  Circle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Usually, however, the circumference means the length of the circle, and the interior of the circle is called a disk.
All circles are similar; as a consequence, a circle's circumference and radius are proportional, as are its area and the square of its radius.
This is an approximation of the area of a circle.

A great circle is a circle on the sphere that has the same center as the sphere.
Circles on the sphere that are parallel to the equator are lines of latitude.
Thus, in spherical geometry angles are defined between great circles, resulting in a spherical trigonometry that differs from ordinary trigonometry in many respects (for example, the sum of the interior angles of a triangle exceeds 180 degrees).

 Circle Line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Circle Line of the London Underground became known as such in 1949, when it was separated from its parent lines, the Metropolitan Line and the District Line, although it had been shown on Underground maps since 1947.
In the north, east and west of central London, the Circle Line approximately outlines Travelcard Zone 1, though in the south there is a substantial portion of the zone outside the Circle Line.
All Circle line trains are in the distinctive London Underground livery of Red, White and Blue and are the larger size of the two sizes used on the network.

In Euclidean geometry, a circle is the set of all points at a fixed distance, called the radius, from a fixed point, called the centre (center).
Usually however, the circumference means the length of the circle, and the interior of the circle is called a disk or disc.
The circle centered at the origin with radius 1 is called the unit circle.

A sphere can also be defined as the surface formed by rotating a circle about its diameter.
If the circle is replaced by an ellipse, the shape becomes a spheroid.
For any natural number n, an n-sphere is the set of points in (n+1)-dimensional Euclidean space which are at distance r from a fixed point of that space, where r is, as before, a positive real number.

In real life, a circle jerk is a sex act consisting of three or more 13 year old boys masturbating each other in a circle.
Online, a circle jerk is a bizarre internets ritual which involves 13 year old boys gathering on BBS, AOL, and chat to banter with fervour about their particular fandom.
When witnessing a circle jerk an outsider should not provoke the fanboys with dissident views as it is akin to a shark feeding frenzy.

InEuclidean plane geometry, π may be defined as either the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, or as the area of a circle of radius 1 (the unitcircle).
This result establishes the impossibility of squaring the circle: it is impossible to construct, using ruler and compass alone, a square whose area isequal to the area of a given circle.
In non-Euclidean geometry the sum of the angles of atriangle may be more or less than π radians, and the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter may also differ fromπ.

 Angle - QuickSeek Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The first concept was used by Eudemus, who regarded an angle as a deviation from a straight line; the second by Carpus of Antioch, who regarded it as the interval or space between the intersecting lines; Euclid adopted the third concept, although his definitions of right, acute, and obtuse angles are certainly quantitative.
Since the circumference of a circle is always directly proportional to the length of its radius, the measure of the angle is independent of the size of the circle.
The degree measure of the angle is the length of the arc, divided by the circumference of the circle, and multiplied by 360.

 Color
If the pure spectral colors are extended by mixtures of red and blue, they can be arranged in a circle or "color wheel" (which was already known to Newton), the mouth of the cone.
The position of a color on this circle is its hue.
In the HSV space, every color is specified by its hue, saturation (distance from the circle's center) and value (luminosity).

 Pi   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The mathematical constant π represents the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter and is commonly used in mathematics, physics, and engineering.
In Euclidean plane geometry, π may be defined either as the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, or as the ratio of a circle's area to the area of a square whose side is the radius.
Because the coordinates of all points that can be constructed with ruler and compass are constructible numbers, it is impossible to square the circle, that is, it is impossible to construct, using ruler and compass alone, a square whose area is equal to the area of a given circle.

 Manifold Did You Mean manifold   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The circle is the simplest example of a topological manifold after Euclidean space itself.
Viewed through the eyes of calculus, the circle transition function T is simply a function between open intervals, so we know what it means for T to be differentiable.
A coordinate map, a coordinate chart, or simply a chart of a manifold is an invertible map between a subset of the manifold and a simple space such that both the map and its inverse preserve the desired structure.

Notice that the bulk of disambiguation occurs in the lower order circles which were chosen to maximize this phenomena.
circles can be further sub-divided into groups of second-order nodes, if those second-order nodes are connected in the constraint graph.
In practice, the circles usually contain no more than two variables not involved in input sub-circles, the exceptions almost always pertaining to the base circle, in which case the combine-circles procedure does not add complexity.

 Word Sense Disambiguation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
A significant problem is that word sense disambiguation is costly, either in terms of manually tagged data for supervised approaches or training time for unsupervised approaches.
To square the circle we have looked into ways of providing some preliminary disambiguation to the input data which have a low cost overhead and the advantages that these bring for selectional preference acquisition.
Also we have formulated an iterative approach where acquired selectional preferences are themselves used for word sense disambiguation and the disambiguated data is then fed back into the preference acquisition system.

 Mil (disambiguation)
The army of the Soviet Union used a mil that was 1/6000 of a full circle, which means that there were 1,500 of its mils in a right angle, which would be less accurate though easier to remember.
The military of Sweden during the Cold War desired to demonstrate its independence from either NATO or the Warsaw Pact, so they chose a size of a greater accuracy.
Because a right angle is more nearly 1.5708 radians rather than 1.600, their mil was 1/6,300 of a circle, so that there were had 1,575 of these mils in a right angle.

Minutes of arc are commonly encountered in discussions of external ballistics, as a minute of arc covers almost exactly 1 inch at 100 yards (1 m at 1200 m).
A rifle capable of shooting "1 MOA", one minute of arc, can place all shots within 1 inch at 100 yards, 2 inches at 200 yards, etc. Minutes of arc are also used in navigation: a nautical mile was historically defined as a minute of arc along a great circle of the Earth.
