Roulette (curve) application of this is that a square wheel could roll without bouncing on a road that is a matched series of catenary arcs. Roulette (curve) In the differential geometry of curves, a roulette is a kind of curve, generalizing cycloids, epicycloids, hypocycloids, trochoids, and involutes. Roughly speaking, a roulette is the curve described by a point (called the "generator" or "pole") attached to a given curve as that curve rolls without slipping, along a second given curve that is fixed. More precisely, given a curve attached to a plane which is moving so that the curve rolls, without slipping, along
Grading on a curve a uniform distribution. One method of grading on a curve uses three steps: For example, if there are five grades in a particular university course, A, B, C, D, and F, where A is reserved for the top 20% of students, B for the next 30%, C for the next 30%-40%, and D or F for the remaining 10%-20%, then scores in the percentile interval from 0% to 20% will receive a grade of D or F, scores from 21% to 50% will receive a grade of C, scores from 51% to 80% receive a grade of B, and scores
