Tschirnhausen Cubic
The Tschirnhausen cubic is a plane curve given by
and is also known as Catalan's Trisectrix and L'Hospital's Cubic. The name Tschirnhaus's cubic is given inR. C. Archibald's 1900 paper attempting to classify curves (MacTutor Archive). Tschirnhaus's cubic is theNegative Pedal Curve of a Parabola with respect to the Focus.
