A conic section that is tangent to all sides of a triangle is called an inconic. Any trilinear equation of the form ...

A cusp is a point at which two branches of a curve meet such that the tangents of each branch are equal. The above plot shows the semicubical parabola curve x^3-y^2=0, which ...

An initial point that provides safe convergence of Newton's method (Smale 1981; Petković et al. 1997, p. 1).

The pedal curve to the Tschirnhausen cubic for pedal point at the origin is the parabola x = 1-t^2 (1) y = 2t. (2)

The pedal curve of a rectangular hyperbola with the pedal point at the focus is a circle (left figure; Hilbert and Cohn-Vossen 1999, p. 26). The pedal curve of a rectangular ...

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 ...

Any entire analytic function whose range omits two points must be a constant function. Of course, an entire function that omits a single point from its range need not be a ...

A self-isogonal cubic us a triangle cubic that is invariant under isogonal conjugation. The term is commonly applied to mean a pivotal isogonal cubic, in which points P lying ...

A self-isotomic cubic us a triangle cubic that is invariant under isotomic conjugation. The term is commonly applied to mean a pivotal isotomic cubic, in which points P lying ...

A straight line is tangent to a given curve f(x) at a point x_0 on the curve if the line passes through the point (x_0,f(x_0)) on the curve and has slope f^'(x_0), where ...
