Abstract:
The family of cycloid curves are generated in two different ways in the Euclidean plane: following a tack in a wheel rolling around a circular track and following a tack in a bungee cord whose ends are held by two runners on a circular track. What happens in hyperbolic space? Do the two approaches yield the same curve? Come and find out!
