| Title | Unpublished paper, 'On the differential invariants of twisted curves with some illustrations of the application to quartic curves' by R F Gwyther |
| Creator | Gwyther; R F (fl 1883-1907); Fielden Chair of Pure Mathematics at the University of Manchester |
| Date | 1894 |
| Description | The object of this paper is to obtain relations connecting what [Georges-Henri] Halphen calls the canonical invariants of the curve, without the intervention of what are called by him the fundamental invariants. In any geometrical investigation it is the canonical invariants which present themselves, and the relations between the consecutive canonical invariants, and the values of their differential coefficients must, if the method of investigation is to be used, be expressed, in terms of canonical invariants only, without the intervention of the other series of invariants which Halphen treats as fundamental.
