A plane curve proposed by Descartes to challenge Fermat's extremum-finding techniques. In parametric form, x = (3at)/(1+t^3) (1) y = (3at^2)/(1+t^3). (2) The curve has a ...

A 30-60-90 triangle is a right triangle having angles of 30 degrees, 60 degrees, and 90 degrees. For a 30-60-90 triangle with hypotenuse of length a, the legs have lengths b ...

The best known example of an Anosov diffeomorphism. It is given by the transformation [x_(n+1); y_(n+1)]=[1 1; 1 2][x_n; y_n], (1) where x_(n+1) and y_(n+1) are computed mod ...

The quartic curve given by the implicit equation (x^2-a^2)(x-a)^2+(y^2-a^2)^2=0, (1) so-named because of its resemblance to a tooth. The bicuspid curve has cusps at (a,-a) ...

The only known classically known algebraic curve of curve genus g>1 that has an explicit parametrization (x(t),y(t)) in terms of standard special functions (Burnside 1893, ...

Cantor dust is a fractal that can be constructed using string rewriting beginning with a cell [0] and iterating the rules {0->[0 0 0; 0 0 0; 0 0 0],1->[1 0 1; 0 0 0; 1 0 1]}. ...

Given any triangle ABC, the signed sum of perpendicular distances from the circumcenter O to the sides (i.e., signed lengths of the pedal lines from O) is OO_A+OO_B+OO_C=R+r, ...

A chamfered cube, also inaccurately called a truncated rhombic dodecahedron or more accurately called a tetratruncated rhombic dodecahedron, is a polyhedron obtained by ...

A chamfered dodecahedron, inaccurately called a truncated rhombic triacontahedron or more accurately called a pentatruncated rhombic triacontahedron, is a polyhedron obtained ...

A chamfered octahedron, which could also know known as a tritruncated rhombic dodecahedron, is a polyhedron obtained by chamfering a regular octahedron. The illustration ...
