Famous curves studied with GeoGebra

Péter Körtesi

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.
