Description

This lecture covers the modeling of an instrument capable of producing various plane epicyclic curves, including circles and ellipses. The instructor demonstrates the process of creating the instrument and explains the specific cases of curves it can generate, such as circles and ellipses. The lecture also delves into the spatial curves that can be generated by a variant of the instrument in a three-dimensional space.
