In 2004, he moved to the University of Manchester, where he was Vice President and Dean of Engineering and Physical Sciences from 2004 to 2009; Manchester then made him an honorary professor on retirement. Between 2012 and 2015, Perkins was the Chief Scientific Adviser to the United Kingdom government's Department for Business, Innovation and Skills and authored the Perkins Review of engineering skills. He has since been a director of JP2 Consulting.[1][2][3][4]

Analytisk geometri

Den analytiska geometrin är en gren av geometrin där algebraiska metoder från främst linjär algebra används för att lösa geometriska problem. Att de reella talens algebra kan användas för lösning av geometriska problem vilar på Cantor-Dedekinds axiom. Metoder från analytisk geometri används inom alla tillämpade vetenskaper, men särskilt inom fysiken, till exempel för beskrivningen av planeternas banor. Ursprungligen behandlade analytisk geometri endast frågor rörande plane...

 

Moulton plane

The Moulton plane. Lines sloping down and to the right are bent where they cross the y-axis. In incidence geometry, the Moulton plane is an example of an affine plane in which Desargues's theorem does not hold. It is named after the American astronomer Forest Ray Moulton. The points of the Moulton plane are simply the points in the real plane R2 and the lines are the regular lines as well with the exception that for lines with a negative slope, the slope doubles when they pass the y-axis.
