Scale (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… … Wikipedia
Euler's theorem (differential geometry) — In the mathematical field of differential geometry, Euler s theorem is a result on the curvature of curves on a surface. The theorem establishes the existence of principal curvatures and associated principal directions which give the directions… … Wikipedia
Asymptotic curve — In the differential geometry of surfaces, an asymptotic curve is a curve always tangent to an asymptotic direction of the surface (where they exist). It is sometimes called an asymptotic line, although it need not be a line. An asymptotic… … Wikipedia
Electro-gyration — The electrogyration effect is the spatial dispersion phenomenon, that consists in the change of optical activity (gyration) of crystals by a constant or time varying electric field. Being a spatial dispersion effect, the induced optical activity… … Wikipedia
