- In geometry, a
geodesic (/ˌdʒiː.əˈdɛsɪk, -oʊ-, -ˈdiːsɪk, -zɪk/) is a
curve representing in some
sense the
shortest path (arc)
between two
points in a surface...
- A
geodesic dome is a
hemispherical thin-s****
structure (lattice-s****)
based on a
geodesic polyhedron. The
rigid triangular elements of the dome distribute...
- In
general relativity,
Schwarzschild geodesics describe the
motion of test
particles in the
gravitational field of a

- geometry, the
geodesic curvature k g {\displaystyle k_{g}} of a
curve γ {\displaystyle \gamma }
measures how far the
curve is from
being a
geodesic. For example...
- In
general relativity, a
geodesic generalizes the
notion of a "straight line" to
curved spacetime. Importantly, the
world line of a
particle free from...
- The
study of
geodesics on an
ellipsoid arose in
connection with
geodesy specifically with the
solution of
triangulation networks. The
