The evolute of the cardioid x = cost(1+cost) (1) y = sint(1+cost) (2) is the curve x_e = 2/3a+1/3acostheta(1-costheta) (3) y_e = 1/3asintheta(1-costheta), (4) which is a ...

The evolute of Cayley's sextic with parametrization x = 4acos^3(1/3theta)cost (1) y = 4acos^3(1/3theta)sint (2) is given by x_e = 1/4[2+3cos(2/3t)-cos(2t)] (3) y_e = ...

If a one-parameter family of curves has index N and class M, the number tangent to a curve of order n_1 and class m_1 in general position is m_1N+n_1M.

An ellipse intersects a circle in 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 points. The points of intersection of a circle of center (x_0,y_0) and radius r with an ellipse of semi-major and ...

Given two closed curves, the circuminscribed curve is simultaneously inscribed in the outer one and circumscribed on the inner one.

A complete metric is a metric in which every Cauchy sequence is convergent. A topological space with a complete metric is called a complete metric space.

A proof based on a dissection which shows the formula for the area of a plane figure or of the volume of a solid. Dozens of different dissection proofs are known for the ...
