The "cannabis" curve is the name given here to the polar curve whose shape resembles that of a cannabis leaf. The cannabis curve encloses an area A=(27619209)/(16000000)pia^2.

There are two identities known as Catalan's identity. The first is F_n^2-F_(n+r)F_(n-r)=(-1)^(n-r)F_r^2, where F_n is a Fibonacci number. Letting r=1 gives Cassini's ...

The envelope of the lines connecting corresponding points on the Jacobian curve and Steinerian curve. The Cayleyian curve of a net of curves of order n has the same curve ...

An ellipse or hyperbola.

A change of coordinates matrix, also called a transition matrix, specifies the transformation from one vector basis to another under a change of basis. For example, if ...

A subset of a topological space which is compact with respect to the relative topology.

Two complex numbers z=x+iy and z^'=x^'+iy^' are added together componentwise, z+z^'=(x+x^')+i(y+y^'). In component form, (x,y)+(x^',y^')=(x+x^',y+y^') (Krantz 1999, p. 1).

Confocal conics are conic sections sharing a common focus. Any two confocal central conics are orthogonal (Ogilvy 1990, p. 77).

For a countable set of n disjoint events E_1, E_2, ..., E_n P( union _(i=1)^nE_i)=sum_(i=1)^nP(E_i).

Let sigma_1, ..., sigma_4 be four planes in general position through a point P and let P_(ij) be a point on the line sigma_i·sigma_j. Let sigma_(ijk) denote the plane ...
