Quadratrix information


In geometry, a quadratrix (from Latin quadrator 'squarer') is a curve having ordinates which are a measure of the area (or quadrature) of another curve. The two most famous curves of this class are those of Dinostratus and E. W. Tschirnhaus, which are both related to the circle.
