| 11. | I am interested in plane curves only.
|
| 12. | The second generalized curvature is called "'torsion "'and measures the deviance of from being a plane curve.
|
| 13. | I realize the formula only holds if the plane curve does not cross the axis of rotation.
|
| 14. | Consider the affine plane curve defined by the equation y ^ 2 = x ^ 5 + 1.
|
| 15. | It starts with a plane curve, and repeatedly applies birational transformations to the plane to improve the curve.
|
| 16. | For example, the disjoint union of a Sierpinski carpet and a circle is also a universal plane curve.
|
| 17. | The plane curves of degree 3 are called cubic plane curves and, if they are non-singular, elliptic curves.
|
| 18. | Thus for " g " = 3 the canonical curves ( non-hyperelliptic case ) are quartic plane curves.
|
| 19. | The plane curves of degree 3 are called cubic plane curves and, if they are non-singular, elliptic curves.
|
| 20. | The affine focal set of a plane curve will cusp points ( semi-cubical palabara | semi-cubical parabolae ).
