The quartic surface resembling a squashed round cushion on a barroom stool and given by the equation z^2x^2-z^4-2zx^2+2z^3+x^2-z^2 -(x^2-z)^2-y^4-2x^2y^2-y^2z^2+2y^2z+y^2=0.

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 ...

The function f(x)=1-2|x|^(1/2) for x in [-1,1]. The natural invariant is rho(y)=1/2(1-y).

The slicing of a three-dimensional object by a plane (or more general slice).

A vector v on a Hilbert space H is said to be cyclic if there exists some bounded linear operator T on H so that the set of orbits {T^iv}_(i=0)^infty={v,Tv,T^2v,...} is dense ...

The catacaustic of one arch of a cycloid given parametrically as x = t-sint (1) y = 1-cost (2) is a complicated expression for an arbitrary radiant point. For the case of the ...

The evolute of the cycloid x(t) = a(t-sint) (1) y(t) = a(1-cost) (2) is given by x(t) = a(t+sint) (3) y(t) = a(cost-1). (4) As can be seen in the above figure, the evolute is ...

The involute of the cycloid x = a(t-sint) (1) y = a(1-cost) (2) is given by x_i = a(t+sint) (3) y_i = a(3+cost). (4) As can be seen in the above figure, the involute is ...

The radial curve of the cycloid with parametric equations x = a(t-sint) (1) y = a(1-cost) (2) is the circle x_r = x_0+2asint (3) y_r = -2a+y_0+2acost. (4)

Let p be an odd prime and F_n the cyclotomic field of p^(n+1)th roots of unity over the rational field. Now let p^(e(n)) be the power of p which divides the class number h_n ...
