Famous curves studied with GeoGebra University of Miskolc, Cyprus We will study the Chapter Famous curves of the MacTutor History of Mathematics archive, see: http://www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/Curves/Curves.html The GeoGebra software is suitable to represent both the set of functions, and the so called associated curves, like evolutes, or involutes, and to experience their relation. The curves are given either in explicit, implicit, parametric or polar coordinate form, and we will explore the power of the software to visualize them. The osculating circle, tangent, normals, convex boundary of family or curves or Taylor-series will be mentioned as well.
