  2. 1:144 scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1:144_scale

    1:144 scale is a scale used for some scale models such as micro/mini armor. 1:144 means that the dimensions of the model are 1/144 (0.00694) the dimensions of the original life-sized object; this equates to a scale of 1/2 inch per 6 feet of original dimension. For instance, an airplane 30 feet (9.14 m) in length would be a mere 2.5 inches (63.5 ...

    2mm scale / British N scale railway modeling. 1:150: 2.032 mm: Model railways (Japanese N) Used by Heller for model ships, and proposed by the Japanese to supersede 1:144 scale trains. Models which are commonly made in scale at 1:150 are commercial airliners - such as the Airbus A320, Boeing 777 all the way to the jumbo jets - the Airbus A380 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_model

    One of the smallest gauges on which a live steam engine can pull a passenger is the now almost defunct 2 + 12-inch gauge. The next largest scale range, G scale (1:22.5) in the US and 16 mm scale (1:19.05) in the UK, and as large as 1:12 scale, is too small for riding but is used for outdoor garden railways, which allow use of natural ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unsolved_problems...

    Many mathematical problems have been stated but not yet solved. These problems come from many areas of mathematics, such as theoretical physics, computer science, algebra, analysis, combinatorics, algebraic, differential, discrete and Euclidean geometries, graph theory, group theory, model theory, number theory, set theory, Ramsey theory, dynamical systems, and partial differential equations.

  6. Scaling (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaling_(geometry)

    Scaling (geometry) In affine geometry, uniform scaling (or isotropic scaling[ 1]) is a linear transformation that enlarges (increases) or shrinks (diminishes) objects by a scale factor that is the same in all directions. The result of uniform scaling is similar (in the geometric sense) to the original. A scale factor of 1 is normally allowed ...

  7. Mechanical puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_puzzle

    Although the puzzle is a disentanglement-type puzzle, it also has mechanical puzzle attributes, and the solution can be derived as a binary mathematical procedure. The Chinese rings are associated with the tale that in the Middle Ages , knights would give these to their wives as a present, so that in their absence they may fill their time.

  8. 1:48 scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1:48_scale

    1:48 scale is a scale commonly used in diecast models, plastic models made from kits, and construction toys.It is especially popular with manufacturers of model aircraft and model trains, where it is known as "O scale". 1:48 is also a popular scale among Lego enthusiasts, since it is approximately the scale of the Lego minifigure relative to a six-foot tall human.

  9. Scale factor (cosmology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_factor_(cosmology)

    Scale factor (cosmology) The expansion of the universe is parametrized by a dimensionless scale factor . Also known as the cosmic scale factor or sometimes the Robertson–Walker scale factor, [1] this is a key parameter of the Friedmann equations . In the early stages of the Big Bang, most of the energy was in the form of radiation, and that ...
