Iterating z to z squared plus c on the complex plane draws a fractal boundary and its self-similar structure.
A hypotrochoid is the path of a pen on a circle rolling inside a fixed circle; R and r set the corners, and d sets how sharp they are.
One rotation, read as complex multiplication, a point on the unit circle, and the cosine and sine of the same angle.
From a point outside a circle, the square of the tangent segment equals the secant's external part times the whole secant.
From one point outside a circle, each secant's external part times the whole secant is the same number.
On the unit disk, an equilateral triangle whose sides are arcs orthogonal to the boundary has a smaller angle sum nearer the edge.
Enter a mathematical idea by topic and build its core picture with interactive visualizations.
At one exterior point, the secant product and the square of the tangent segment are the same number.
