Mathematics of rigidity
ID: mathematics-of-rigidity
The mathematics of rigidity is a field that studies how structures maintain their shape and resist deformation under various forces. It encompasses a wide array of concepts and applications from geometry, topology, and structural engineering, focusing on both the theoretical and practical aspects of rigidity. ### Key Concepts in the Mathematics of Rigidity: 1. **Rigidity Theory**: This area investigates the conditions under which a geometric object (like a framework or structure) is rigid.
