If each of two nonparallel transversals with nonminimal directions meets a given curve in finite points only, then the ratio of products of the distances from the two sets of ...

Any cubic curve that passes through eight of the nine intersections of two given cubic curves automatically passes through the ninth.

If two curves phi and psi of multiplicities r_i!=0 and s_i!=0 have only ordinary points or ordinary singular points and cusps in common, then every curve which has at least ...

Any irreducible curve may be carried by a factorable Cremona transformation into one with none but ordinary singular points.

A ruled surface M is a normal developable of a curve y if M can be parameterized by x(u,v)=y(u)+vN^^(u), where N is the normal vector (Gray 1993, pp. 352-354; first edition ...

Any continuous cumulative frequency curve, such as the one illustrated above in the right figure.

A curve y(x) is osculating to f(x) at x_0 if it is tangent at x_0 and has the same curvature there. Osculating curves therefore satisfy y^((k))(x_0)=f^((k))(x_0) for k=0, 1, ...

The plane spanned by the three points x(t), x(t+h_1), and x(t+h_2) on a curve as h_1,h_2->0. Let z be a point on the osculating plane, then [(z-x),x^',x^('')]=0, where ...

For a parabola oriented vertically and opening upwards, the vertex is the point where the curve reaches a minimum.

An apodization function similar to the Bartlett function.
