PARABOLIC CURVES
• Point of Vertical Curvature (PVC): the beginning of the arc
• Point of Vertical Tangency (PVT):The end of the arc
• Point of Vertical Intersection (PVI): The point where the two tangents intersect
• Length of the Chord (L): The length from PVC to PVT

WHY CIRCLES INSTEAD OF PARABOLAS?• Passenger comfort
• Side friction • Safety
• Point-mass friction analysis works for passenger cars (but not tractor trailers)• Increased safety and comfort with super-elevation

CIRCULAR CURVES
• Point of Curvature (PC): the beginning of the arc
• Point of Tangency (PT):The end of the arc
• Point of Intersection (PI): The point where the two tangents intersect
• Length of the long chord (C): The length from PC to PT

MODERN APPLICATIONS
• Navigation
• Astronomy
• Geodesy
• GPS
• Satellite communication
I GOT TO READ SOME RATHER OLD BOOKS
• Spherical Trigonometry with Naval and Military Applications (1942) by Kells, Kern and Bland
• Trigonometry Refresher (1946) by Klaf
• Sphere, Spheroid and Projections for Surveyors (1980) by Jackson
… And a little more recent one
• Heavenly Mathematics (2012) by Van Brummelen
A LITTLE HISTORY
• Ancient Greece• Menelaus of Alexandria (70 – 140 CE)
• Ancient Persia• Abū Sahl al-Qūhī (10th century)
"Gravure originale du compas parfait par Abū Sahl al-Qūhī" (Engraving of al-Quhi's perfect compass to draw conic sections) by Abū Sahl al-Qūhī - Persian
JOHN NAPIER (1550 – 1617)
• Mirifici Logarithmorum Canonis Descriptio (Description of the Wonderful Rule of Logarithms) in 1614
• Discussed logarithms
• Established Napier’s Rules of Circular Parts
1) Sine of the middle angle = Product of the tangents of the adjacent angles
2) Sine of an angle = Product of the cosines of the opposite angles
