An octic curve is an algebraic curve of order eight. The pear curve is an example of an octic curve.

Any prime number other than 2 (which is the unique even prime). Humorously, 2 is therefore the "oddest" prime.

The intersection H of the three altitudes AH_A, BH_B, and CH_C of a triangle is called the orthocenter. The name was invented by Besant and Ferrers in 1865 while walking on a ...

A popular acronym for "principal ideal domain." In engineering circles, the acronym PID refers to the "proportional-integral-derivative method" algorithm for controlling ...

The fraction eta of a volume filled by a given collection of solids.

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 ...

A curve given by the Cartesian equation b^2y^2=x^3(a-x). (1) It has area A=(a^3pi)/(8b). (2) The curvature is kappa(x)=(2b^2(3a^2-12ax+8x^2))/(sqrt(x)[4b^2(a-x)+(3a-4x)^2x]). ...

The pentagrammic deltohedron (Har'El 1993) is the dual polyhedron of the pentagrammic antiprism U_(79).

To find the minimum distance between a point in the plane (x_0,y_0) and a quadratic plane curve y=a_0+a_1x+a_2x^2, (1) note that the square of the distance is r^2 = ...

A polygrammic prism is a prism formed by two regular polygrams offset along their symmetry axis and with corresponding edges connected by lateral faces. The hexagrammic prism ...
