  1. quadric surface

    In mathematics, a quadric or quadric surface (quadric hypersurface in higher dimensions), is a generalization of conic sections (ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas). It is a hypersurface (of dimension D) in a (D + 1)-dimensional space, and it is defined as the zero set of an irreducible polynomial of degree two in D + 1 variables; for example, D = 1 in the case of conic sections. When the defining polynomial is not absolutely irreducible, the zero set is generally not considered a quadric, although it is often called a degenerate quadric or a reducible quadric. In coordinates x1, x2, ..., xD+1, the general quadric is thus defined by the algebraic equation ∑ i , j = 1 D + 1 x i Q i j x j + ∑ i = 1 D + 1 P i x i + R = 0 {\displaystyle \sum _{i,j=1}^{D+1}x_{i}Q_{ij}x_{j}+\sum _{i=1}^{D+1}P_{i}x_{i}+R=0} which may be compactly written in vector and matrix notation as:

  1. quadric surface

    A quadric surface is a two-dimensional geometric figure defined by a second degree equation in three variables - x, y, and z. This equation is generally represented in the following form: Ax² + By² + Cz² + Dxy + Exz + Fyz + Gx + Hy + Iz + J = 0. Examples of quadric surfaces include ellipsoids, paraboloids, hyperboloids, cones, cylinders, and planes.
