- (triangulate) divide into triangles or give a triangular form to; "triangulate the piece of cardboard"
- In advanced geometry, in the most general meaning, triangulation is a subdivision of a geometric object into simplices. In particular, in the plane it is a subdivision into triangles, hence the name.
- Triangulation is a tactic used in chess to put one's opponent in zugzwang. That is, it gets to the same position with the other player to move, when it is a disadvantage for that player to move, e.g. he has to give up a blockade and let the other player penetrate his position. ...
- In computer vision triangulation refers to the process of determining a point in 3D space given its projections onto two, or more, images. ...
- Triangulation is a strategy whereby a trader exploits the relationship between 3 currencies, as 3 pairs. For example, EUR/CHF EUR/USD and USD/CHF. EUR/USD and USD/CHF are USD opposites (except for pip value), so if USD is moving, EUR/USD and USD/CHF should move opposite, but they do not. ...
- Triangulation is the name given to the act of a political candidate presenting his or her ideology as being "above" and "between" the "left" and "right" sides (or "wings") of a traditional (e.g. UK or US) democratic "political spectrum". ...
