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^'. ...

"The" trifolium is the three-lobed folium with b=a, i.e., the 3-petalled rose curve. It is also known as the paquerette de mélibée (Apéry 1987, p. 85), with paquerette being ...

The application of an apodization function.

The Diophantine equation x^2+k=y^3, which is also an elliptic curve. The general equation is still the focus of ongoing study.

Let P be a polynomial of degree n with derivative P^'. Then ||P^'||_infty<=n||P||_infty, where ||P||_infty=max_(|z|=1)|P(z)|.

The conic sections are the nondegenerate curves generated by the intersections of a plane with one or two nappes of a cone. For a plane perpendicular to the axis of the cone, ...

A curve and its polar reciprocal with regard to the fixed conic have the same Halphen transformation.

The boundary of complex hyperbolic 2-space.

A spherical image of a curve. The most common indicatrix is Dupin's indicatrix.

The limaçon is a polar curve of the form r=b+acostheta (1) also called the limaçon of Pascal. It was first investigated by Dürer, who gave a method for drawing it in ...
