2. Oval - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oval

   An oval (from Latin ovum 'egg') is a closed curve in a plane which resembles the outline of an egg. The term is not very specific, but in some areas ( projective geometry , technical drawing , etc.) it is given a more precise definition, which may include either one or two axes of symmetry of an ellipse .

3. Cartesian oval - Wikipedia

   He defined the oval as the solution to a differential equation, constructed its subnormals, and again investigated its optical properties. [ 8 ] The French mathematician Michel Chasles discovered in the 19th century that, if a Cartesian oval is defined by two points P and Q , then there is in general a third point R on the same line such that ...

   Oval (from the Latin "ovum" for egg), a descriptive term applied to several kinds of "rounded" shapes, including the egg shape; Pear shaped, in reference to the shape of a pear, i.e., a generally rounded shape, tapered towards the top and more spherical/circular at the bottom; Rod, a 3-dimensional, solid (filled) cylinder. Rod shaped bacteria

5. Shape - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape

   A more flexible definition of shape takes into consideration the fact that realistic shapes are often deformable, e.g. a person in different postures, a tree bending in the wind or a hand with different finger positions. One way of modeling non-rigid movements is by homeomorphisms. Roughly speaking, a homeomorphism is a continuous stretching ...

6. Oval (projective plane) - Wikipedia

   To the definition of an oval: e: exterior (passing) line, t: tangent, s: secant. In projective geometry an oval is a point set in a plane that is defined by incidence properties. The standard examples are the nondegenerate conics. However, a conic is only defined in a pappian plane, whereas an oval may exist in any type of projective plane. In ...
