  2. Fermat's spiral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermat's_spiral

    Let φ 1 = 0, φ 2 = 2π; then the area of the black region (see diagram) is A 0 = a 2 π 2, which is half of the area of the circle K 0 with radius r(2π). The regions between neighboring curves (white, blue, yellow) have the same area A = 2a 2 π 2. Hence: The area between two arcs of the spiral after a full turn equals the area of the circle ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_coordinate_system

    A polar rose is a mathematical curve that looks like a petaled flower, and that can be expressed as a simple polar equation, = ⁡ (+) for any constant γ 0 (including 0). If k is an integer, these equations will produce a k -petaled rose if k is odd , or a 2 k -petaled rose if k is even.

    The p-th polar of a C for a natural number p is defined as Δ Q p f(x, y, z) = 0. This is a curve of degree n−p. When p is n−1 the p-th polar is a line called the polar line of C with respect to Q. Similarly, when p is n−2 the curve is called the polar conic of C.

    Arc length is the distance between two points along a section of a curve. Development of a formulation of arc length suitable for applications to mathematics and the sciences is a focus of calculus .

  6. Hyperbola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbola

    Hyperbola (red): two views of a cone and two Dandelin spheres d 1, d 2 The intersection of an upright double cone by a plane not through the vertex with slope greater than the slope of the lines on the cone is a hyperbola (see diagram: red curve).

  7. Folium of Descartes - Wikipedia

    Using either one of the polar representations above, the area of the interior of the loop is found to be /. Moreover, the area between the "wings" of the curve and its slanted asymptote is also 3 a 2 / 2 {\displaystyle 3a^{2}/2} .

  8. Coordinate systems for the hyperbolic plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinate_systems_for_the...

    The Lobachevsky coordinates are useful for integration for length of curves [2] and area between lines and curves. [example needed] Lobachevsky coordinates are named after Nikolai Lobachevsky one of the discoverers of hyperbolic geometry. Circles about the origin of radius 1, 5 and 10 in the Lobachevsky hyperbolic coordinates.

    except that for a = 0 the implicit form has an acnode (0,0) not present in polar form. They are rational, circular, cubic plane curves. These expressions have an asymptote x = 1 (for a ≠ 0). The point most distant from the asymptote is (1 + a, 0). (0,0) is a crunode for a < −1. The area between the curve and the asymptote is, for a ≥ −1,
