Euclidean geometry?set a standard for many centuries to follow. Geometry arose independently in India, with texts providing rules for geometric constructions appearing as early as the 3rd century BC. Islamic scientists preserved Greek ideas and expanded on them during the Middle Ages. By the early 17th century, geometry had been put on a solid analytic footing by mathematicians such as Ren Descartes and Pierre de Fermat. Since then, and into modern times, geometry has expanded into non-Euclidean geometry and manifolds, describing spaces that lie beyond the normal range of human experience. Contemporary geometry has the following subfields: Euclidean geometry is geometry in its classical sense. One studies points, lines, planes, angles, triangles, congruence, similarity, solid figures, circles, and analytic geometry in their mandatory educational curriculum. Euclidean geometry also has applications in computer science, crystallography, and various branches of modern mathematics. Differential geometry uses techniques of calculus and linear algebra to study problems in geometry. It has applications in physics, including in general relativity. Topology is the field dealing with the properties of geometry that are unchanged by con- tinuous functions. In practice, this means that it deals with large-scale properties of a spaces such as connectedness and compactness. 1 2 DAMIAN M MAINGI Algebraic geometry studies geometry through the use of polynomials and other algebraic techniques.

    Chapter 11. Three dimensional analytic geometry and vectors. Section 11.5 Quadric surfaces. Curves in R2 : x2 y2 ellipse + =1 a2 b2 x2 y2 hyperbola − =1 a2 b2 parabola y = ax2 or x = by2 A quadric surface is the graph of a second degree equation in three variables. The most general such equation is Ax2 + By2 + Cz2 + Dxy + Exz + F yz + Gx + Hy + Iz + J =0, where A, B, C, ..., J are constants. By translation and rotation the equation can be brought into one of two standard forms Ax2 + By2 + Cz2 + J =0 or Ax2 + By2 + Iz =0 In order to sketch the graph of a quadric surface, it is useful to determine the curves of intersection of the surface with planes parallel to the coordinate planes. These curves are called traces of the surface. Ellipsoids The quadric surface with equation x2 y2 z2 + + =1 a2 b2 c2 is called an ellipsoid because all of its traces are ellipses. 2 1 x y 3 2 1 z ±1 ±2 ±3 ±1 ±2 The six intercepts of the ellipsoid are (±a, 0, 0), (0, ±b, 0), and (0, 0, ±c) and the ellipsoid lies in the box |x| ≤ a, |y| ≤ b, |z| ≤ c Since the ellipsoid involves only even powers of x, y, and z, the ellipsoid is symmetric with respect to each coordinate plane. Example 1. Find the traces of the surface 4x2 +9y2 + 36z2 = 36 1 in the planes x = k, y = k, and z = k. Identify the surface and sketch it. Hyperboloids Hyperboloid of one sheet.

APPLICATIONS: The Holley LS Race single-plane intake manifolds are designed for GM LS Gen III and IV engines, utilized in numerous performance applications, and are intended for carbureted, throttle body EFI, or direct-port EFI setups. The LS Race single-plane intake manifolds are designed for hi-performance/racing engine applications, 5.3 to 6.2+ liter displacement, and maximum engine speeds of 6000-7000 rpm, depending on the engine combination. This single-plane design provides optimal performance across the RPM spectrum while providing maximum performance up to 7000 rpm. These intake manifolds are for use on non-emissions controlled applications only, and will not accept stock components and hardware. Port EFI versions may not be compatible with all throttle body linkages. When installing the throttle body, make certain there is a minimum of ¼” clearance between all linkage and the fuel rail. SPLIT DESIGN: The Holley LS Race manifold incorporates a split feature, which allows disassembly of the intake for direct access to internal plenum and port surfaces, making custom porting and matching a snap.

  • A Historical Introduction to Elementary Geometry
    i MATH 119 – Fall 2012: A HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION TO ELEMENTARY GEOMETRY Geometry is an word derived from ancient Greek meaning “earth measure” ( ge = earth or land ) + ( metria = measure ) . Euclid wrote the Elements of geometry between 330 and 320 B.C. It was a compilation of the major theorems on plane and solid geometry presented in an axiomatic style. Near the beginning of the first of the thirteen books of the Elements, Euclid enumerated five fundamental assumptions called postulates or axioms which he used to prove many related propositions or theorems on the geometry of two and three dimensions. POSTULATE 1. Any two points can be joined by a straight line. POSTULATE 2. Any straight line segment can be extended indefinitely in a straight line. POSTULATE 3. Given any straight line segment, a circle can be drawn having the segment as radius and one endpoint as center. POSTULATE 4. All right angles are congruent. POSTULATE 5. (Parallel postulate) If two lines intersect a third in such a way that the sum of the inner angles on one side is less than two right angles, then the two lines inevitably must intersect each other on that side if extended far enough. The circle described in postulate 3 is tacitly unique. Postulates 3 and 5 hold only for plane geometry; in three dimensions, postulate 3 defines a sphere. Postulate 5 leads to the same geometry as the following statement, known as Playfair's axiom, which also holds only in the plane: Through a point not on a given straight line, one and only one line can be drawn that never meets the given line.

