A framework is called "just rigid" if it is rigid, but ceases to be so when any single bar is removed. Lamb (1928, pp. 93-94) proved that a necessary (but not sufficient) ...

The Kampyle of Eudoxus is a curve studied by Eudoxus in relation to the classical problem of cube duplication. It is given by the polar equation r=asec^2theta, (1) and the ...

The keratoid cusp is quintic algebraic curve defined by y^2=x^2y+x^5. (1) It has a ramphoid cusp at the origin, horizontal tangents at (0,0) and (-6/(25),(108)/(3125)), and a ...

Let the center B of a circle of radius a move along a line BA. Let O be a fixed point located a distance c away from AB. Draw a secant line through O and D, the midpoint of ...

The equation defining Killing vectors. L_Xg_(ab)=X_(a;b)+X_(b;a)=2X_((a;b))=0, where L is the Lie derivative and X_(b;a) is a covariant derivative.

The curve defined by the Cartesian equation f(x)=ln|(sinx)/x|=ln|sinc(x)|. The Kilroy curve arises in the study of spread spectra plotted on a logarithmic (decibel) scale, ...

If a real algebraic curve has no singularities except nodes and cusps, bitangents, and inflection points, then n+2tau_2^'+iota^'=m+2delta_2^'+kappa^', where n is the order, ...

The knot curve is a quartic curve with implicit Cartesian equation (x^2-1)^2=y^2(3+2y). (1) The x- and y-intercepts are (0,-1), (0,1/2), and (+/-1,0). It has horizontal ...

Let a spherical triangle have sides of length a, b, and c, and semiperimeter s. Then the spherical excess E is given by

The Labs septic is a septic surface having 99 ordinary double points, which is the maximum number known for any septic surface.
