Lemniscate

In algebraic geometry, a lemniscate is any of several figure-eight or ∞-shaped curves. The word comes from the Latin "lēmniscātus" meaning "decorated with ribbons", from the Greek λημνίσκος meaning "ribbons", or which alternatively may refer to the wool from which the ribbons were made. Curves that have been called a lemniscate include three quartic plane curves: the hippopede or lemniscate of Booth, the lemniscate of Bernoulli, and the lemniscate of Gerono. The study of lemniscates (and in particular the hippopede) dates to ancient Greek mathematics, but the term "lemniscate" for curves of this type comes from the work of Jacob Bernoulli in the late 17th century. (Wikipedia).

Newton's method and algebraic curves | Real numbers and limits Math Foundations 86 | N J Wildberger

Newton's method can be extended to meets of algebraic curves. We show how, using the examples of the Fermat curve and the Lemniscate of Bernoulli. We start by finding the Taylor expansions of the associated polynomials (polynumbers) at a fixed point (r,s) in the plane. The first tangents

The differential calculus for curves (II) | Differential Geometry 8 | NJ Wildberger

In this video we extend Lagrange's approach to the differential calculus to the case of algebraic curves. This means we can study tangent lines, tangent conics and so on to a general curve of the form p(x,y)=0; this includes the situation y=f(x) as a special case. It also allows us to deal
