Convex curve

(

)

... that after Archimedes first defined convex curves, mathematicians lost interest in their analysis until the 19th century, over two millennia later? Source: "Archimedes first defined", "lost interest": Dwilewicz, http://www.mathem.pub.ro/dgds/v11/D11-DW.pdf; "until the 19th century": Gruber, https://books.google.com/books?id=M2viBQAAQBAJ&pg=PA3, "The first contributions to convexity date back to antiquity but the systematic study started only at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century"

Improved to Good Article status by David Eppstein (talk). Self-nominated at 02:45, 13 January 2023 (UTC).

Newly promoted GA, plenty long enough. Neutral, well cited, and no copyvio issues. Hook is short enough, cited in the article, neutral, and quite interesting. (You mean to tell me there's something Euler didn't have his fingers in?) QPQ is done. Good to go! Pi.1415926535 (talk) 04:47, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
