The hypocycloid x = a/(a-2b)[(a-b)cosphi-bcos((a-b)/bphi)] (1) y = a/(a-2b)[(a-b)sinphi+bsin((a-b)/bphi)] (2) has involute x = (a-2b)/a[(a-b)cosphi+bcos((a-b)/bphi)] (3) y = ...

The pedal curve for an n-cusped hypocycloid x = a((n-1)cost+cos[(n-1)t])/n (1) y = a((n-1)sint-sin[(n-1)t])/n (2) with pedal point at the origin is the curve x_p = ...

y^(n/m)+c|x/a|^(n/m)-c=0, with n/m<2. If n/m>2, the curve is a hyperellipse.

The evolute of a hypotrochoid is a complicated equation. Examples are illustrated above.

Let the center B of a circle of radius a move along a line BA. Let O be a fixed point located a distance c away from AB. Draw a secant line through O and D, the midpoint of ...

The curve defined by the Cartesian equation f(x)=ln|(sinx)/x|=ln|sinc(x)|. The Kilroy curve arises in the study of spread spectra plotted on a logarithmic (decibel) scale, ...

The knot curve is a quartic curve with implicit Cartesian equation (x^2-1)^2=y^2(3+2y). (1) The x- and y-intercepts are (0,-1), (0,1/2), and (+/-1,0). It has horizontal ...

The area of the dodecagon (n=12) inscribed in a unit circle with R=1 is A=1/2nR^2sin((2pi)/n)=3.

The Malfatti triangle DeltaGamma_AGamma_BGamma_C of a reference triangle DeltaABC is the triangle formed by the centers of its Malfatti circles.

A Maurer rose is a plot of a "walk" along an n- (or 2n-) leafed rose curve in steps of a fixed number d degrees, including all cosets.
