Three circles packed inside a triangle such that each is tangent to the other two and to two sides of the triangle are known as Malfatti circles. The Malfatti configuration ...

A quantity by which another (the multiplicand) is multiplied. For example, in the expression a×b, a is the multiplier. The result of the multiplication of two or more ...

The Pappus spiral is the name given to the conical spiral with parametric equations x(t) = asin(alphat)cost (1) y(t) = asin(alphat)sint (2) x(t) = acos(alphat) (3) by ...

Given a parabola with parametric equations x = at^2 (1) y = at, (2) the evolute is given by x_e = 1/2a(1+6t^2) (3) y_e = -4at^3. (4) Eliminating x and y gives the implicit ...

The specification of a curve, surface, etc., by means of one or more variables which are allowed to take on values in a given specified range.

The pedal coordinates of a point P with respect to the curve C and the pedal point O are the radial distance r from O to P and the perpendicular distance p from O to the line ...

Poinsot's spirals are the two polar curves with equations r = acsch(ntheta) (1) r = asech(ntheta). (2)

A pseudoanalytic function is a function defined using generalized Cauchy-Riemann equations. Pseudoanalytic functions come as close as possible to having complex derivatives ...

An epicycloid with n=5 cusps, named after the buttercup genus Ranunculus (Madachy 1979). Its parametric equations are x = a[6cost-cos(6t)] (1) y = a[6sint-sin(6t)]. (2) Its ...

The inverse curve of a right strophoid with parametric equations x = (1-t^2)/(t^2+1) (1) y = (t(t^2-1))/(t^2+1) (2) for an inversion circle with radius 1 and center (1,0) is ...
