  2. Perimeter of an ellipse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perimeter_of_an_ellipse

    In more recent years, computer programs have been used to find and calculate more precise approximations of the perimeter of an ellipse. In an online video about the perimeter of an ellipse, recreational mathematician and YouTuber Matt Parker, using a computer program, calculated numerous approximations for the perimeter of an ellipse.

  3. Ellipse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipse

    An ellipse (red) obtained as the intersection of a cone with an inclined plane. Ellipse: notations Ellipses: examples with increasing eccentricity. In mathematics, an ellipse is a plane curve surrounding two focal points, such that for all points on the curve, the sum of the two distances to the focal points is a constant.

  4. Finding Ellipses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finding_Ellipses

    Finding Ellipses: What Blaschke Products, Poncelet’s Theorem, and the Numerical Range Know about Each Other is a mathematics book on "some surprising connections among complex analysis, geometry, and linear algebra", [1] and on the connected ways that ellipses can arise from other subjects of study in all three of these fields. [2]

  5. Conjugate diameters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugate_diameters

    For an ellipse, two diameters are conjugate if and only if the tangent line to the ellipse at an endpoint of one diameter is parallel to the other diameter. Each pair of conjugate diameters of an ellipse has a corresponding tangent parallelogram, sometimes called a bounding parallelogram (skewed compared to a bounding rectangle).

  6. Director circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Director_circle

    More generally, for any collection of points P i, weights w i, and constant C, one can define a circle as the locus of points X such that (,) =.. The director circle of an ellipse is a special case of this more general construction with two points P 1 and P 2 at the foci of the ellipse, weights w 1 = w 2 = 1, and C equal to the square of the major axis of the ellipse.

  7. Elliptical distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptical_distribution

    In the 2-dimensional case, if the density exists, each iso-density locus (the set of x 1,x 2 pairs all giving a particular value of ()) is an ellipse or a union of ellipses (hence the name elliptical distribution).

  8. Evolute - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolute

    The evolute of a curve (in this case, an ellipse) is the envelope of its normals. In the differential geometry of curves, the evolute of a curve is the locus of all its centers of curvature. That is to say that when the center of curvature of each point on a curve is drawn, the resultant shape will be the evolute of that curve.

  9. Hartshorne ellipse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hartshorne_ellipse

    In mathematics, a Hartshorne ellipse is an ellipse in the unit ball bounded by the 4-sphere S 4 such that the ellipse and the circle given by intersection of its plane with S 4 satisfy the Poncelet condition that there is a triangle with vertices on the circle and edges tangent to the ellipse.
