Example types with orientable

The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:

Short example sentences

Every closed orientable surface admits a complex structure. (8 words)

Professor Science: Does a non-orientable pyrotechnic explode, implode, or just plode? (12 words)

Classification of closed surfaces Some examples of orientable closed surfaces (left) and surfaces with boundary (right). (16 words)

Longer example sentences

This is because 1) two-dimensional shapes (surfaces) are the lowest-dimensional shapes for which nonorientability is possible, and 2) the Möbius strip is the only surface that is topologically a subspace of every non-orientable surface. (37 words)

In general, a surface is said to be orientable if it does not contain a homeomorphic copy of the Möbius strip; intuitively, it has two distinct "sides". (27 words)

An orientable manifold has infinitely many volume forms, since multiplying a volume form by a non-vanishing function yields another volume form. (22 words)

Question examples

Example sentences (10)

Professor Science: Does a non-orientable pyrotechnic explode, implode, or just plode?

Alternatively, for an orientable surface the formula can be given in terms of the genus of a surface, g: :: (Weisstein).

An orientable manifold has infinitely many volume forms, since multiplying a volume form by a non-vanishing function yields another volume form.

As a result, any surface is non-orientable if and only if it contains a Möbius band as a subspace.

Classification of closed surfaces Some examples of orientable closed surfaces (left) and surfaces with boundary (right).

Every closed orientable surface admits a complex structure.

In general, a surface is said to be orientable if it does not contain a homeomorphic copy of the Möbius strip; intuitively, it has two distinct "sides".

More generally, this shows that there is no smooth retraction from any non-empty smooth orientable compact manifold onto its boundary.

Some non-convex orientable polyhedra have regions turned "inside out" so that both colours appear on the outside in different places.

This is because 1) two-dimensional shapes (surfaces) are the lowest-dimensional shapes for which nonorientability is possible, and 2) the Möbius strip is the only surface that is topologically a subspace of every non-orientable surface.
