Poster Title

P-51 An Involute and Evolute of a Rectifying Curve

Presenter Information

Jeongjin Park, Andrews University

Abstract

The idea of involute is due to C. Huygens (1658), and he is also known for his work in optics. He found involutes while trying to build a more accurate clock. Now, the involute and evolute are well-known concepts to study space curves in 3D space. In this project, we are investigating rectifying curves using their partner curves, involute and evolute.
