The order of the polynomial defining an algebraic curve.

The Hilbert curve is a Lindenmayer system invented by Hilbert (1891) whose limit is a plane-filling function which fills a square. Traversing the polyhedron vertices of an ...

For a given curve C, consider the locus of the point P from where the tangents from P to C meet at a fixed given angle. This is called an isoptic curve of the given curve. ...

The Ochoa curve is the elliptic curve 3Y^2=2X^3+386X^2+256X-58195, given in Weierstrass form as y^2=x^3-440067x+106074110. The complete set of 23 integer solutions (where ...

A quartic algebraic curve also called the peg-top curve and given by the Cartesian equation a^4y^2=b^2x^3(2a-x) (1) and the parametric curves x = a(1+sint) (2) y = ...

The "trefoil" curve is the name given by Cundy and Rollett (1989, p. 72) to the quartic plane curve given by the equation x^4+x^2y^2+y^4=x(x^2-y^2). (1) As such, it is a ...

The ampersand curve is the name given by Cundy and Rowlett (1989, p. 72) to the quartic curve with implicit equation (y^2-x^2)(x-1)(2x-3)=4(x^2+y^2-2x)^2. (1) Although it is ...

The quartic curve given by the implicit equation (x^2-a^2)(x-a)^2+(y^2-a^2)^2=0, (1) so-named because of its resemblance to a tooth. The bicuspid curve has cusps at (a,-a) ...

A noncylindrical ruled surface always has a parameterization of the form x(u,v)=sigma(u)+vdelta(u), (1) where |delta|=1, sigma^'·delta^'=0, and sigma is called the striction ...

One of the Plücker characteristics, defined by p=1/2(n-1)(n-2)-(delta+kappa)=1/2(m-1)(m-2)-(tau+iota), where m is the class, n the order, delta the number of nodes, kappa the ...
