Common Geometry Terminology
This list is not exhaustive, and new branches or variations of geometry are constantly being developed and studied, as the field of mathematics is constantly evolving.
Geometry
Line Overview
A line is a basic geometric shape consisting of two points connected by a straight path. Lines are often used to create other shapes, such as triangles and circles. Lines can also be used to show movements in a dance or a work of art. Lines can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. They can be … Read more
Trigonometry
Trigonometry is the branch of mathematics that deals with the relationships between angles and sides of triangles. It focuses on the mathematical properties of right-angled triangles. Trigonometry is used in many different fields, including engineering, architecture, physics, and astronomy. The most basic concepts in trigonometry are the three primary ratios: sine (sin), cosine (cos), and … Read more
Vector Field
In mathematics and physics, a Vector Field (VF) is a collection of vectors, each assigned to a point in space. In the most common case, the points form a regular grid, and the vectors are assigned to the points of this grid. Vector fields are often used to model physical quantities that have both magnitude … Read more
