|
QUADRINODAL |
Possessing four nodes; as, quadrinodal curves. |
|
CUSP |
Pointed end where curves meet; dental prominence |

|
|
NONPLANE |
Not lying in one plane; -- said of certain curves. |
|
GAUCHE |
Winding; twisted; warped; -- applied to curves and
surfaces. |
|
CONCHOMETRY |
The art of measuring shells or their curves;
conchyliometry. |
|
CRUNODAL |
Possessing, or characterized by, a crunode; -- used of
curves. |
|
ANACLASTIC |
Produced by the refraction of light, as seen through
water; as, anaclastic curves. |
|
ORTHOGONALLY |
Perpendicularly; at right angles; as, a curve cuts
a set of curves orthogonally. |
|
ENGRAILED |
Indented with small concave curves, as the edge of a
bordure, bend, or the like. |
|
KINETOGENESIS |
An instrument for producing curves by the
combination of circular movements; -- called also kinescope. |
|
SOFT |
Having, or consisting of, a gentle curve or curves; not
angular or abrupt; as, soft outlines. |
|
CURVE |
To bend or turn gradually from a given direction; as, the
road curves to the right. |
|
CONICS |
That branch of geometry which treats of the cone and the
curves which arise from its sections. |
|
NEBULY |
A line or a direction composed of successive short curves
or waves supposed to resembe a cloud. See NEbulE |
|
CONTACT |
The property of two curves, or surfaces, which meet, and
at the point of meeting have a common direction. |
|
CENTRODE |
In two figures having relative motion, one of the two
curves which are the loci of the instantaneous center. |
|
QUADRATRIX |
A curve made use of in the quadrature of other curves;
as the quadratrix, of Dinostratus, or of Tschirnhausen. |
|
LUNETTE |
Any surface of semicircular or segmental form; especially,
the piece of wall between the curves of a vault and its springing line. |
|
DIACAUSTIC |
Pertaining to, or possessing the properties of, a
species of caustic curves formed by refraction. See Caustic surface,
under Caustic. |
