The lituus is an Archimedean spiral with n=-2, having polar equation r^2theta=a^2. (1) Lituus means a "crook," in the sense of a bishop's crosier. The lituus curve originated ...

A locus is the set of all points (usually forming a curve or surface) satisfying some condition. For example, the locus of points in the plane equidistant from a given point ...

The M'Cay cubic Z(X_3) is a self-isogonal cubic given by the locus of all points whose pedal circle touches the nine-point circle, or equivalently, the locus of all points P ...

For a triangle DeltaABC and three points A^', B^', and C^', one on each of its sides, the three Miquel circles are the circles passing through each polygon vertex and its ...

Given a point P and a triangle DeltaABC, the Miquel triangle is the triangle DeltaP_AP_BP_C connecting the side points P_A, P_B, and P_C of DeltaABC with respect to which M ...

A multistable polyhedron is a polyhedron that can change form from one stable configuration to another with only a slight transient nondestructive elastic stretch (Goldberg ...

The first Napoleon point N is the concurrence of lines drawn between vertices of a given triangle DeltaABC and the opposite vertices of the corresponding inner Napoleon ...

Let u_(p) be a unit tangent vector of a regular surface M subset R^3. Then the normal curvature of M in the direction u_(p) is kappa(u_(p))=S(u_(p))·u_(p), (1) where S is the ...

The orthocentroidal circle of a triangle DeltaABC is a central circle having the segment joining the triangle centroid G and orthocenter H of DeltaABC as its diameter ...

An orthodiagonal quadrangle is a quadrangle whose diagonals are perpendicular to each other. If a, b, c, and d are the sides of a quadrangle, then this quadrangle is ...
