Witch of Agnesi Previously studied by Fermat and later by James Gregory “Witch” is a mistranslation of a word meaning cubic curve View moveable applet to see how the function is created.

Witch of Agnesi Consider the circle with diameter PQ and center at (0, a) as shown. A tangent line L1 is constructed to the circle at point Q. A line from point P is drawn to intersect the circle at point R and extended to intersect line L1 at point S. From point S a line is drawn parallel to the y-axis, intersecting L2 at point W. Agnesi’s curve is the set of points W generated by points R on the circle. - From Sanerson & Smith p. 110 S W R L1 L2 (0,2) P Q,
