In Kepler's 1619 book Harmonice Mundi on tilings, he discussed a tiling built with pentagons, pentagrams, decagons, and "fused decagon pairs." He also called them "monsters." ...

The keratoid cusp is quintic algebraic curve defined by y^2=x^2y+x^5. (1) It has a ramphoid cusp at the origin, horizontal tangents at (0,0) and (-6/(25),(108)/(3125)), and a ...

An a×b rectangle can be packed with 1×n strips iff n|a or n|b.

The latus rectum of a conic section is the chord through a focus parallel to the conic section directrix (Coxeter 1969). "Latus rectum" is a compound of the Latin latus, ...

The inverse curve of a lemniscate in a circle centered at the origin and touching the lemniscate where it crosses the x-axis produces a rectangular hyperbola (Wells 1991).

Lemoine geometry is that part of triangle geometry concerned with symmedians and symmedian points.

The Leonine triangle DeltaX_AX_BX_C (a term coined here for the first time), is the Cevian triangle of Kimberling center X_(598). It is the polar triangle of the Lemoine ...

If P is any point on a line TT^' whose orthopole is S, then the circle power of S with respect to the pedal circle of P is a constant (Gallatly 1913, p. 51).

Pick a point O in the interior of a quadrilateral which is not a parallelogram. Join this point to each of the four vertices, then the locus of points O for which the sum of ...

Limacon Evolute The catacaustic of a circle for a radiant point is the limaçon evolute. It has parametric equations x = (a[4a^2+4b^2+9abcost-abcos(3t)])/(4(2a^2+b^2+3abcost)) ...
