algebraic curves
Algebraic curves are geometric objects defined by polynomial equations, such as x^2 + y^2 = 1. They represent the set of points in the plane that satisfy the equation. Algebraic curves can have different shapes, sizes, and complexities, depending on the equation defining them. They are fundamental objects in algebraic geometry and are studied to understand the relationship between algebraic equations and geometric shapes.
