The eighth proposition in the third book of the Elements is one of Euclid's most complex propositions. It shows that a segment through an outside point D and a circle is ...

The Peano-Gosper curve is a plane-filling function originally called a "flowsnake" by R. W. Gosper and M. Gardner. Mandelbrot (1977) subsequently coined the name Peano-Gosper ...

The theory of natural numbers defined by the five Peano's axioms. Paris and Harrington (1977) gave the first "natural" example of a statement which is true for the integers ...

A number of fractal curves are associated with Peano. The Peano curve is the fractal curve illustrated above which can be written as a Lindenmayer system. The nth iteration ...

If the pedal triangle of a point P in a triangle DeltaABC is a Cevian triangle, then the point P is called the pedal-cevian point of DeltaABC with respect to the pedal ...

The pedal circle with respect to a pedal point P of a triangle DeltaA_1A_2A_3 is the circumcircle of the pedal triangle DeltaP_1P_2P_3 with respect to P. Amazingly, the ...

The Pell polynomials P(x) are the W-polynomials generated by the Lucas polynomial sequence using the generator p(x)=2x, q(x)=1. This gives recursive equations for P(x) from ...

The set of all lines through a point. The term was first used by Desargues (Cremona 1960, p. x). The six angles of any pencils of four rays O{ABCD} are connected by the ...

The pentagonal dipyramid is one of the convex deltahedra, and Johnson solid J_(13). It is also the dual polyhedron of the pentagonal prism U_(76) and is an isohedron. It is ...

The pentagonal gyrobicupola is a convex equilateral solid that is Johnson solid J_(31). The unit pentagonal gyrobicupola has volume V=1/3(5+4sqrt(5)) (1) and Dehn invariant D ...
