A surface which a monkey can straddle with both legs and his tail. A simple Cartesian equation for such a surface is z=x(x^2-3y^2), (1) which can also be given by the ...

The 120-cell is a finite regular four-dimensional polytope with Schläfli symbol {5,3,3}. It is also known as the hyperdodecahedron or hecatonicosachoron, and is composed of ...

The point that inversion of a curve is performed with respect to.

The Gauss map is a function N from an oriented surface M in Euclidean space R^3 to the unit sphere in R^3. It associates to every point on the surface its oriented unit ...

The pedal curve of an astroid x = acos^3t (1) y = asin^3t (2) with pedal point at the center is the quadrifolium x_p = acostsin^2t (3) y_p = acos^2tsint. (4)

The radial curve of a unit circle from a radial point (x,y) and parametric equations x = cost (1) y = sint (2) is another circle with parametric equations x_r = x-cost (3) ...

The radial curve of the tractrix x = a(t-tanht) (1) y = asecht (2) with radiant point (x_0,y_0) is the kappa curve x_r = x_0+atanht (3) y_r = y_0+asinhttanht. (4)

An acnode, also called an isolated point or hermit point, of a curve is a point that satisfies the equation of the curve but has no neighboring points that also lie on the ...

A topological space that is not connected, i.e., which can be decomposed as the disjoint union of two nonempty open subsets. Equivalently, it can be characterized as a space ...

In the above figure, let E be the intersection of AD and BC and specify that AB∥EF∥CD. Then 1/(AB)+1/(CD)=1/(EF). A beautiful related theorem due to H. Stengel can be stated ...
