Visual Dictionary of Special Plane Curves

2010-11-20 I'm currently doing a major update on this project. The 80 Mathematica files will be updated to version 7. Links may fail.

2011-03-13 News: 60+ GeoGebra files can be downloaded. Plane Curves: GeoGebra Files Index. Robert Yate's book also available: “Curves And Their Properties” by Robert Yates
