A right strophoid is the strophoid of a line L with pole O not on L and fixed point O^' being the point where the perpendicular from O to L cuts L is called a right ...

A semicubical parabola is a curve of the form y=+/-ax^(3/2) (1) (i.e., it is half a cubic, and hence has power 3/2). It has parametric equations x = t^2 (2) y = at^3, (3) and ...

A curve which may pass through any region of three-dimensional space, as contrasted to a plane curve which must lie in a single plane. Von Staudt (1847) classified space ...

The spherical curve taken by a ship which travels from the south pole to the north pole of a sphere while keeping a fixed (but not right) angle with respect to the meridians. ...

Let C be a curve, let O be a fixed point (the pole), and let O^' be a second fixed point. Let P and P^' be points on a line through O meeting C at Q such that P^'Q=QP=QO^'. ...

A closed trail is called a circuit when it is specified in cyclic order but no first vertex is explicitly identified.

A Ramsey number of the form R(k,k;2).

Edge splitting is the reverse of edge contraction.

An elegant algorithm for constructing an Eulerian cycle (Skiena 1990, p. 193).

The problem of deciding if four colors are sufficient to color any map on a plane or sphere.
