Lecture

Parametric Curves: Envelope and Caustics

Description

This lecture covers the concept of parametric curves, focusing on the envelope of a family of curves and caustics. It explains how to find the parametric equations of the envelope and explores examples such as the Archimedean spiral and caustic curves. The instructor discusses the implicit and explicit equations of curves, as well as the conditions for the existence of envelopes.
