The epispiral is a plane curve with polar equation r=asec(ntheta). There are n sections if n is odd and 2n if n is even. A slightly more symmetric version considers instead ...

The Garfield curve is the name sometimes given to the curve with polar equation r=thetacostheta when plotted from theta=-2pi to 2pi (Sisson and Szarvas 2016) because of its ...

The hippopede, also known as the horse fetter, is a curve given by the polar equation r^2=4b(a-bsin^2theta). Hippopedes are plotted above for values of a/b=0.2 to 2.0.

The central point (r=0) in polar coordinates, or the point with all zero coordinates (0, ..., 0) in Cartesian coordinates. In three dimensions, the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis ...

The pedal curve of a sinusoidal spiral r=a[cos(nt)]^(1/n) with pedal point at the center is another sinusoidal spiral with polar equation r=a[cos(nt)]^(1+1/n). A few examples ...

A polar zonohedron is a convex zonohedron derived from the star which joins opposite vertices of any right n-gonal prism (for n even) or antiprism (for n odd). The faces of ...

Given a triangle center X=l:m:n, the line mnalpha+nlbeta+lmgamma=0, where alpha:beta:gamma are trilinear coordinates, is called the trilinear polar (Kimberling 1998, p. 38). ...

A coaxal system is a system of coaxal circles. A spectacular example is the set of circles (circumcircle, nine-point circle, orthocentroidal circle, orthoptic circle of the ...

The diagonal triangle of a complete quadrangle is the triangle formed by its three diagonal points. If the quadrangle is a cyclic quadrilateral, then the circle is the polar ...

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.
