Let P be a polynomial of degree n with derivative P^'. Then ||P^'||_infty<=n||P||_infty, where ||P||_infty=max_(|z|=1)|P(z)|.

The conic sections are the nondegenerate curves generated by the intersections of a plane with one or two nappes of a cone. For a plane perpendicular to the axis of the cone, ...

In general, there are two important types of curvature: extrinsic curvature and intrinsic curvature. The extrinsic curvature of curves in two- and three-space was the first ...

A curve and its polar reciprocal with regard to the fixed conic have the same Halphen transformation.

The boundary of complex hyperbolic 2-space.

A spherical image of a curve. The most common indicatrix is Dupin's indicatrix.

The principal normal indicatrix of a closed space curve with nonvanishing curvature bisects the area of the unit sphere if it is embedded.

The limaçon is a polar curve of the form r=b+acostheta (1) also called the limaçon of Pascal. It was first investigated by Dürer, who gave a method for drawing it in ...

The normal vector, often simply called the "normal," to a surface is a vector which is perpendicular to the surface at a given point. When normals are considered on closed ...

Two (or more) intersecting curves that are perpendicular at their intersection are said to be orthogonal.
