OverviewHigh Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In geometry, an orthant or hyperoctant is the analogue in n-dimensional Euclidean space of a quadrant in the plane or an octant in three dimensions. In general an orthant in n-dimensions can be considered the intersection of n mutually orthogonal half-spaces. By permutations of half-space signs, there are 2n orthants in n-dimensional space. The n-orthant is a standard space in two ways: every polytope with n faces maps into the n-orthant via slack variables, and conversely every polygonal cone on n vertices is the image of (maps from) the n-orthant. Compare the n-simplex, which maps to every polytope with n-vertices. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Lambert M. Surhone , Mariam T. Tennoe , Susan F.
