faces of the gears.
Skew surface (Geom.), a ruled surface such that in general
two successive generating straight lines do not intersect;
a warped surface; as, the helicoid is a skew surface.
Skew symmetrical determinant (Alg.), a determinant in which
the elements in each column of the matrix are equal to the
elements of the corresponding row of the matrix with the
signs changed, as in (1), below. (1) 0 2 -3-2 0 53 -5 0
(2) 4 -1 71 8 -2-7 2 1

upper left to lower right corner be zeros. A like
determinant in which the numbers in the diagonal are
not zeros is a skew determinant, as in (2), above. Skew
