The 60 Pascal lines of a hexagon inscribed in a conic intersect three at a time through 20 Steiner points, and also three at a time in 60 points known as Kirkman points. Each ...

Consider the decimal expansion of the reciprocal of the number seven, 1/7=0.142857142857...=0.142857^_, (1) which is a repeating decimal. Now take overlapping pairs of these ...

The dual of Brianchon's theorem (Casey 1888, p. 146), discovered by B. Pascal in 1640 when he was just 16 years old (Leibniz 1640; Wells 1986, p. 69). It states that, given a ...

A hyperbola for which the asymptotes are perpendicular, also called an equilateral hyperbola or right hyperbola. This occurs when the semimajor and semiminor axes are equal. ...

The most common statement known as Steiner's theorem (Casey 1893, p. 329) states that the Pascal lines of the hexagons 123456, 143652, and 163254 formed by interchanging the ...

If three conics pass through two given points Q and Q^', then the lines joining the other two intersections of each pair of conics P_(ij)P_(ij)^' are concurrent at a point X ...

An inconic with parameters x:y:z=a(b-c):b(c-a):c(a-b), (1) giving equation (2) (Kimberling 1998, pp. 238-239). Its focus is Kimberling center X_(101) and its conic section ...

The Pappus spiral is the name given to the conical spiral with parametric equations x(t) = asin(alphat)cost (1) y(t) = asin(alphat)sint (2) x(t) = acos(alphat) (3) by ...

The scalar form of Laplace's equation is the partial differential equation del ^2psi=0, (1) where del ^2 is the Laplacian. Note that the operator del ^2 is commonly written ...

A concho-spiral, also known as a conchospiral, is a space curve with parametric equations r = mu^ua (1) theta = u (2) z = mu^uc, (3) where mu, a, and c are fixed parameters. ...
