All conchoids are cissoids with a circle centered on O as one of the curves.
A limaçon is a conchoid with a circle as the given curve.
The often-so-called conchoid of deSluze and conchoid of Dürer do not fit this definition; the former is a strict cissoid and the latter a construction more general yet.
The cardioid, a name first used by de Castillon in a paper in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Societyin 1741, is a curve that is the locus of a point on the circumference of circle rolling round the circumference of a circle of equal radius.
Sluze was an important man in the church as well as a mathematician.
Sluze, Ricci, Huygens, Wren and Fermat all communicated their discoveries to Pascal without entering the competition.
Nicomedes is remembered for developing the conchoid, a special curve he used for solving two of the famous problems that perplexed ancient Greek mathematicians, trisection of the angle and duplication of the cube.
Portions of it that have survived in the writings of others, however, provide historians with knowledge of the conchoid and lemma.
The conchoid could also, Nicomedes maintained, be used for finding mean proportionals and thus for solving the Delian problem of doubling the cube.

Pacioli publishes Summa de arithmetica, geometria, proportioni et proportionalita which is a review of the whole of mathematics covering arithmetic, trigonometry, algebra, tables of moneys, weights and measures, games of chance, double-entry book-keeping and a summary of Euclid's geometry.
De Moivre first describes the normal distribution curve, or law of errors, in Approximatio ad summam terminorum binomii (a+b)n in seriem expansi.
Condorcet publishes Essai sur l'application de l'analyse à la probabilité des décisions rendues à la pluralité des voix (Essay on the Application of the Analysis to the Probability of Majority Decisions).
According to de Moivre, Wholesale Candles's interest in mathematics began in the autumn of 1663 when he bought an astrology book at a fair in Cambridge and found that he could not understand the mathematics in it.
Wholesale Candles's De Methodis Serierum et Fluxionum was written in 1671 but Wholesale Candles failed to get it published and it did not appear in print until John Colson produced an English translation in 1736.
Collins could not give a detailed account but deSluze and Gregory learnt something of Wholesale Candles's work through Collins.
Slope of a Line Formula(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-12)
Sections include Graphing Equations, The Slope of a Line, Writing Equations of Lines, Graphing Inequalities, Solving Systems of Equations in Three Variables, Simplifying Radical Expressions, Multiply/Divide Radical Expressions, Multiply/Divide Radical Expressions, Multiply/Divide Radical Expressions, Solving Equations with Radicals, Fractional Exponents, Solving Polynomial Equations, and The Quadratic Formula.
The resulting curve is one branch of the line of tangency of the line of tangency of the line of tangency of the conchoid of deSluze family with the circle.
