  2. Limaçon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limaçon

    Construction of the limaçon r = 2 + cos(π – θ) with polar coordinates' origin at (x, y) = (⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠, 0). In geometry, a limaçon or limacon / ˈ l ɪ m ə s ɒ n /, also known as a limaçon of Pascal or Pascal's Snail, is defined as a roulette curve formed by the path of a point fixed to a circle when that circle rolls around the outside of a circle of equal radius.

  3. Rose (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_(mathematics)

    Graphs of roses are composed of petals.A petal is the shape formed by the graph of a half-cycle of the sinusoid that specifies the rose. (A cycle is a portion of a sinusoid that is one period T = ⁠ 2π / k ⁠ long and consists of a positive half-cycle, the continuous set of points where r ≥ 0 and is ⁠ T / 2 ⁠ = ⁠ π / k ⁠ long, and a negative half-cycle is the other half where r ...

    The curve is one among a number of plane curve trisectrixes that includes the Conchoid of Nicomedes, [2] the Cycloid of Ceva, [3] Quadratrix of Hippias, Trisectrix of Maclaurin, and Tschirnhausen cubic. The limaçon trisectrix a special case of a sectrix of Maclaurin.

  5. Hexadecagon - Wikipedia

    In 3-dimensions it will be a zig-zag skew hexadecagon and can be seen in the vertices and side edges of an octagonal antiprism with the same D 8d, [2 +,16] symmetry, order 32. The octagrammic antiprism , s{2,16/3} and octagrammic crossed-antiprism , s{2,16/5} also have regular skew octagons.

  6. List of second moments of area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_second_moments_of_area

    The second moment of area, also known as area moment of inertia, is a geometrical property of an area which reflects how its points are distributed with respect to an arbitrary axis. The unit of dimension of the second moment of area is length to fourth power, L 4, and should not be confused with the mass moment of inertia.

  7. Archimedean spiral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedean_spiral

    Equivalently, in polar coordinates (r, θ) it can be described by the equation = with real number b. Changing the parameter b controls the distance between loops. From the above equation, it can thus be stated: position of the particle from point of start is proportional to angle θ as time elapses.

  8. Folium of Descartes - Wikipedia

    Implicit differentiation gives the formula for the slope of the tangent line to this curve to be [3] =. Using either one of the polar representations above, the area of the interior of the loop is found to be 3 a 2 / 2 {\displaystyle 3a^{2}/2} .

  9. Inverse Symbolic Calculator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_Symbolic_Calculator

    A user will input a number and the Calculator will use an algorithm to search for and calculate closed-form expressions or suitable functions that have roots near this number. Hence, the calculator is of great importance for those working in numerical areas of experimental mathematics. The ISC contains 54 million mathematical constants. Plouffe ...
