21Dual curve — Curves, dual to each other; see below for properties. In projective geometry, a dual curve of a given plane curve C is a curve in the dual projective plane consisting of the set of lines tangent to C. There is a map from a curve to its dual,… …
22Algebraic curve — In algebraic geometry, an algebraic curve is an algebraic variety of dimension one. The theory of these curves in general was quite fully developed in the nineteenth century, after many particular examples had been considered, starting with… …
23Classical modular curve — In number theory, the classical modular curve is an irreducible plane algebraic curve given by an equation Φn(x, y)=0, where for the j invariant j(τ), x=j(n τ), y=j(τ) is a point on the curve. The curve is sometimes called X0(n), though often… …
24Plane curve — In mathematics, a plane curve is a curve in a Euclidean plane (cf. space curve). The most frequently studied cases are smooth plane curves (including piecewise smooth plane curves), and algebraic plane curves. A smooth plane curve is a curve in a …
25Genus–degree formula — In classical algebraic geometry, the genus–degree formula relates the degree d of a non singular plane curve with its arithmetic genus g via the formula: A singularity of order r decreases the genus by .[1] Proofs The proof follows immediately… …
26Dead Man's Curve — For other uses, see Dead Man s Curve (disambiguation). Dead Man s Curve in Cleveland, Ohio Dead Man s Curve is the unofficial but commonly used name given to hazardous curves on Interstate Highways and other roads in the United States that have… …
27Circular algebraic curve — In geometry, a circular algebraic curve is a type of plane algebraic curve determined by an equation F(x, y) = 0, where F is a polynomial with real coefficients and the highest order terms of F form a polynomial divisible by… …
28Rational normal curve — In mathematics, the rational normal curve is a smooth, rational curve C of degree n in projective n space mathbb{P}^n. It is a simple example of a projective variety. The twisted cubic is the special case of n =3.DefinitionThe rational normal… …
29Track transition curve — The red Euler spiral is an example of an easement curve between a blue straight line and a circular arc, shown in green …
30Hyperelliptic curve — In algebraic geometry, a hyperelliptic curve (over the complex numbers) is an algebraic curve given by an equation of the form:y^2 = f(x)where f(x) is a polynomial of degree n > 4 with n distinct roots. A hyperelliptic function is a function from …
