The stirrup curve is the quartic curve given by the equation (x^2-1)^2=y^2(y-1)(y-2)(y+5).

A subspace A of X is called a strong deformation retract of X if there is a homotopy F:X×I->X (called a retract) such that for all x in X, a in A, and t in I, 1. F(x,0)=x, 2. ...

The number of real roots of an algebraic equation with real coefficients whose real roots are simple over an interval, the endpoints of which are not roots, is equal to the ...

A superellipse is a curve with Cartesian equation |x/a|^r+|y/b|^r=1, (1) first discussed in 1818 by Lamé. A superellipse may be described parametrically by x = acos^(2/r)t ...

Let (x_0,y_0) be any point of a surface function z=f(x,y). Then the surface has a nonvertical tangent plane at (x_0,y_0) with equation ...

A quartic surface given by the implicit equation x^4-5x^2+y^4-5y^2+z^4-5z^2+11.8=0.

Also known as the total curvature. The linear element of the indicatrix ds_P=sqrt(ds_T^2+ds_B^2).

A totally disconnected space is a space in which all subsets with more than one element are disconnected. In particular, if it has more than one element, it is a disconnected ...

To inscribe an equilateral triangle in an ellipse, place the top polygon vertex at (0,b), then solve to find the (x,y) coordinate of the other two vertices. ...

The plane curve given by the equation xy=x^3-a^3, illustrated above for values of a ranging from 0 to 3. For a=0, the trident degenerated to a parabola.
