Those curves named for this figure are modular according to the TaniyamaShimura conjecture.
Lame [la-MEY] curves in which n is greater than two are known as the super type of these figures. A device called the trammel of Archimedes is used to draw them. A type of cryptography is named for curves of this figure, which have the equation y squared equals x cubed plus ax plus b. Those curves named for this figure are modular according to the TaniyamaShimura conjecture. The sum of the distances of any point on this figure from its two foci is constant. For 10 points, name this conic section that has an eccentricity of less than one and resembles an elongated circle.
