The involute of a parabola x = at^2 (1) y = at (2) is given by x_i = -(atsinh^(-1)(2t))/(2sqrt(4t^2+1)) (3) y_i = a(1/2t-(sinh^(-1)(2t))/(4sqrt(4t^2+1))). (4) Defining ...

A curve given by the Cartesian equation b^2y^2=x^3(a-x). (1) It has area A=(a^3pi)/(8b). (2) The curvature is kappa(x)=(2b^2(3a^2-12ax+8x^2))/(sqrt(x)[4b^2(a-x)+(3a-4x)^2x]). ...

For some range of r, the Mandelbrot set lemniscate L_3 in the iteration towards the Mandelbrot set is a pear-shaped curve. In Cartesian coordinates with a constant r, the ...

y^m=kx^n(a-x)^b. The curves with integer n, b, and m were studied by de Sluze between 1657 and 1698. The name "Pearls of Sluze" was given to these curves by Blaise Pascal ...

The Plateau curves were studied by the Belgian physicist and mathematician Joseph Plateau. They have Cartesian equation x = (asin[(m+n)t])/(sin[(m-n)t]) (1) y = ...

The evolute of the prolate cycloid x = at-bsint (1) y = a-bcost (2) (with b>a) is given by x = a[t+((bcost-a)sint)/(acost-b)] (3) y = (a(a-bcost)^2)/(b(acost-b)). (4)

Let t, u, and v be the lengths of the tangents to a circle C from the vertices of a triangle with sides of lengths a, b, and c. Then the condition that C is tangent to the ...

The Scarabaeus curve is a sextic curve given by the equation (x^2+y^2)(x^2+y^2+ax)^2-b^2(x^2-y^2)^2=0 and by the polar equation r=bcos(2theta)-acostheta where a,b!=0.

If a triangle is inscribed in a conic section, any line conjugate to one side meets the other two sides in conjugate points.

The triquetra is a geometric figure consisting of three mutually intersecting vesica piscis lens shapes, as illustrated above. The central region common to all three lenses ...
