Elliptic geometry — (sometimes known as Riemannian geometry) is a non Euclidean geometry, in which, given a line L and a point p outside L, there exists no line parallel to L passing through p.Elliptic geometry, like hyperbolic geometry, violates Euclid s parallel… … Wikipedia

Elliptic boundary value problem — In mathematics, an elliptic boundary value problem is a special kind of boundary value problem which can be thought of as the stable state of an evolution problem. For example, the Dirichlet problem for the Laplacian gives the eventual… … Wikipedia
Elliptic surface — In mathematics, an elliptic surface is a surface that has an elliptic fibration, in other words a proper connected smooth morphism to an algebraic curve, almost all of whose fibers are elliptic curves. The fibers that are not elliptic curves are… … Wikipedia
Elliptic orbit — A small body in space orbits a large one (like a planet around the sun) along an elliptical path, with the large body being located at one of the ellipse foci … Wikipedia
Space gun — For other uses, see Space gun (disambiguation). The Quicklauncher spacegun A space gun is a method of launching an object into outer space using a large gun, or cannon. It provides a method of non rocket spacelaunch. In the HARP Project a U.S.… … Wikipedia
Space rendezvous — A space rendezvous is an orbital maneuver during which two spacecraft, one of which is often a space station, arrive at the same orbit and approach to a very close distance (e.g. within visual contact). Rendezvous requires a precise match of the… … Wikipedia
Counting points on elliptic curves — An important aspect in the study of elliptic curves is devising effective ways of counting points on the curve. There have been several approaches to do so, and the algorithms devised have proved to be useful tools in the study of various fields… … Wikipedia
Hilbert space — For the Hilbert space filling curve, see Hilbert curve. Hilbert spaces can be used to study the harmonics of vibrating strings. The mathematical concept of a Hilbert space, named after David Hilbert, generalizes the notion of Euclidean space. It… … Wikipedia
Projective space — In mathematics a projective space is a set of elements constructed from a vector space such that a distinct element of the projective space consists of all non zero vectors which are equal up to a multiplication by a non zero scalar. A formal… … Wikipedia
