Abstract/Summary

This paper presents the main concepts of curves of constant width. It provides definitions of various terms with their corresponding illustrations, important theorems and a sketch of their detailed proofs that are necessary for the discussion of the curves of constant width. It also discusses a specific kind of such curve, the Reuleaux triangle.All the theorems stated in this study are lifted from the books: Convex Figures and Enjoyment of Mathematics written by I.M. Yaglom and Teoplitz respectively.
