Curve
In mathematics, a curve (also called a curved line in older texts) is an object similar to a line (geometry), line, but that does not have to be Linearity, straight. Intuitively, a curve may be thought of as the trace left by a moving point (geometry), point. This is the definition that appeared more than 2000 years ago in Euclid's Elements, Euclid's ''Elements'': "The [curved] line is […] the first species of quantity, which has only one dimension, namely length, without any width nor depth, and is nothing else than the flow or run of the point which […] will leave from its imaginary moving some vestige in length, exempt of any width." This definition of a curve has been formalized in modern mathematics as: ''A curve is the image (mathematics), image of an interval (mathematics), interval to a topological space by a continuous function''. In some contexts, the function that defines the curve is called a ''parametrization'', and the curve is a parametric curve. In this artic ...

Semicubical Parabola
In mathematics, a cuspidal cubic or semicubical parabola is an algebraic plane curve that has an implicit equation of the form : y^2 - a^2 x^3 = 0 (with ) in some Cartesian coordinate system. Solving for leads to the ''explicit form'' : y = \pm a x^, which imply that every real point satisfies . The exponent explains the term ''semicubical parabola''. (A parabola can be described by the equation .) Solving the implicit equation for yields a second ''explicit form'' :x = \left(\frac\right)^. The parametric equation : \quad x = t^2, \quad y = a t^3 can also be deduced from the implicit equation by putting t = \frac. . The semicubical parabolas have a cuspidal singularity; hence the name of ''cuspidal cubic''. The arc length of the curve was calculated by the English mathematician William Neile and published in 1657 (see section History). Properties of semicubical parabolas Similarity Any semicubical parabola (t^2,at^3) is similar to the ''semicubical unit parabola'' ...

Cruciform Curve
In algebraic geometry, a quartic plane curve is a plane algebraic curve of the fourth degree of a polynomial, degree. It can be defined by a bivariate quartic equation: :Ax^4+By^4+Cx^3y+Dx^2y^2+Exy^3+Fx^3+Gy^3+Hx^2y+Ixy^2+Jx^2+Ky^2+Lxy+Mx+Ny+P=0, with at least one of not equal to zero. This equation has 15 constants. However, it can be multiplied by any non-zero constant without changing the curve; thus by the choice of an appropriate constant of multiplication, any one of the coefficients can be set to 1, leaving only 14 constants. Therefore, the space of quartic curves can be identified with the real projective space It also follows, from Cramer's theorem (algebraic curves), Cramer's theorem on algebraic curves, that there is exactly one quartic curve that passes through a set of 14 distinct points in general position, since a quartic has 14 Degrees of freedom (physics and chemistry), degrees of freedom.

Bicorn
In geometry, the bicorn, also known as a cocked hat curve due to its resemblance to a bicorne, is a rational quartic curve defined by the equation y^2 \left(a^2 - x^2\right) = \left(x^2 + 2ay - a^2\right)^2. It has two cusps and is symmetric about the y-axis. History In 1864, James Joseph Sylvester studied the curve y^4 - xy^3 - 8xy^2 + 36x^2y+ 16x^2 -27x^3 = 0 in connection with the classification of quintic equations; he named the curve a bicorn because it has two cusps. This curve was further studied by Arthur Cayley in 1867. Properties The bicorn is a plane algebraic curve of degree four and genus zero. It has two cusp singularities in the real plane, and a double point in the complex projective plane at x=0, z=0. If we move x=0 and z=0 to the origin substituting and perform an imaginary rotation on x bu substituting ix/z for x and 1/z for y in the bicorn curve, we obtain \left(x^2 - 2az + a^2 z^2\right)^2 = x^2 + a^2 z^2.

Witch Of Agnesi
In mathematics, the witch of Agnesi () is a cubic plane curve defined from two diametrically opposite points of a circle. It gets its name from Italian mathematician Maria Gaetana Agnesi, and from a mistranslation of an Italian word for a sailing sheet. Before Agnesi, the same curve was studied by Fermat, Grandi, and Newton. The graph of the derivative of the arctangent function forms an example of the witch of Agnesi. As the probability density function of the Cauchy distribution, the witch of Agnesi has applications in probability theory. It also gives rise to Runge's phenomenon in the approximation of functions by polynomials, has been used to approximate the energy distribution of spectral lines, and models the shape of hills. The witch is tangent to its defining circle at one of the two defining points, and asymptotic to the tangent line to the circle at the other point. It has a unique vertex (a point of extreme curvature) at the point of tangency with its defining cir ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tschirnhausen Cubic
In algebraic geometry, the Tschirnhausen cubic, or Tschirnhaus' cubic is a plane curve defined, in its left-opening form, by the polar equation :r = a\sec^3 \left(\frac\right) where is the secant function. History The curve was studied by Ehrenfried Walther von Tschirnhaus, von Tschirnhaus, Guillaume de l'Hôpital, de L'Hôpital, and Eugène Charles Catalan, Catalan. It was given the name Tschirnhausen cubic in a 1900 paper by R C Archibald, though it is sometimes known as de L'Hôpital's cubic or the trisectrix of Catalan. Other equations Put t=\tan(\theta/3). Then applying De Moivre's formula, triple-angle formulas gives :x=a\cos \theta \sec^3 \frac = a \left(\cos^3 \frac - 3 \cos \frac \sin^2 \frac \right) \sec^3 \frac= a\left(1 - 3 \tan^2 \frac\right) ::= a(1 - 3t^2) :y=a\sin \theta \sec^3 \frac = a \left(3 \cos^2 \frac\sin \frac - \sin^3 \frac \right) \sec^3 \frac= a \left(3 \tan \frac - \tan^3 \frac \right) ::= at(3-t^2) giving a parametric equation, parametric form for ...
