  2. Circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle

    where a is the radius of the circle, (,) are the polar coordinates of a generic point on the circle, and (,) are the polar coordinates of the centre of the circle (i.e., r 0 is the distance from the origin to the centre of the circle, and φ is the anticlockwise angle from the positive x axis to the line connecting the origin to the centre of ...

  3. Polar coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_coordinate_system

    The equation defining a plane curve expressed in polar coordinates is known as a polar equation. In many cases, such an equation can simply be specified by defining r as a function of φ. The resulting curve then consists of points of the form (r(φ), φ) and can be regarded as the graph of the polar function r.

  4. Circumcircle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumcircle

    Hence, given the radius, r, center, P c, a point on the circle, P 0 and a unit normal of the plane containing the circle, ⁠ ^, ⁠ one parametric equation of the circle starting from the point P 0 and proceeding in a positively oriented (i.e., right-handed) sense about ⁠ ^ ⁠ is the following:

  5. Unit circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_circle

    Since C = 2πr, the circumference of a unit circle is 2π. In mathematics, a unit circle is a circle of unit radius—that is, a radius of 1. [1] Frequently, especially in trigonometry, the unit circle is the circle of radius 1 centered at the origin (0, 0) in the Cartesian coordinate system in the Euclidean plane.

  6. Radius of curvature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radius_of_curvature

    Radius of curvature and center of curvature. In differential geometry, the radius of curvature, R, is the reciprocal of the curvature. For a curve, it equals the radius of the circular arc which best approximates the curve at that point. For surfaces, the radius of curvature is the radius of a circle that best fits a normal section or ...

  7. Gauss circle problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss_circle_problem

    Since the equation of this circle is given in Cartesian coordinates by + =, the question is equivalently asking how many pairs of integers m and n there are such that m 2 + n 2 ≤ r 2 . {\displaystyle m^{2}+n^{2}\leq r^{2}.}

  8. Arc length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_length

    The length of the curve is given by the formula = | ′ | where | ′ | is the Euclidean norm of the tangent vector ′ to the curve. To justify this formula, define the arc length as limit of the sum of linear segment lengths for a regular partition of [ a , b ] {\displaystyle [a,b]} as the number of segments approaches infinity.

  9. Mohr's circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohr's_circle

    Eliminating the parameter from these parametric equations will yield the non-parametric equation of the Mohr circle. This can be achieved by rearranging the equations for σ n {\displaystyle \sigma _{\mathrm {n} }} and τ n {\displaystyle \tau _{\mathrm {n} }} , first transposing the first term in the first equation and squaring both sides of ...
