  2. Osculating circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osculating_circle

    The circle with center at Q and with radius R is called the osculating circle to the curve γ at the point P. If C is a regular space curve then the osculating circle is defined in a similar way, using the principal normal vector N. It lies in the osculating plane, the plane spanned by the tangent and principal normal vectors T and N at the ...

  3. Inversive geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversive_geometry

    P ' is the inverse of P with respect to the circle. To invert a number in arithmetic usually means to take its reciprocal. A closely related idea in geometry is that of "inverting" a point. In the plane, the inverse of a point P with respect to a reference circle (Ø) with center O and radius r is a point P ', lying on the ray from O through P ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vedic_Mathematics

    Dinanath Batra had conducted a lengthy campaign for the inclusion of Vedic Maths into the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) curricula. [26] Subsequently, there was a proposal from NCERT to induct Vedic Maths, along with a number of fringe pseudo-scientific subjects (Vedic Astrology et al.), into the standard academic ...

  5. Incircle and excircles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incircle_and_excircles

    The nine-point circle is tangent to the incircle and excircles. In geometry, the nine-point circle is a circle that can be constructed for any given triangle. It is so named because it passes through nine significant concyclic points defined from the triangle. These nine points are: [28] [29] The midpoint of each side of the triangle; The foot ...

  6. Area of a circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_of_a_circle

    The transformation sends the circle to an ellipse by stretching or shrinking the horizontal and vertical diameters to the major and minor axes of the ellipse. The square gets sent to a rectangle circumscribing the ellipse. The ratio of the area of the circle to the square is π /4, which means the ratio of the ellipse to the rectangle is also π /4

  7. Circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle

    A circle bounds a region of the plane called a disc. The circle has been known since before the beginning of recorded history. Natural circles are common, such as the full moon or a slice of round fruit. The circle is the basis for the wheel, which, with related inventions such as gears, makes much of modern

  8. Locus (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Each curve in this example is a locus defined as the conchoid of the point P and the line l.In this example, P is 8 cm from l. In geometry, a locus (plural: loci) (Latin word for "place", "location") is a set of all points (commonly, a line, a line segment, a curve or a surface), whose location satisfies or is determined by one or more specified conditions.
