Unreferenced date December 2009 Hand geometry is a Biometrics biometric that identifies users by the shape of their hands. Hand geometry readers measure a user s hand along many dimensions and compare those measurements to measurements stored in a file. Viable hand geometry devices have been manufactured since the early 1980s, making hand geometry the first biometric to find widespread computerized use. It remains popular common applications include access control and time and attendance operations. Since hand geometry is not thought to be as unique as fingerprint s or Iris anatomy irises , fingerprinting and iris recognition remain the preferred technology for high security applications. Hand geometry is very reliable when combined with other forms of identification, such as identification card s or personal identification numbers. In large populations, hand geometry is not suitable for so called one to many applications, in which a user is identified from his biometric without any other identification.

In mathematics, diophantine geometry is one approach to the theory of Diophantine equation s, formulating questions about such equations in terms of algebraic geometry over a ground field K that is not algebraically closed , such as the field of rational number s or a finite field , or more general commutative ring such as the integers. A single equation defines a hypersurface , and simultaneous Diophantine equations give rise to a general algebraic variety V over K the typical question is about the nature of the set V K of points on V with co ordinates in K , and by means of height function s quantitative questions about the size of these solutions may be posed, as well as the qualitative issues of whether any points exist, and if so whether there are an infinite number.

refimprove date January 2011 In geometry , topology , and related branches of mathematics, a spatial point is a primitive notion upon which other concepts may be defined. In geometry, points are Zero dimensional space zero dimensional i.e., they do not have volume , area , length , or any other higher dimension al analogue. In branches of mathematics dealing with set theory , an element mathematics element is sometimes referred to as a point . Points in Euclidean geometry Image ACP 3.svg thumb A finite set of points blue in two dimensional Euclidean space . Points are most often considered within the framework of Euclidean geometry , where they are one of the fundamental objects. Euclid originally defined the point vaguely, as that which has no part . In two dimensional Euclidean space , a point is represented by an ordered pair mvar x , mvar y of numbers, where the first number Convention norm conventionally represents the Horizontal plane horizontal and is often denoted by mvar x , and the second number conventionally represents the Vertical direction vertical and is often denoted by mvar y . This idea is easily generalized to three dimensional Euclidean space, where a point is represented by an ordered triplet mvar x , mvar y , mvar z with the additional third number representing depth and often denoted by mvar z . Further generalizations are represented by an ordered tuple t of mvar ... dimension of the space in which the point is located. Many constructs within Euclidean geometry ... line.
