Describes the drawing of plane curves, cycloidal curves, spirals, glissettes and others.

Mechanisms for the Generation of Plane Curves focuses on the possibility of generating plane curves through kinematic linkages. The book first offers informatio

This book describes recent progress in the topological study of plane curves. The theory of plane curves is much richer than knot theory, which may be considere
