A cusp is a point at which two branches of a curve meet such that the tangents of each branch are equal. The above plot shows the semicubical parabola curve x^3-y^2=0, which ...

The Steiner triangle DeltaS_AS_BS_C (a term coined here for the first time), is the Cevian triangle of the Steiner point S. It is the polar triangle of the Kiepert parabola. ...

The surface corresponding to the region of obscuration when a solid is illuminated from a point light source (located at the radiant point). A disk is the shadow of a sphere ...

The directrix of a conic section is the line which, together with the point known as the focus, serves to define a conic section as the locus of points whose distance from ...

An isoptic curve formed from the locus of tangents meeting at right angles. The orthoptic of a parabola is its conic section directrix. The orthoptic of a central conic was ...

The Yff contact triangle DeltaX_AX_BX_C (a term coined here for the first time), is the Cevian triangle of Kimberling center X_(190). It is the polar triangle of the Yff ...

The surface of revolution of the parabola which is the shape used in the reflectors of automobile headlights (Steinhaus 1999, p. 242; Hilbert and Cohn-Vossen 1999). It is a ...

The Parry point is one of the two intersections of the Parry circle and the circumcircle of a triangle (the other is the focus of the Kiepert parabola, which is Kimberling ...

The catacaustic of the Tschirnhausen cubic with parametric representation x = 3(t^2-3) (1) y = t(t^2-3) (2) with radiant point at (-8,0) is the semicubical parabola with ...

Curves with Cartesian equation ay^2=x(x^2-2bx+c) with a>0. The above equation represents the third class of Newton's classification of cubic curves, which Newton divided into ...
