The north pole is the point on a sphere with maximum z-coordinate for a given coordinate system. For a rotating sphere like the Earth, the natural coordinate system is ...

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 ...

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 ...

The point at which the three lines connecting the vertices of two perspective triangles concur, sometimes also called the perspective center, homology center, or pole. In the ...

There exists a triangulation point Y for which the triangles BYC, CYA, and AYB have equal Brocard angles. This point is a triangle center known as the equi-Brocard center and ...

The Lemoine ellipse is an inconic (that is always an ellipse) that has inconic parameters x:y:z=(2(b^2+c^2)-a^2)/(bc):(2(a^2+c^2)-b^2)/(ac): (2(a^2+b^2)-c^2)/(ab). (1) The ...

In the figure above with tangent line PT and secant line PA, (PA)/(PT)=(PT)/(PB) (1) (Jurgensen et al. 1963, p. 346). The line tangent to a circle of radius a centered at ...

A four-sided quadrilateral not contained in a plane. The lines connecting the midpoints of opposite sides of a skew quadrilateral intersect (and bisect) each other (Steinhaus ...

The Schoute center is the inverse of the symmedian point in the circumcircle. It has triangle center function alpha_(187)=a(2a^2-b^2-c^2) and corresponds to Kimberling center ...

The Darboux cubic Z(X_(20)) of a triangle DeltaABC is the locus of all pedal-cevian points (i.e., of all points whose pedal triangle is perspective with DeltaABC). It is a ...
