A spheric section is the curve formed by the intersection of a plane with a sphere. Excluding the degenerate cases of the plane tangent to the sphere or the plane not ...

Let a Cevian PC be drawn on a triangle DeltaABC, and denote the lengths m=PA^_ and n=PB^_, with c=m+n. Then Stewart's theorem, also called Apollonius' theorem, states that ...

A superegg is a solid described by the equation |sqrt((x^2+y^2)/(a^2))|^n+|z/b|^n=1. (1) The special case n=2 gives a spheroid. Special cases of volume V_n are given by V_1 = ...

The center of the Taylor circle. It has triangle center function alpha_(389)=cosA-cos(2A)cos(B-C) and is Kimberling center X_(389), which is the center of the Spieker circle ...

Any nontrivial, closed, simple, smooth spherical curve dividing the surface of a sphere into two parts of equal areas has at least four inflection points.

The third Brocard point has triangle center function alpha=a^(-3) and is Kimberling center X_(76) (Kimberling 1998, p. 78). The point may have received its name since its ...

Egg-shaped curves constructed using multiple circles which Thom (1967) used to model Megalithic stone rings in Britain.

If three conics pass through two given points Q and Q^', then the lines joining the other two intersections of each pair of conics P_(ij)P_(ij)^' are concurrent at a point X ...

Tomography is the study of the reconstruction of two- and three-dimensional objects from one-dimensional slices. The Radon transform is an important tool in tomography. ...

The torsion of a space curve, sometimes also called the "second curvature" (Kreyszig 1991, p. 47), is the rate of change of the curve's osculating plane. The torsion tau is ...
