Egg-shaped curves constructed using multiple circles which Thom (1967) used to model Megalithic stone rings in Britain.

Take any triangle with polygon vertices A, B, and C. Pick a point A_1 on the side opposite A, and draw a line parallel to BC. Upon reaching the side AC at B_1, draw the line ...

The Thomson cubic Z(X_2) of a triangle DeltaABC is the locus the centers of circumconics whose normals at the vertices are concurrent. It is a self-isogonal cubic with pivot ...

A lamp is turned on for 1/2 minute, off for 1/4 minute, on for 1/8 minute, etc. At the end of one minute, the lamp switch will have been moved aleph_0 times, where aleph_0 is ...

The Thomson problem is to determine the stable equilibrium positions of n classical electrons constrained to move on the surface of a sphere and repelling each other by an ...

1000=10^3. The word "thousand" appears in common expressions in a number of languages, for example, "a thousand pardons" in English and "tusen takk" ("a thousand thanks") in ...

The larger an arc is, the smaller its radius appears. For example, the three arcs illustrated above belong circles of the same radius.

A lattice polygon formed by a three-choice walk. The anisotropic perimeter and area generating function G(x,y,q)=sum_(m>=1)sum_(n>=1)sum_(a>=a)C(m,n,a)x^my^nq^a, where ...

A self-avoiding walk in which steps may be to the left, right, or straight ahead after a vertical step, but only straight ahead or to the left after a horizontal step. A ...

The three-chord lemma states that in the figure above, l_1+l_2=2lcostheta.
