Cycloid
(gcide) | Cycloid \Cy"cloid\ (s?"kloid), n. [Cyclo- + -oid: cf. F.
cyclo["i]de.] (Geom.)
A curve generated by a point in the plane of a circle when
the circle is rolled along a straight line, keeping always in
the same plane.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The common cycloid is the curve described when the
generating point (p) is on the circumference of the
generating circle; the curtate cycloid, when that point
lies without the circumference; the prolate or
inflected cycloid, when the generating point (p) lies
within that circumference.

brachy`s short) + ? time : cf. F. brachistochrone. ] (Math.)
A curve, in which a body, starting from a given point, and
descending solely by the force of gravity, will reach another
given point in a shorter time than it could by any other
path. This curve of quickest descent, as it is sometimes
called, is, in a vacuum, the same as the cycloid.

(gcide) | Geometric \Ge`o*met"ric\, Geometrical \Ge`o*met"ric*al\, a. [L.
geometricus; Gr. ?: cf. F. g['e]om['e]trique.]
1. Pertaining to, or according to the rules or principles of,
geometry; determined by geometry; as, a geometrical
solution of a problem.
[1913 Webster]
2. (Art) characterized by simple geometric forms in design
and decoration; as, a buffalo hide painted with red and

Syn: geometric.
[WordNet 1.5]
Note: Geometric is often used, as opposed to algebraic, to
include processes or solutions in which the
propositions or principles of geometry are made use of
rather than those of algebra.
[1913 Webster]
Note: Geometrical is often used in a limited or strictly
technical sense, as opposed to mechanical; thus, a
construction or solution is geometrical which can be
made by ruler and compasses, i. e., by means of right
lines and circles. Every construction or solution which
requires any other curve, or such motion of a line or
circle as would generate any other curve, is not
geometrical, but mechanical. By another distinction, a
geometrical solution is one obtained by the rules of
geometry, or processes of analysis, and hence is exact;
while a mechanical solution is one obtained by trial,
by actual measurements, with instruments, etc., and is
only approximate and empirical.
[1913 Webster]

operations of elementary geometry.

etc., with complicated patterns of interlacing lines; --

Geometric pen, an instrument for drawing geometric curves,
in which the movements of a pen or pencil attached to a

Epicycloid
(gcide) | Epicycloid \Ep`i*cy"cloid\, n. [Epicycle + -oid: cf. F.

A curve traced by a point in the circumference of a circle
which rolls on the convex side of a fixed circle.
[1913 Webster]
Note: Any point rigidly connected with the rolling circle,
but not in its circumference, traces a curve called an
epitrochoid. The curve traced by a point in the
circumference of the rolling circle when it rolls on
the concave side of a fixed circle is called a
hypocycloid; the curve traced by a point rigidly
connected with the rolling circle in this case, but not
its circumference, is called a hypotrochoid. All the
curves mentioned above belong to the class class called
roulettes or trochoids. See Trochoid.
