An epicycloid is a type of curve generated by a point on the circumference of a circle (called the generating or rolling circle) as it rolls without slipping around the outside of a fixed circle.Â

Applications:
Gear Design: Used in the design of gear teeth, particularly in epicyclic (planetary) gear systems, to ensure smooth and efficient power transmission.
Mechanical Engineering: Employed in cams and followers to produce specific motion profiles in machinery.
Watchmaking: Applied in the design of escapement wheels and gears in high-precision watches to reduce friction and wear.
Wave and Harmonic Analysis: Studied in physics for analyzing wave patterns and harmonic motion, particularly in the context of vibrations and oscillations.
Art and Design: Utilized in artistic designs and patterns, especially in Spirograph-type drawings, to create intricate and visually appealing patterns.
