Consider three squares erected externally on the sides of a triangle DeltaABC. Call the centers of these squares O_A, O_B, and O_C, respectively. Then the lines AO_A, BO_B, ...

A curve named after James Watt (1736-1819), the Scottish engineer who developed the steam engine (MacTutor Archive). The curve is produced by a linkage of rods connecting two ...

Whirls are figures constructed by nesting a sequence of polygons (each having the same number of sides), each slightly smaller and rotated relative to the previous one. The ...

Begin with the Yff central triangle and then parallel-displace the isoscelizers in such a way as to reduce the central triangle to a point while keeping the other three ...

Let three isoscelizers I_(AC)I_(AB), I_(BA)I_(BC), and I_(CA)I_(CB) be constructed on a triangle DeltaABC, one for each side. This makes all of the inner triangles similar to ...

The Yff contact triangle DeltaX_AX_BX_C (a term coined here for the first time), is the Cevian triangle of Kimberling center X_(190). It is the polar triangle of the Yff ...

The Yff hyperbola is the hyperbola given parametrically by (1) The trilinear equation is complicated expression with coefficients up to degree 10 in the side lengths. This ...

An inconic with parameters x:y:z=a(b-c):b(c-a):c(a-b), (1) giving equation (2) (Kimberling 1998, pp. 238-239). Its focus is Kimberling center X_(101) and its conic section ...

Let points A^', B^', and C^' be marked off some fixed distance x along each of the sides BC, CA, and AB. Then the lines AA^', BB^', and CC^' concur in a point U known as the ...

The Yiu A-circle of a reference triangle DeltaABC is the circle passing through vertex A and the reflections of vertices B and C with respect to the opposite sides. The Yiu ...
