The Pappus configuration is the 9_3 configuration illustrated above that appears in Pappus's hexagon theorem. It is one of the three 9_3 configurations. The Levi graph of the ...

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 ...

AW, AB, and AY in the above figure are in a harmonic range.

There are several theorems that generally are known by the generic name "Pappus's Theorem." They include Pappus's centroid theorem, the Pappus chain, Pappus's harmonic ...

The inverse curve for a parabola given by x = at^2 (1) y = 2at (2) with inversion center (x_0,y_0) and inversion radius k is x = x_0+(k(at^2-x_0))/((at^2+x_0)^2+(2at-y_0)^2) ...

The involute of a parabola x = at^2 (1) y = at (2) is given by x_i = -(atsinh^(-1)(2t))/(2sqrt(4t^2+1)) (3) y_i = a(1/2t-(sinh^(-1)(2t))/(4sqrt(4t^2+1))). (4) Defining ...

For a parabola oriented vertically and opening upwards, the vertex is the point where the curve reaches a minimum.

A cyclide formed by inversion of a standard torus when inversion sphere is tangent to the torus.

A parabolic cyclide formed by inversion of a horn torus when the inversion sphere is tangent to the torus.

A point p on a regular surface M in R^3 is said to be parabolic if the Gaussian curvature K(p)=0 but S(p)!=0 (where S is the shape operator), or equivalently, exactly one of ...
