Let C be a rational curve and Φ (λ, μ) a symmetric binary n-ic. If we select pairs of points on C whose parameters λ and μ are connected by the relation
Φ(λ, μ) = 0, ... ... ... (1)
and associate with such a pair a determinate space element (such as, the line joining them or the intersection of their osculating planes), we shall have an one-dimensional aggregate of these elements which we shall refer to as the derived locus.
