horizontal rays||Caustic curve wrt another point| The name
Tschirnhaus's cubic is given in R C Archibald's paper written in
1900 where he attempted to classify curves. Tschirnhaus's cubic
is the negative pedal of a parabola with respect to the focus of
the parabola. The caustic of Tschirnhaus's cubic where the
radiant point is the pole is Neile's semi-cubic parabola . |Main
