The spherical distance between two points P and Q on a sphere is the distance of the shortest path along the surface of the sphere (paths that cut through the interior of the ...

A hypotrochoid generated by a fixed point on a circle rolling inside a fixed circle. The curves above correspond to values of a=0.1, 0.2, ..., 1.0. Additional attractive ...

The Steiner triangle DeltaS_AS_BS_C (a term coined here for the first time), is the Cevian triangle of the Steiner point S. It is the polar triangle of the Kiepert parabola. ...

The symmedial triangle DeltaK_AK_BK_C (a term coined here for the first time), is the triangle whose vertices are the intersection points of the symmedians with the reference ...

The lines AK_A, BK_B, and CK_C which are isogonal to the triangle medians AM_A, BM_B, and CM_C of a triangle are called the triangle's symmedian. The symmedians are ...

The illusion due to psychologist Edward Bradford Titchener that a circle surrounded by other circles will appear smaller if the surrounding circles are enlarged. This effect ...

In the above figure, let DeltaABC be a right triangle, arcs AP and AQ be segments of circles centered at C and B respectively, and define a = BC (1) b = CA=CP (2) c = BA=BQ. ...

A Tucker hexagon is a hexagon inscribed in a reference triangle that has sides which are alternately parallel and antiparallel to the corresponding sides of the triangle. ...

The Tusi couple is a 2-cusped hypocycloid obtained by rolling a circle of radius a inside a circle of radius 2a. The result is a line segment (Steinhaus 1999, p. 145; Kanas ...

Let X be a connected topological space. Then X is unicoherent provided that for any closed connected subsets A and B of X, if X=A union B, then A intersection B is connected. ...
