The intersection of an ellipse centered at the origin and semiaxes of lengths a and b oriented along the Cartesian axes with a line passing through the origin and point ...

For an ellipse given by the parametric equations x = acost (1) y = bsint, (2) the catacaustic is a complicated expression for generic radiant point (x_r,y_r). However, it ...

Due to Euler's prolific output, there are a great number of theorems that are know by the name "Euler's theorem." A sampling of these are Euler's displacement theorem for ...

The pedal curve for an n-cusped hypocycloid x = a((n-1)cost+cos[(n-1)t])/n (1) y = a((n-1)sint-sin[(n-1)t])/n (2) with pedal point at the origin is the curve x_p = ...

The inner Vecten circle is the circumcircle of the inner Vecten triangle. It has center at Kimberling center X_(642), which is the complement of the inner Vecten point ...

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 ...

Given a point P and a line AB, draw the perpendicular through P and call it PC. Let PD be any other line from P which meets CB in D. In a hyperbolic geometry, as D moves off ...

The MacBeath triangle DeltaX_AX_BX_C (a term coined here for the first time), is the triangle whose vertices are the contact points of the MacBeath inconic with the reference ...

Neville's algorithm is an interpolation algorithm which proceeds by first fitting a polynomial of degree 0 through the point (x_k,y_k) for k=1, ..., n, i.e., P_k(x)=y_k. A ...

A similar construction can be done by initially erecting a square internally on the side BC. This leads to the A^--inscribed square. The triangle DeltaX^-Y^-Z^- of centers of ...
