The knot curve is a quartic curve with implicit Cartesian equation (x^2-1)^2=y^2(3+2y). (1) The x- and y-intercepts are (0,-1), (0,1/2), and (+/-1,0). It has horizontal ...

The area of the dodecagon (n=12) inscribed in a unit circle with R=1 is A=1/2nR^2sin((2pi)/n)=3.

The Malfatti triangle DeltaGamma_AGamma_BGamma_C of a reference triangle DeltaABC is the triangle formed by the centers of its Malfatti circles.

A Maurer rose is a plot of a "walk" along an n- (or 2n-) leafed rose curve in steps of a fixed number d degrees, including all cosets.

The n-roll mill curve is given by the equation x^n-(n; 2)x^(n-2)y^2+(n; 4)x^(n-4)y^4-...=a^n, where (n; k) is a binomial coefficient.

The Napoleon crossdifference is the crossdifference of the Napoleon points. It has triangle center function alpha_(1510)=((b^2-c^2)[2cos(2A)-1])/a and is Kimberling center ...

The evolute of the nephroid given by x = 1/2[3cost-cos(3t)] (1) y = 1/2[3sint-sin(3t)] (2) is given by x = cos^3t (3) y = 1/4[3sint+sin(3t)], (4) which is another nephroid.

The involute of the nephroid given by x = 1/2[3cost-cos(3t)] (1) y = 1/2[3sint-sin(3t)] (2) beginning at the point where the nephroid cuts the y-axis is given by x = 4cos^3t ...

A conic section on which the midpoints of the sides of any complete quadrangle lie. The three diagonal points P, Q, and R also lie on this conic.

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, ...
