- 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

- The
study of
geodesics on an
ellipsoid arose in
connection with
geodesy specifically with the
solution of

- In
general relativity, a
geodesic generalizes the
notion of a "straight line" to
curved spacetime. Importantly, the
world line of a

known geodesic dome;
carbon molecules known as
fullerenes were

- A
geodesic polyhedron is a
convex polyhedron made from triangles. They
usually have
icosahedral symmetry, such that they have 6
triangles at a vertex,...
- In mathematics, the
geodesic equations are second-order non-linear
differential equations, and are
commonly presented in the form of Euler–Lagrange equations...
