Description
A detailed tutorial of the definition of a cissoid. Step by step tutorial including a visual example of the definition of a cissoid for reference.
Overview
A cissoid is a curve that is found from two curves and a point. The point is known as “the pole”. Each definition of a cissoid and instructions on how to find the cissoid are a little different, depending on your source. However, the basic definition of a cissoid is that it is an average point that is relative to the pole and found between the two given curves. Keep in mind that the cissoid is a curve, not a point, but the curve is to be drawn from the point that is found.