  • Chapter 1: Analytic Geometry
    1 Analytic Geometry Much of the mathematics in this chapter will be review for you. However, the examples will be oriented toward applications and so will take some thought. In the (x,y) coordinate system we normally write the x-axis horizontally, with positive numbers to the right of the origin, and the y-axis vertically, with positive numbers above the origin. That is, unless stated otherwise, we take “rightward” to be the positive x- direction and “upward” to be the positive y-direction. In a purely mathematical situation, we normally choose the same scale for the x- and y-axes. For example, the line joining the origin to the point (a,a) makes an angle of 45◦ with the x-axis (and also with the y-axis). In applications, often letters other than x and y are used, and often different scales are chosen in the horizontal and vertical directions. For example, suppose you drop something from a window, and you want to study how its height above the ground changes from second to second. It is natural to let the letter t denote the time (the number of seconds since the object was released) and to let the letter h denote the height. For each t (say, at one-second intervals) you have a corresponding height h. This information can be tabulated, and then plotted on the (t, h) coordinate plane, as shown in figure 1.0.1. We use the word “quadrant” for each of the four regions into which the plane is divided by the axes: the first quadrant is where points have both coordinates positive, or the “northeast” portion of the plot, and the second, third, and fourth quadrants are counted off counterclockwise, so the second quadrant is the northwest, the third is the southwest, and the fourth is the southeast.

    INTRODUCTION TO ANALYTIC GEOMETRY BY PEECEY R SMITH, PH.D. N PROFESSOR OF MATHEMATICS IN THE SHEFFIELD SCIENTIFIC SCHOOL YALE UNIVERSITY AND AKTHUB SULLIVAN GALE, PH.D. ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF MATHEMATICS IN THE UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER GINN & COMPANY BOSTON NEW YORK CHICAGO LONDON COPYRIGHT, 1904, 1905, BY ARTHUR SULLIVAN GALE ALL BIGHTS RESERVED 65.8 GINN & COMPANY PRO- PRIETORS BOSTON U.S.A. PEE FACE In preparing this volume the authors have endeavored to write a drill book for beginners which presents, in a manner conform- ing with modern ideas, the fundamental concepts of the subject. The subject-matter is slightly more than the minimum required for the calculus, but only as much more as is necessary to permit of some choice on the part of the teacher. It is believed that the text is complete for students finishing their study of mathematics with a course in Analytic Geometry. The authors have intentionally avoided giving the book the form of a treatise on conic sections. Conic sections naturally appear, but chiefly as illustrative of general analytic methods. Attention is called to the method of treatment. The subject is developed after the Euclidean method of definition and theorem, without, however, adhering to formal presentation. The advan- tage is obvious, for the student is made sure of the exact nature of each acquisition. Again, each method is summarized in a rule stated in consecutive steps. This is a gain in clearness. Many illustrative examples are worked out in the text. Emphasis has everywhere been put upon the analytic side, that is, the student is taught to start from the equation.

  • The Second-Order Correction to the Energy and Momentum in Plane Symmetric Gravitational Waves Like Spacetimes
    S S symmetry Article The Second-Order Correction to the Energy and Momentum in Plane Symmetric Gravitational Waves Like Spacetimes Mutahir Ali *, Farhad Ali, Abdus Saboor, M. Saad Ghafar and Amir Sultan Khan Department of Mathematics, Kohat University of Science and Technology, Kohat 26000, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan; [email protected] (F.A.); [email protected] (A.S.); [email protected] (M.S.G.); [email protected] (A.S.K.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 5 December 2018; Accepted: 22 January 2019; Published: 13 February 2019 Abstract: This research provides second-order approximate Noether symmetries of geodetic Lagrangian of time-conformal plane symmetric spacetime. A time-conformal factor is of the form ee f (t) which perturbs the plane symmetric static spacetime, where e is small a positive parameter that produces perturbation in the spacetime. By considering the perturbation up to second-order in e in plane symmetric spacetime, we find the second order approximate Noether symmetries for the corresponding Lagrangian. Using Noether theorem, the corresponding second order approximate conservation laws are investigated for plane symmetric gravitational waves like spacetimes. This technique tells about the energy content of the gravitational waves. Keywords: Einstein field equations; time conformal spacetime; approximate conservation of energy 1. Introduction Gravitational waves are ripples in the fabric of space-time produced by some of the most violent and energetic processes like colliding black holes or closely orbiting black holes and neutron stars (binary pulsars). These waves travel with the speed of light and depend on their sources [1–5]. The study of these waves provide us useful information about their sources (black holes and neutron stars).

  • 3 Analytic Geometry
    3 Analytic Geometry 3.1 The Cartesian Co-ordinate System Pure Euclidean geometry in the style of Euclid and Hilbert is what we call synthetic: axiomatic, with- out co-ordinates or explicit formulæ for length, area, volume, etc. Nowadays, the practice of ele- mentary geometry is almost entirely analytic: reliant on algebra, co-ordinates, vectors, etc. The major breakthrough came courtesy of Rene´ Descartes (1596–1650) and Pierre de Fermat (1601/16071–1655), whose introduction of an axis, a fixed reference ruler against which objects could be measured using co-ordinates, allowed them to apply the Islamic invention of algebra to geometry, resulting in more efficient computations. The new geometry was revolutionary, so much so that Descartes felt the need to justify his argu- ments using synthetic geometry, lest no-one believe his work! This attitude persisted for some time: when Issac Newton published his groundbreaking Principia in 1687, his presentation was largely syn- thetic, even though he had used co-ordinates in his derivations. Synthetic geometry is not without its benefits—many results are much cleaner, and analytic geometry presents its own logical difficulties— but, as time has passed, its study has become something of a fringe activity: co-ordinates are simply too useful to ignore! Given that Cartesian geometry is the primary form we learn in grade-school, we merely sketch the familiar ideas of co-ordinates and vectors. • Assume everything necessary about on the real line. continuity y 3 • Perpendicular axes meet at the origin. P 2 • The Cartesian co-ordinates of a point P are measured by project- ing onto the axes: in the picture, P has co-ordinates (1, 2), often 1 written simply as P = (1, 2).
